Sports radio giant Mike Francesa blasts Trump for coronavirus response
The Hill ^ | 3/31/20 | Kaelan Deese

Sports radio giant Mike Francesa blasted President Trump on Monday, criticizing his administration's handling of the coronavirus outbreak and lack of medical equipment in the nation, according to Politico.

The radio host, who came out as a Trump advocate during his 2016 presidential campaign, accused him of not providing enough personal protective equipment, or PPE, to New York City, the epicenter of the U.S. outbreak.

"We're watching one thing happen in our city on the 11 o'clock news every night. We're watching people die, and now we know people who died. And we're not seeing one or two people die now in our neighborhood. We're seeing them die by the tens and twenties by the day," Francesa said.

Francesa referenced MyPillow founder Mike Lindell's appearance during the Monday Rose Garden news briefing, where he gave a speech telling Americans to focus on religion and encouraging people to "get back in the word, read our Bibles and spend time with our families."

Lindell previously pledged to manufacture masks and hospital gowns to donate to hospitals and medical facilities.

"So don't give me the MyPillow guy doing a song-and-dance up here on a Monday afternoon when people are dying in Queens," Francesa added. "Get the stuff made, get the stuff where it needs to go and get the boots on the ground! Treat this like the crisis it is!"

I'm not a sports fan and but this guy's name is vaguely familiar to me.

The story seems to be picking up traction because he was a Trump supporter.

He’s never been a Trump backer. Just another NY leftie.

Loud mouth Mike’s beef is with the mayor and the guv. They failed to have the state prepped for this.

EFFF him... who had a crystal ball. i am sure he blamed Obummer too for not being ahead of H1N1. I am sure he’ll blame Obummer for not leaving behind a stockpile of pandemic supplies for the next guy too, right?

I’ve seen him blast Trump before. First time I’ve heard him called a supporter.

I live in the area where he is listened to on WFAN. I can say that Mike Francesa is more disliked than liked. He is an arrogant arse that rubs his co-workers and listeners the wrong way.

I’m so sick and tired of the complaining.

Can you imagine people whining like this during World War 2? or media people with their hate speech carrying on like they’re doing?

Giant of what?
How many cities, let alone states, let alone countries has this idiotic loudmouth ever run and why should anyone pay any attention to anything he has to say?
