"His refusal to get testing up and running, his flip-flopping on social distancing and wearing masks. His delusional belief that he knows better than the experts. All of that is the reason and the reason an American dies of Covid-19 every 80 seconds," she said.The U.S.

Hey she’s kin to slave owner

Shrs correct t

Whoopsie

Lies, but then again, looking back on her track record, all she does is lie

That's also what governors and mayors are for..they could have acted..every state must have a COOP that should be updated..lot's of blame to go around and the citizens should carry the burden for still not social distancing and wearing masks..

Internal matter

What else

45% of us are obese, 45% are deficient in vitamin D, 11% have diabetes.

B.S. as usual. And P.H.D.'d!

Liar.....Kamala is off to an expected start. Kamala....go back and look on the WEB and read all of the Democratic trashing of Trump for alarming everyone. Remember NYC, California and Pelosi-Schumer blew him off. So did Biden. SHAME on YOU. And you could be our President !

Trump2020

spilledMilk let’s hear the plans to fix it KamalaHarris instead of just pointing fingers and stating “it’s his fault” whereAreThePoliticians

Imagine if Trump didn't freeze visas for Chinese visitors! They wouldn't have the guts to that so imagine how much worse it would have been!

That is true.

I can not even imagine the bs response that would have occurred with the dems...they would not have partnered with all the 'evil' capitalist companies, therefore, many more would be dead. Also, America why virus so bad in US? WE ARE THE FATTEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET.

This woman is insincere

Let the horses run free.. she will eat him alive

No he didn't. He shut down flights from China and Biden called him a racist for it lol. What a joke

This outbreak is also China’s fault as well. Not all of it can be blamed on a single person.

I seem to remember an impeachment distraction when the virus came

HolmesCarolyn23 Blah, blah, blah. He stopped travel while Dems partied in China Town. He told them not to put sick people in nursing homes so they did. He sent ships/pop up hospitals which weren’t needed b/c hospitals werent overrun. He touted a cure which Dems blocked. Dems blew it.

This Democrat's are not just serious the did not blame China it's now Trump

CNBiasC Forgets to mention that Pelosi went to China town and encouraged people to congregate there during the outbreak with the NYC health official doing the same there too. Short term memory loss

Well, we literally have the worst response of any developed country. There are a lot of things Trump could have done and he did very little unless it was something he could personally benefit from.

What a liar she is.

Did you know Kamala has Chinese name '賀夢麗', she and Beijing Biden try to blame other of 🇨🇳 China CCP's COVID19 bio warefare attack on America.

The democrats were wasting trump time on an unproven hoax at that time. Devious tactic of the democrats colluded with CCP!

Thanks to the advice from fauci and WHO which later found out to be colluded with CCP, the one who release the virus to the world!

What was Kamala and the Trojan horse doing to help?

Really?!?! Pelosi told everyone to meet her in SF Chinatown, and visit SF Chinatown after Trump BANNED travelers from China.

Clueless Kamala

Cop Kamala was REJECTED by democrats -- specifically millions of Black democrats -- in the primaries, where she barely got 2% of the vote.

Democrats talk but Trump moved mountains— hospitals to hot spots, cut off travel and had to move respirator manufacturing to the US. He activated FEMA for testing - any problems look to where we got medical equipment, medicine and PPE/ China. Many governors failed

Trump worked miracles but never got credit. I worked Pandemic 2003 and 2009 - it barely made the news but we quarantined pilots re-entering the USA from China.

That was the Democratic Party ma’am

Is your California government the worst? Remember the marathon?

Which is patently false

It's almost September and you are still blaming realDonaldTrump for covid19 lol. People stopped caring. I'm seating in a Starbucks drinking coffee typing this. Don't worry my mask is in my pocket👍

The campaign is on. Trump likes a street fight - he's got one now.

He responded quick and you called him racist

Oh please nice try!

President Trump took the virus seriously at the start. What he didn't take seriously was the MSM fear mongering, which they still do.

100% true, sadly. On feb 28, he called this a HOAX. 3 weeks later the entire country started shutting down. If we listened to science back in Jan when we were made aware, this entire thing unfolds differently. That’s a failure in leadership. Plain and simple.

I Wish One Day Democrats And Republicans Will Stop PointingThe Finger At Each Other. But Actually Fix And Solve Problems!! wehaverealissues weneedrealleadership

That was because he was told by the experts so-called experts at the who there was no problem it's The who and China's fault this thing started

Is Biden asleep in the background?

This is like 95% Trump's fault. Prove me wrong

Completely accurate..

Heels Up!

I remember when Democrats were slamming Trump for shutting down air travel w/ China saying it was unnecessary. LOL!!

She’s so relevant now.

No one listens, now Floridians are going to have to do what a Sheriff says not our medical professionals. Harris is no professional or she could understand.

KamalaHarris Jamaican ancestors...direct family....were major slave owners. So much for the IdentityPolitics jamaicanfrigility

Wouldn't have made a difference because people just don't listen.

But her state has been 1 of the worst.

🤣🤣oh ok. She proves once again what a complete partisan hack she is

Congress missed their moment because they were dragging the country thru a BS impeachment.

Hey Joe Biden, I see they gave you an iPhone ... you need to turn it right side up! Yeah, just what we need, a president who doesn’t know up from down... oh boy ! We’re in big trouble!

The social conditioning narrative that it's all Trumps fault and not China that unleashed the virus. Great media trick 😑

U mean when he cut off travel from china while u and others in congress were trying to impeach him?

