Pence bars coronavirus task force members from appearing on CNN: report

( Crazy people our running the country. )

By Joe Concha - 04/09/20 02:57 PM EDT


Vice President Pence's office has barred members of the coronavirus task force from appearing on CNN for the past week, according to a CNN report.

The contention appears to stem from CNN not carrying portions of the daily White House coronavirus task force briefings, including some question and answer sessions with top medical members including Anthony Fauci, an epidemiologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Deborah Birx, a physician coordinating the White House response to the virus.

"When you guys cover the briefings with the health officials then you can expect them back on your air," a Pence spokesperson told CNN.

Does Joseph Goebbels know about this? He would be most interested.

This has to be made into a feature article for the Popular Dictator's Association Magazine. It should be a real hit. I hear the subscribers have a real hoot about Don and his gang.

Oh...he's dead.
