No, not Sean Hannity. Trump could mail out smallpox blanketsĀ in Swiss Colony cheese boxes and Hannity would scoldĀ us for not being grateful.
Itās New York sportscaster Mike Francesa, who is seeing this American carnage up close and went on a righteous tirade on Monday:
āWeāre watching one thing happen in our city on the 11 oāclock news every night. Weāre watching people die, and now we know people who died. And weāre not seeing one or two people die now in our neighborhood. Weāre seeing them die by the tens and twenties by the day.ā
…āSo donāt give me the MyPillow guy doing a song-and-dance up here on a Monday afternoon when people are dying in Queens. Get the stuff made, get the stuff where it needs to go, and get the boots on the ground! Treat this like the crisis it is!ā
In response to Trumpās suggestion that the media should look into the baseless and preposterous theory thatĀ health care workers are stealing vital medical supplies, Francesca lit into IMPOTUS:
āYou go investigate that! You have your military, your FEMA investigate that! Thatās your job! Youāre in charge of this! If this is a war, theyāre stealing your supplies, what do you do? You tell the media to go investigate it? What, and get back to you in six weeks or two months, as more people die on a daily basis? Thatās whatās wrong here. Thereās a disconnect.ā
As for Trumpās suggestion that his administration will have done a good job if the final death toll is between 100,000 and 200,000, Francesca wasnāt having it:
āHow can you have a scoreboard that says 2,000 people have died and tell us, āItās OK if another 198,000 die, thatās a good jobā?Ā How is that a good job in our country? Itās a good job if nobody else dies! Not if another 198,000 people die! So now 200,000 people are disposable?ā
Francesca was an early supporter of Trumpās, going back to spring 2016.
Sure sounds like heās not a supporter anymore.
Itās probably significant that Francesca is in New York, the state thatās been the hardest hit so far. If other states follow suit, we may see Trumpās base ofĀ support begin to go away in April, with the heat.
