Today, Protect Our Care’s Coronavirus War Room released a new video as the United States suffers the deadliest day of the pandemic, record-breaking hospitalizations, and uncontrolled spread in nearly every state.
In addition to the video, Protect Our Care’s Coronavirus War Room Director Zac Petkanas released the following statement:
“The Trump Administration has completely surrendered any leadership or effort to combat the spread of this virus. While doctors, nurses, first responders, and frontline workers battle the worst surges this country has experienced so far, Donald Trump and his cronies are partying away the holiday season.
“Their reckless, irresponsible, and callous behavior is an insult to everyone who has dealt with the fallout of their failures. Not only are they throwing dirt in the face of the American people struggling to make it through this crisis, they’re actively working to leave the incoming Biden Administration and state and local jurisdictions with the worst possible situation.
“From the start, Donald Trump has downplayed the danger of this virus, and now on his temper-tantrum fueled way out the door, he’s determined to leave death and destruction in his wake.”
The video highlights the severity of the current outbreak, which is worse in nearly every metric than anything the country has experienced so far during this crisis: the deadliest single day with more than 3,100 Americans dying over 24 hours, hospitalizations skyrocketing and surpassing 100,000, and more than 4 million new infections in November alone.
It then highlights the hypocrisy of the Trump Administration moving forward with a full schedule of maskless, indoor holiday parties while their own public health experts and doctors around the country beg Americans to cancel plans and stay safe.
The video will be shared with constituents of key Republican Senators, including those in tight runoff races in Georgia, who are closing ranks to block meaningful COVID relief efforts and turning a blind eye to the dangerous and potentially deadly actions of the outgoing Trump Administration.
