Top Trump admin. and campaign officials try to downplay President Trump's remark that he told advisers to 'slow the testing down, please,' in regards to the coronavirus.

Speaking with"Fox News Sunday," Biden campaign senior adviser Symone Sanders said Trump's"debacle of a rally last night will long be remembered."

"But I think the most damning thing from that rally last night was in fact the president's admission that he said to his people to slow down the testing," she said."This is an appalling attempt to lessen the numbers only to make him look good. So I think that's what will be remembered long after this debacle of a rally. The admission of the president that he slowed testing for his political benefit and not for the American people.

In a Sunday statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Trump's"efforts to slow down desperately needed testing to hide the true extent of the virus mean more Americans will lose their lives." "Even if it were a joke, which it was not, it was an inappropriate joke," she said."Do you think the people, the 120,000 families out there who are missing their loved ones thought it was funny?"

It was a joke - fake news

Joke. Seriously how could you pretend that was serious?

hahaha

From the beginning of 45pp✳️’s reign & regime, We, have mostly, 98.99% of the time, have ever received broken promises & 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥💩, which con-tinues even now. 45pp✳️ & 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥💩 = 115K, 👻💀⚱️⚰️🇺🇸 & still ☝🏻!

No that’s the potus telling the truth n his people walking it back because potus has no understanding of the virus at all

President Trump bragged he 'said to [his] people, slow the testing down.' HHS Secretary Alex Azar,CDC Director Robert Redfield,FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn,NIAID Director Tony Fauci,Surgeon General Jerome Adams need to be called to tell Congress their roles slowing testing down.

It was a joke you damn fool

No need to downplay it, only a lib wouldn’t get it.

NBC still looking for oceanfront property in Arizona.

Tik tok times up

Trump’s supporters are good at translating B*S* to human language.

So Trump lied? Imagine that!

Interesting that NBC isn't able to recognize 'tongue in cheek'... RigidMinds

Bullshit

Why say stupid things like this. A bad joke at best.

Donald Trump Engaging In Hot Pics With Bikini Bystander

Downplay? Nope. The media tried to spin it as a serious remark when it was obviously a joke.

He was as serious as a heart attack.

He said it......he is responsible for all the deaths

What the president meant when he said . . . followed by bullshit.

Hey I didn’t hear you complaining about the spread of Covid-19 during all of the protests.

The old 'He was joking' routine.

Dear lord.

'Tongue in cheek' is just doublespeak for bullshit, or a reckless disregard for the truth.

People should not have to constantly be explaining what the president actually meant to say. If he can not speak for him self he needs to stop talking or except that there will be repercussions for his words.

Enough of the B.S. - Ba Bye.....

In other words: “Trump officials try to spin what they know damn well was a complete disaster for their campaign.”

Trump Supporters: I like him cuz he says what he means! Me: Quotes Trump verbatim. Trump Supporters: THATS NOT WHAT HE MEANT!!!!

Trump officials defend coronavirus testing comments, crowd turnout"Come on now. Come on now. That was tongue in cheek, please," Peter Navarro said. "I know it was tongue in cheek. That&39;s news for you, tongue in cheek." He’s such a jokester. Ya. It was really funny. Ha......ha Last time I checked, it was the states that were in charge of testing and not Trump’s aides. Remember that time when the media made a huge deal about how Trump didn’t have power over the states? You forgot?