Hey Joe, I see they gave you an iPhone ... you need to turn it right side up! Yeah, just what we need, a president who doesn’t know up from down... oh boy ! We’re in big trouble!

Thank you dems for picking Kamela

She is correct

so typical!! obiden is racist!! that's obvious!!!

ComeOnMan Wtf is KamalaHarris talking about He did take it seriously! realDonaldTrump started to close Chinese flights back in February and everyone gave him shit!! Especially SpeakerPelosi SleepyJoeAndTheHoe2020 chinajoe SleepyJoe willybrownharris

Democrats tried to reverse his travel ban - so explain to me how he didn’t take it seriously. Seems the other way around.

Biden said Harris is good at governing. Really! Where did she govern?

Biden was in the basement hiding like a rat. Trump was out front of the China virus. He was called racist in Jan for banning flights from China to USA. Unfortunately, China let passenger out all over the world prior to telling WHO and no PR. Obama adm. didn’t build up supplies.

davegreenidge57 Aaaaaand she'd be 100% correct. Don't try to rewrite history magats. Trump failed us 'tremendously'

davegreenidge57 Shes right

if YOU do not know this, you are stupider than your friends say you are

A great opportunity for an overly ambitious VP to increase incarceration rates indiscriminately.

Nice picture of Joe Hiden in the background.

Does anyone doubt that statement?

What would DrJoJorgenson say

The Dnc is a disgrace. Cuomo, Newsom killed the people. F her and her slave owning relatives.

cnbc more lies from the dems

Yes we all know and have known this KamalaHarris . Now we have a hole to dig out of as a result. It will take the efforts of both the government and private sectors to accomplish this goal.

Obama oppressed this country for eight years while he worried about iran. He is an enemy of this country.

Damn right. Sic him.

And this shows exactly why.

BORING!!! Let’s get it with another Trump Rally!! TRUMP2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Lol!! trump did not cause this China ,Gates ,fauci ,Obama the WHO is to blame

Is this the best you got pam..

The truth hurts

Coming in hot with the lies, nothing she said was accurate. Dirtball!

How come all the politicians become so shameless nowadays

Grandpa Joe, get used to taking that back seat.

Did they ever hear of China🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

D E M O C R A T S failed to take it seriously from the start. MORE LIES. kamala

and you did?

Shut down travel from China in January

Oh please, where's the fact check CNBC? He stopped travel from China and Biden said he was racist

I dare anyone to tell me how C19 was Trump's fault. I'll wait.

The person who has hard time to make a sentence complete now has someone to talk on behalf of him. Who is the president candidate? Someone is trying to steal the election!

How does continue to peddle this garbage? What a joke these two are...

When will JoeBiden actually have a live press conference and field questions instead of reading prepared speeches from a teleprompter?

And she’s right. Trump still hasn’t taken it seriously after 164k dead Americans since March

she is an idiot and that statement alone proves it. TRUMP 2020

That’s true. That’s what you get from a narcissistic, don’t listen to anybody, nepotism wielding, let’s blame others, keep rich rich, racist.

Phony .. just like the corrupt media puppets that are kissing her a$! now.

Of course! Same way he incarcerated thousands of African Americans in California over the years for crimes as little as 'smoking pot'. Orange man bad!

Get him!

That is a big lier Who treated to do that Trump failure were the demócrats cuz they made up about racism on floy. And the demócrats paid to ANTIFA to create caos and call people to do disturbs in Washington. 😡😡

That’s just not true. He was called a racists when he banned travel from China 🇨🇳 lol....

She is another socialist with nasty idea she should blame china for spread of the virus in the world , Same china paid Biden's drug addicts son millions of dollar .

Tired of fingerpointing from elected officials. It is clear that all levels of govt were unprepared for a pandemic. Only states had authority to issue closure orders (as they made clear). Blaming Trump is ludicrous. And Dem govs in NY, NJ, CT, RI, and MA plainly mishandled. /1

Still trump does not care

Actually he restricted travel from affected countries and you said it was a bad move.

Because of such irresponsible statements she would make Joe Biden loose the entire election

Except he banned china and you called him racist.

Only an idiot believes that

😂😂😂 this is so funny

He took it very seriously. Just in terms of theft and profit.

I heard a lot of 💩 talk most of it either untrue or very exaggerated

Like banning travel from China. And democrats called him a racist for doing so.

She’s right too. He still doesn’t give a damn

I never predicted she would have said that next thing she's going to say is he's responsible for race relations being bad

FAX !!!

Define exactly how

And she’s right

He missed a couple rounds of golf, and that is it.

She's not alone

Team Trump struggles to define Kamala HarrisIf the last 24 hours is any indication, the president’s reelection campaign has yet to settle on a coherent strategy to counter Joe Biden’s vice presidential pick. She's just another Fracking Monster like JoeBiden. Her state is literally on fire where all the below fracking locations are and she just lets everything burn. No they aren't. She's a childless hag who wants to end private health insurance, ban fracking and force taxpayers to pay for illegal alien's healthcare. She's another fraud who pretends that she's going to fight systemic racism when in actuality her grandfather was a slave owner in Jamaica.

Trump donated to Kamala Harris twice as private citizen: NBC News - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Yeah. Because he’s a NY Democrat. He is a liberal New Yorker and a change agent to destroy what's left of nationalism, so the demoralized voters will vote for whoever the globalists want. He should write her another check now
