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!"

Hell, I was a force once, back in the day. 3-sport varsity GIANT, I tell ya'. If you didn't know who I was, you weren't from my around my block.

Hes famous for falling asleep while on air. Google it
Trump supporter? He was pushing Mike Bloomberg as his favorite candidate when I was in the NYC area back in February.
Antisenite who blamed 9/11 on Israel.... Once heard him do an interview with Lawrence Taylor shortly after Obama got elected, and he was asking Taylor just how much he loved Obama
Never heard of him.
Is it bad to be out of touch in sports?
only on a sports thread darlin
He should maybe know who to blame before he starts blaming.
Mike Franceser (Parody Twitter page)
Someone with a lot of time on his hands set up this Twitter page and posts regularly on it ... posting exact quotes from Francesa's daily radio show.
The thing is, he posts the quotes phonetically in Francesa's heavy New York accent (hence the "Franceser" name), so sometimes you have to read it several times before you understand what he's saying.
"There might be moah people in an elevatah in New Yawk City dan a thousand squah miles in Why O Ming."
"Join me - da spawts pope - holdin church on Sundays. I get youah da spawts any way dat I can even when there are no spawts."
LMAO!!!
Who gives a rats backside what some sportscaster thinks. One of the many problems with media types is they think theyre far more important than they actually are. And they confuse a job In front of a microphone with the ability to think. The people who pick up the garbage are a thousand times more important than some radio dickhead. And probably a lot smarter too.
“Is it bad to be out of touch in sports?”
You mean watching grown men get filthy rich playing with a ball with other grown men?
And listening to grown men that get wealthy talking about the grown men that get filthy rich playing with a ball with other grown men?
And paying more for products because of their high priced ads on sports programs?
And following the criminal antics of the tattooed thugs in sports?
And knowing all about player and team stats, schedules, coaching, odds and picks, but knowing squat about their childrens’ schools, teachers, curriculum, principals or school board?
That?
What exactly are the blowhards on sports talk radio doing these days? Lots of empty air to fill everyday with no results to report.
“according to Politico”, it says in The Hill. what do you expect?
How come I have NEVER HEARD OF “Sports radio giant” Mike Francesa?
