Author Stephen King tried dunking on President Trump during his address at the White House on Friday, but it quickly backfired when his claim about the coronavirus response team was proven wrong.
"Note that Trump’s coronavirus team is all male, all old, and all white," King tweeted during Trump's press conference. The president was in the middle of discussing the pandemic and his declaration of a national emergency.
Behind him stood several members of his coronavirus task force, including Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Administrator Seema Verma, who is neither male nor white.
Just minutes after King's tweet, Dr. Deborah Birx took the podium. Birx, a world-renowned medical expert, was named the White House's coronavirus response coordinator.

Despite his accusations were not correct, my question is even if it is the case, then what??
Why can’t white male be on the task force?
that said, he had some great early works. The Stand still sticks out even before current events. Some of his short-stories (1408, In the Mist, most of the bachman stories) are still pretty clear to me today.
misery and ‘salem’s lot I could have skipped having read. his straight horror apparently doesn’t work for me.
I tweeted him it’s a great theme for a new horror story - not enough qualified people of color/mixed sexes to make up the “proper diversity” to perform critical services, so the White Guys who can do it aren’t allowed and everyone dies...
Yes, though I took it that the squeezing in of the surgeon general and Carsen, as well as Seema to go along with Birx up there for yesterday’s press conference was to provide the optics to counter the charge. You hadn’t seen Carsen up at the podium, let alone carefully placed right behind Trump, before.
