Protect Our Care’s Coronavirus War Room Zac Petkanas released the following statement after the United States surpassed 175,000 deaths.
“The United States remains the deadliest place in the world during this pandemic and Donald Trump bears the heavy responsibility for every single death.
“While countries around the world work diligently to protect the lives of their citizens, 175,000 Americans have lost theirs simply because Donald Trump has failed to take even the most basic steps to protect this nation. At every turn he’s made this pandemic worse by downplaying the danger of the virus, undermining his own experts, and causing more outbreaks and deaths by pushing states and schools to reopen before it is safe.
“Rather than address the anguish felt by hundreds of thousands who’ve lost loved ones to his botched response – Trump merely shrugs off responsibility with an apathetic and disgustingly cavalier ‘it is what it is.’
“Donald Trump has failed the American people and we have the death toll to show for it.”
