Trump attacks coronavirus whistleblower before congressional testimony
NY Post ^ | May 14 2020 | Yaron Steinbuch

President Donald Trump launched an angry attack Thursday at Dr. Rick Bright ahead of the whistleblower’s highly anticipated congressional testimony — calling the ousted head of the agency tasked with creating a coronavirus vaccine a “disgruntled employee.”

“I don’t know the so-called Whistleblower Rick Bright, never met him or even heard of him, but to me he is a disgruntled employee, not liked or respected by people I spoke to and who, with his attitude, should no longer be working for our government!” the president said in a tweet.

Bright, who was removed from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, plans to testify that the US will face its “darkest winter in modern history” without additional measures to improve the government’s ability to test and trace people infected with COVID-19.

Never Trumper Bret Baier just said on Outnumbered that the Obama
Deep stater’s testimony could be “politically damaging” to Trump. BS.
No Trump supporter wouldn’t vote for him because of this democrat grandstander.

I am watching this “whistle” blower convinced that whistles aren’t the only thing he blows.

This is another complete “swing and miss” effort to damage Trump. This hearing is dreadful and boring.

“Never Trumper Bret Baier”

You sir are 100% correct. The channel should be immediately turned the minute Brett Baier rises up on his piss-stained hind legs to open its pie hole.

A guy who was not “in charge”, his boss was done with him, so they transfered him to another very important program related to the COVID, and rather than going to do his new job, he decided to lie about why he was being pushed out.

If Trump had never met or even heard of Bright then why was he speaking to people about him? Watch the media jump all over that one.
