Mike Huckabee: Pence is right choice to lead coronavirus response – Democrats wrong to launch political attack
Fox News ^ | February 27, 2020 | Mike Huckabee

Posted on 02/27/2020 4:28:54 PM PST by jazusamo

The Democrats just can’t seem to help themselves. Even in the midst of a bona fide public health crisis involving the coronavirus, all they’re doing is second-guessing President Trump and trying to stoke hysteria in order to score political points.

The entire country should have found it reassuring when the president appointed Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday to coordinate the Trump administration's coronavirus response efforts.

Pence has direct experience with this type of work, having overseen Indiana’s public health system as governor in 2014 when the first U.S. case of the MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) virus emerged in that state. He’s also a proven leader who knows how to get people with different perspectives working together effectively.

MERS is also a form of coronavirus, but far deadlier than the one we’re currently battling, which is called COVID-19. Fortunately, the MERS virus was effectively contained, just as COVID-19 will be.

Instead of calling for bipartisan cooperation in this life-or-death effort, liberals reacted with collective outrage, even going so far as to ridicule the vice president’s Christian faith as a way of suggesting that he’s not qualified for the role of coordinating America’s response to the new coronavirus.

Numerous media outlets have also published and broadcast one-sided reports trashing Pence’s handling of an HIV outbreak as governor of Indiana, but such criticisms are both inaccurate and irrelevant.

While liberal activists claim that the Pence administration in Indiana was too slow to implement needle exchange programs, the state health commissioner at the time had a very different assessment, praising Pence for deftly navigating the complicated politics of that issue while providing funding for HIV screening and substance abuse treatment.

I can’t believe the liberals would want to politicize a public health matter, which is potentially more serious than we realize.

You would swear they want to see a pandemic, so they can make a political statement.

Just like liberals to attack that which confounds them knowing nothing about anything.

“Just like liberals to attack that which confounds them knowing nothing about anything.”

In dogs, this is called “fear-biting”.

I fully agree.

Their willingness to do this at a time like this is demonic.

It makes no sense, especially after their many failures to libel and slander President Trump.

Come November they’re going to pay a very big price in my view, one they won’t recover from for many years.

At this point, I’m sorry, it’s treason, and I am going to treat the Democrats as traitors.

Remember, these same rat jackasses who say Trump didn’t do anything are the ones who have tried to freeze the Trump administration for the past 9 months in Shampeachment. As Greta would say, put them up against the wall.

Added the emphasis because that is some fine poetry, ma'am   :-)

Like those who were causing trouble for Moses being constant irritants the ground opened up and swallowed them in. Oh for such a Biblical encore for these nasty cretins of the left.

I don’t recall any push back when Obama named Biden to head the research
on the cure for cancer.

Reddit was full of mocking “Pence is going to pray to Jesus to stop Coronavirus” posts yesterday and today.

Liberals are so tolerant and anti-bullying. Trust me, they told me so.
