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!"

Really? Name 20 of 'em. Lying limo lib.
I never heard of this jock sniffer ahole.
Go away...jack-ass.
Ignorance seems to be catching, and may spread to the general population if drastic action is not forthcoming. Perhaps the Federal Government might fund a project to create an anti-ignorance vaccine.
Estimates are that it will take at least 12 to 18 months until trials are complete. Until then, it is requested that this idiot be isolated in solitary quarantine until at least the infectious period is over, which is indefinite and undetermined at this time.
Take your meds...
By and large sports media types are the biggest Lefties on the planet.
You’re 73 with a lot of life experience?
Apparently not with courtesy, or respecting others, especially any who may not be SI-reading sports nuts like you and therefore not know a particular sports announcer in some other state that YOU know of.
You yourself seem to want others to glow in your knowledge, but seem to be projecting that trait negatively upon others here. You are absolutely right, noob — age does not equal wisdom.
Yup - again, watch what the Democrats do - not what they say.
Theyre trying to Katrina this all over again.
I agree with you. And I am particularly tired of hearing the stories of people who can’t “see” each other for a couple weeks or whatever.
Being the mother of a Marine with Iraq war deployments, I can tell you that I have NO sympathy for those who are “only” able to video chat with their loved one a couple times each day.
And I am sure that it was even worse families of deployed in prior wars, when there were no satellite phones.
Calling this no talent big mouth a “giant” in Sports Radio is laughable. He is nothing more than ANOTHER slimy, obnoxious, loud mouth New Yorker who should blame Cuomo and Wilhelm for failing to prepare NY.
HEY MIKE WHY DIDN’T CUOMO BUY VENTILATORS WHEN HE WAS ADIVISED TO A FEW YEARS AGO?
Dummy Up until you answer this question.
don’t read Si but thanx for the complements. Next. Let’s see iff you will go 0 for 3 or get the next one right.
he was never a Trump supporter
Mike Francesa is a loud mouth. He is not a radio giant....
We’re watching one thing happen in our city on the 11 o’clock news every night.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That’s your problem right there, Mike .... watching what passes for ‘news’ on the TV.
If your job was spent daily commenting on the Mets, Yankees, Jets, Giants, Rangers and Knicks, you’d be an idiot too.
For what its worth, Mike is hardly ever right about anything, just a blow hard who talks like he know what he’s talking about. In the metro area he’s known as a mush, whatever team he takes, you do the opposite and you’ll make bank. If you want a laugh and get a perspective on how often Francesa is wrong, check out Funhouse on Twitter @BackAftaThis - he or she has done an awesome job of documenting his foolishness.
Imus made the guy famous in NY IIRC
OK, so “The Hill” does a story on how some dip shit radio sports mouth doesn’t like Trump.
Yeah, OK, whatever......
Who’s next, Pee-Wee Herman?
Yes Who is this guy?
