Thats what terrorists say

(LAURA) Are you surprised at how wildly partisan a

response to this pandemic has become in the United States. I know everything's

political, but this is about saving lives and saving the broader life of America

and yet from drug-like hydroxychloroquine that's been around

for 65 years, 70 years, to other measures the Presidents taken working with

Democrat governors quite well looks like it never seems to be good enough.

(BARR) No, I have been surprised at it, in fact there's

very disappointing, because I think, the president went out at the beginning of

this thing and, and really was Statesmen-like trying to bring people

together, working with all the governors, keeping his patience as he got

these snarky gotcha questions from the White House media pool, and the stridency

of the partisan attacks on him has gotten higher and higher and it's really

disappointing to see. And the politicization of decisions like the

hydroxychloroquine has been amazing to me. Before the president said anything

about it there was fair and balanced coverage of this very promising drug and

the fact that it had such a long trackrecord, that the risks were pretty well

known, and as soon as he said somethingpositive about it the media's been on a

jihad to discredit the drug. It's quite strange.
