Sen. Lindsey Graham dismissed criticism of President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, adding that it’s “pissing a lot of people off.”
“Well, number one, Mr. President, the American people understand what you’ve done for them, and this effort to destroy Trump no matter the cost of the country is getting a bit old, and it’s pissing a lot of people off,” the South Carolina Republican said on Fox News. “I think the president has made really hard calls well, and we’re going to be well below the 100,000 minimum expected, and it’s due to his leadership and the American people working together.”
“People are dying right now, and this president is doing everything humanly possible to work with anybody that will work with him.”
Recent polling showed that most voters favor President Trump to lead them through the pandemic crisis rather than former Vice President Joe Biden, and that 51% of voters believe Trump is “producing results” with his response.
Despite those numbers, media personalities have continued to question whether Trump acted quickly enough on the virus and label him racist for pointing out the pandemic originated in China.
