MSNBC Dumps Trump Coronavirus Briefing To Do Live Fact Check Of Lies

From the article:

MSNBC cut away from Trump’s coronavirus briefing to do a live fact check of several lies told by Trump and Steve Mnuchin about the availability of COVID-19 stimulus.
As Trump was promising immediate money to get businesses back up and running, Chuck Todd broke in and went to Stephanie Ruhle for a fact check.
Ruhle said:
He said this is up and running tomorrow. You can call any FDIC bank. That’s not true. You’re only allowed to apply from this loan for your existing bank. From someone, you have a relationship with. I know they are making this sound very cut and dry and clear but the banking industry is one of the most highly regulated industries there are. There are huge anti-money laundering and know your customer issues.

Trump cannot get out and do his silly rallies, and he is so desperate for attention, that he feels this is a good substitute. He is useless at this point, having nothing to offer, so these virtual rallies are all that he can do.

Just to see how long CBS keeps it on. They never show the whole thing.
