Don’t worry, it happens all the time when I look at Latest Threads in reverse chronological order. I’m guessing orange foolius said this at his latest presser.

A reporter asked if he took any responsibility for the slow reaction of the federal government, since he fired the White House pandemic response team that Obama had put in place- and left the positions unfilled for more than two years.

“I don’t take responsibility at all.”


(That seems to be the mantra of his entire Presidency)

It was so loud in my head. He has never in his entire life taken responsibility for anything at all, it's all everyone else's fault. Some people in his administration did that, he doesn't know why and didn't know about it. Total attempt at ass covering lie. He already said in an interview last week that he cut the pandemic prevention team because 'they weren't needed and so why should I pay them?"

Trump denied that there was a potential problem on the horizon and delayed implementing means that were necessary to limit the spread. He waited until the cat was out of the bag before doing anything. He inability to accept the council of people who understood the magnitude of the potential problem is criminal. With his "hunch" that this thing was overblown, the American people got "hunched."

He is personally responsible for the scale of this problem in the U.S. He will be responsible for the shutdown of our normal activities, he will be responsible for the economic disaster, and he will be responsible for people's deaths.

The gross mishandling of the response, when time was critical, happened on his watch, he is responsible. This crisis required quick, intelligent and diligent actions, instead we got a Trump reaction, now we begin to reap the results of his failures.

It remains to be seen whether the people of the country will hold him personally responsible.

IMHO Anthony "Tony" Fauci loses credibility by participating in the charade.

How are they any different than the getaway driver in a bank robbery? People have died and will die because of the actions (lack of) Trump.

many times are incapable of realizing they're implicated, mainly because they're incapable of independent thought. Then there's the Pence types, who signed a pact with the devil and realize they have no where else to go. They will all be nothing but historical pariahs once this is all done.
