An official from President Trump's campaign was called out live on the air by one CNN anchor for "doing a real disservice" to Americans.
CNN's Brianna Keilar spoke to Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh on Tuesday afternoon in what turned out to be quite a heated conversation. Early on she blasted him for "lying" about the national stockpile and went on to describe the administration's "failure" on COVID-19 testing.
Keilar continued to fact-check Murtaugh throughout the conversation, which went even more off the rails after the topic turned to hydroxychloroquine, the malaria drug Trump has pushed as a potential treatment for COVID-19.
"It kills people, Tim," Keilar told Murtaugh.

If it was anywhere close to what they claim, he would have doctors and nurses praising him in a few days. All kinds of success stories. He might finally be right about something. That not happening tells you he knows it doesn't work.

I fucking hate trumpers!
