GOP Sen.: Obama ‘Failed’ on Ebola but Trump’s Stepped Up With COVID-19

Sen. Joni Ernst , when confronted with her previous criticisms of then-President Barack Obama’s handling of the Ebola outbreak in 2014, claimed on Sunday morning that President Donald Trump is “stepping forward” in his response to the coronavirus pandemic that’s now killed 130,000 Americans.

Interviewing the Iowa senator on CNN’s State of the Union, host Dana Bash brought up Ernst’s past comments on Obama’s Ebola response and asked if she would use the same words to describe how Trump has handled COVID-19. Ernst, who is currently facing a tough re-election race, largely avoided the CNN host’s question, instead saying that everyone has “responsibility in stopping the spread” while somewhat downplaying the surge of coronavirus cases in her state by noting they’ve seen “one additional death” in Iowa in the past 24 hours.

The Republican lawmaker, however, took the opportunity to heap praise on the Trump administration for its response to the public health crisis while seemingly placing the blame on Democrats for any shortfalls.

Ernst is a Rino! Big talk to get elected and then turned into a semi-Democrat swamp rat!

Ebola on Obama's watch is 11 Americans infected and 2 death. How ls that a failure? Less deaths in other countries to boot, without a single country shutdown or economic woes. Not calling it a hoax and taking responsibility Obama did way far better than Trump. No comparison.

Lol... the GOP is amoral and anti-American 🤷🏼‍♂️

🤦🏽‍♀️.....😂😂😂😂😂😂

Joni Ernst makes me sick. On November 3rd:

No CCP, No Covid-19

Obama certainly didn’t failed Ebola outbreak, 11 cases reported and two deaths in the US. COVID-19 pandemic, this President has certainly failed.

Stepped up on his old wooden ladder with missing rungs? Metaphor

Really hmmmm so far I haven’t seen anything of What Trump has done on the Virus. More people have died to this Virus and more that Trump ignored the warnings. It’s all about Trump himself and not the people. Wake Up America. Lives Matters. truth Matters not lies from Trump

Is she crazy or high on drugs?!

Until you stop comparing and competing with Obama era you are going nowhere Remember before Obama there was Bush and global meltdown so don't base your success on Obama alone

Is she serious, are we on the same planet? What alternate planet are these people on man, smdh.

If you continue to support this, you are a danger to your country and your fellow Americans.

She is trash

That’s a fact.

How many people were infected with Ebola in the US at that point in time?

What? HOW? Is she mentally ill?

She's 100% Correct!

Does she write for 'The Onion'?

Clue here: CNN & after that it’s all fake!

Absolutely delusional

You can't make this shit up.
