Former Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) predicted the moment that may come to define President Donald Trumps haphazard and widely criticized response to the coronavirus crisis.
Jolly, speaking to MSNBCs Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday, likened Trumps February claim that the number of cases in the U.S. would soon fall from 15 to close to zero to President George W. Bushs misguided 2005 assertion that then-FEMA chief Michael Brown was doing a heck of a job tackling fallout from Hurricane Katrina.
More than 1,000 people in the U.S. have now been sickened by the coronavirus outbreak. It has killed 31 people nationwide.
It was that moment where he cant take it back, said Jolly, a GOP member of Congress from 2014 to 2017.

We have surely lost our way in this country and I no longer believe we are a country of laws. The law only applies to the plebians.
