The decision will help those who are deaf or hard of hearing "make better decisions on how to stay safe from the pandemic," said National Association of the Deaf CEO Howard A. Rosenblum.
The White House must provide sign language interpreters at public Covid-19 briefings, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday. "Closed captioning and transcripts may constitute a reasonable accommodation under some circumstances, but not here," the courtPressure from advocacy groups and other independent federal agencies grew as the White House coronavirus task force briefings continued without interpreters. The National Council on Disability released a
This has been the law for decades, why doesn't Trump ever follow the law
Select cc choose language...read. no interpreter needed.
Isn't trump the sign language interpreter? Here's my accordion (both hands out and in), this is what that amusement park ride is like up and down then over (coronavirus will disappear), my IQ is 2 (silencing people) .
There are covid-19 briefings?
I would be freaking grateful if I never had to hear him again. What is the sign for LIE?
They had to SUE? Really? They had to SUE? You’d think all they’d have to do is ASK. Sheesh.
Why did this have to go to court to happen?
How is this not already in place and why was a judge involved? realDonaldTrump and his administration is the most offensive affront to all that is decent, human and kind. VoteHimOut2020
Best comments.
WH must provide sign language interpreters - they'll want to be using the middle index a lot
Misspelled. I mean sarahcpr Hands down.
Have the mask wearers not figured it out yet?
Have one at the debates. That'd be hilarious if Biden even shows
And a judge had to order this 🤦♂️
Seriously
About time. Can’t wait to watch this! Should be interesting.
See kellyanne had a job
I feel so sorry for the person that has to try and sign one of his rambling nonsensical spewfests.
The sign language for Trump is just a middle finger.
That will be hard, the amount of bs Donny spews, will be difficult to translate.
All they’ll have to do is stand there and give everyone the finger.
Trump will call them deaf losers. 🤨
The interpreter during briefings:
The poor interpreters.
Don't make the hearing impaired suffer!!!
GOOD! It will be funny to watch the ASL interpreter try to sign Trump language. God bless whoever get this gig.
A federal judge had to urge Trump admin. to do this!! Incredible how far we have fallen.
Finally!
PeterAlexander I wonder if you really believe have the sht you report. Your a big reason why 80% of the people don’t trust you or the media!!!!!
PeterAlexander About time though I pity the poor interpreter
Can you imagine having to interpret his insane ramblings in sign language. Someone who is hearing impaired that has never heard Trump speak, will think the interpreter is on drugs. LockHimUp
PeterAlexander Next up, caption your (Trump) stupid videos!!
Wanted ASL translator: proficiency in quick transitions from medical jargon and figures to braggadocious dishonest toddler preferred.
How exactly does one sign gibberish?
PeterAlexander If COVID-19 briefings were the truth it makes sense. But why allow a sign language interpreter to lie to the deaf or hard of hearing people.
PeterAlexander About time.
PeterAlexander They will get a fake one.
Wouldn't want to be the person that has to interpret Trump's gibberish.
Trump removed POW/MIA flag a couple of weeks ago from atop the WH (it’s back after an outcry). He doesn’t want anyone around that is sick or disabled. He has said that Americans don’t want to “see that” What’s next
PeterAlexander Footage of Trump’s signer
PeterAlexander I feel bad for the ASL interpreter
RhondaPhears The GOP doesn't care if we see what they are doing in broad daylight, why would they care if you can 'hear' it?
PeterAlexander Like this?
mchamplin1 Of course. Law of the land.
PeterAlexander They don’t care
You could probably hire the one that works for Biden. She’d appreciated the easier work..lol
PeterAlexander The president doesn’t know jack about the Americans with disabilities act!
PeterAlexander They're better of without that 'advice'
PeterAlexander They probably should at all the press briefings.
Must federal judge rules over everything to be done
PeterAlexander What is ASL for 'Nothing To See Here' or 'Poof'?
The WH fought this because he still had the deaf vote
What a joke.
It's gonna be really hard to sign at the pace to keep up with the BS.
About damn time.
