“I think the most damning thing from that rally ... was in fact the president’s admission that he, quote-unquote, said to his people to ‘slow down the testing,’” Sanders said on “Fox News Sunday.” “Well, let me just point out, they say that it was a joke. And it didn’t seem particularly — well, let me just point out, that’s what they said,” Wallace noted.
