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!"

So let’s see. The system was already broken and not set up to handle something like this. The administration has started from nothing to get where they have.
Now let’s see this Monday morning sportscaster do better.
Radio GIANT!
BLASTED!
WOW!
Governments aren’t perfect. Who knew?
I have some complaints, but I do believe Trump and his team
have done everything possible to address this virus.
If this loud mouth had been in charge, there would be many
people trashing him and his team.
At some point you have to grow up, and accept that people in
charge are doing the best they can.
If Trump had been suspect on everything else, perhaps I’d
be suspect of him now.
I trust him now because he has earned it.
At this point, he’ll always have it even if he does make a
few mistakes.
He’s human.
Mike and the Mad Dog sports duo at one time we’re a force back in the day. Today Mike has that arrogant know it all New York attitude.
Wow! when you have lost Mike Francesa you have probably lost.....uhhh no one outside of New York City.
A giant in his own mind. Never heard of the dick.
Are you a comedian, NOOB?
I don’t get “sports radio”. Men talking about other men, all the time.
Hey! Another Poly!
criticizing his administration’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak and lack of medical equipment in the nation,
‘Hooboy. If Trump loses the mega-giant commentators on the Farm Report, it’s all over.’
ha ha ha...
Radio Giant? What’s that? Who?
The madness of these times...
The never-Trumpers, the Democrat party, the media, the academe have spent the past four years telling us that Trump was a dictator in the making. “Literally Hitler” they said.
Now they want the federal government to have all the power. Which is what they really wanted all along, but the problem was, they didn’t hold 100% of it themselves.
But now, now’s the time to consolidate power in the federal government, since they think they’re poised to assume that power in November.
If there was ever any doubt, there should be none now.
I am 73 with a lot of life experience. But when I am here as long as you, there is no indication that will increase intelligence. You’re a case in point.
When you say you don’t know someone, it’s more an indication of your ignorance than his lack of celebrity.
-—a lowly noob just trying to bask in your sunlight.
“Sports Radio Non Essential has something to say?”
Ooooooooh, it’s got to really butt hurt our pro sports guys that they’re non-essential people.
Everybody “celebrity” in NYC thinks the world revolves around them...
He really has no clue.
Seriously.
He's been talking sports with his big microphone all his life while his federal government has become corrupt and inefficient.
Well it's too late now, Mike. You should have been more vigilant, much sooner.
You are part of the problem.
In case you didn’t already know, Mike Francesa is an a$$hole.
