Various members of the House COVID Select Subcommittee spoke to CNN about their investigation headed up by retiring Republican Congressman Brad Wenstrup, a podiatrist, and Dem ranking member Paul Ruiz, an MD – as in an actual doctor – about how they were either trying to skirt around blaming the Orange God Emperor for the failed response to the crisis that was plainly exacerbated by his panic over his reelection chances being affected or, in the Dems’ case, blaming him correctly.

“Moderate” dipshit Republican New York Marc Molinaro, a former local public health official, acknowledged that the federal government’s response in the early days of the pandemic was “disorganized” but didn’t name Trump specifically. He also hinted that those who did correctly criticize the far bastard don’t actually “understand emergency response in this country,” as if Trump himself had any fucking clue what he was doing. “We have a tendency to say, ‘Pay no attention to all the crisis, all of the problem, all of the undermining that occurred in states like New York and around the country, look over there, Donald Trump said something we don’t like.'”

“We can’t allow ourselves in something like this to let politics take over,” Wenstrup told CNN. “We need to have a group of agnostic people, apolitical people,” he added as if Marjorie Taylor Greene hadn’t had a screaming meltdown at Anthony Fauci. Wenstrup didn’t want to talk about her.
