Kayleigh, thanks so much. I want to ask you about the FDA guidance on Abbott tests. But firstly, you know, you’ve talked about all of this preparation that the Trump administration did, but then how come on January 2020, the Stockpile was as low as it was on supplies like facemasks, like N95s?
MS. MCENANY: Yeah, it’s a really good question. It’s a really important question. And perhaps I should redirect your question to President Obama, who left the Stockpile empty. And there was a USA Today fact check of that. He left the cupboards bare, as the President noted. And USA Today said there’s no indication that the Obama administration took significant steps to replenish the supply of N95 masks in the Strategic National Stockpile after it was depleted from repeated crises.
So, at H1N1, it was full; at the end of H1N1, it was empty. And President Obama left it empty, and it took President Trump to refill it.
Obama’s administration was a terrible failure. He didn’t do one thing to help ordinary WORKING folks.
