In regards to the markets tumbling, Mulvaney quipped that what he 'might do today [to] calm the markets is tell people turn their televisions off for 24 hours.'

During a particularly heated exchange with Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., the congressman asked Pompeo if he believes"the coronavirus is a hoax," alluding to Mulvaney's comments."I'm not going to comment on what others are saying," Pompeo responded."I'm just telling you what the secretary of State is doing."

"It's not even a gotcha question. Do you believe the coronavirus is a hoax?" Lieu continued to press after multiple back-and-forth exchanges.Lieu then pressed the secretary on whether he would be speaking at CPAC later, where Mulvaney had made the earlier remarks.

“This is a government-wide effort, and so I think folks are going to look at that and say, you know what, he was doing his job very well.

Lol Dontlookethel

Propaganda much?

Shut down electronic trading until we have a hold on COVID-19 and the media starts positive reporting.

Mulvaney had his chance of being a American patriot but blew it during the impeachment process. These people in Trumps administration are worthless. Your not able to trust anything that comes out of this WH.

DBChirpy when people are dying from this virus they will not be watching tv. Will not change that Trump cut CDC 2 yrs ago and he will be blamed for citizens deaths Tanking of the markets is under his watch.

24 hours? 😂😂😂 If its 'news', turn it off forever. If it's a music or sporting event, eh, 24/7.

Turn them off until November is more like it .

Do people in China, Japan, and South Korea, have to turn off the sets too?

Incompetent Dangerous 🤬🤢🤮

No investor would ever turn their tv off for 24 hours, nor ignore other MSM news outlets. Mulvaney's saying, 'Don't do your own due diligence. Listen to Trump!'

True words. People need to calm the f*** down and the 24/7 media doesn’t help that

Bury your heads in the sand.. great idea.. that way you won’t see the data about the 11 new cases in San Antonio.. nothing to see here.

Good idea!

The Trump method of curing the coronavirus problem. Throw a huge dose of politics at it.

All entrants to the country should be quarantined for 14 days in hotels that the government should pay for, and test all on day 1 and 14. That itself will deter unnecessary travel.

Am Really scare !!!!🤐🤐🤐

Great idea...

Americans don’t have to do that because they know what the msms are doing and aren’t fooled...

Not acceptable.. Mulvaney is admitting the administration can't handle the matter and would rather kite hippie mantras of 'kill your tv' than put forth even a dud option to be proven wrong. GetOutOfTheTreeFortYouFknIdiot . M Bench eugeneweekly

We don't think it will bring Trump down, we KNOW it will!

Ignorance is not bliss in today's world!

Yea all the peasants watching TV and then selling off all their stocks....

How about just “go your job”

How very China of him.

Yeah, that’ll help.....

Who watches TV what is this 2001

These people are dumber than stumps. Who else would work for Trump? TrumpSlump

He thinks people watch tv?

It’s going to get Mulvaney with HolyJoePence in charge pumping out fake news.

Head in sand?

I'm no fan of the 'television', but Mulvaney is ranting here

It’s Friday dumb shit
