Several House Republicans left a closed-door coronavirus briefing on Friday after Rep. Rosa DeLauro spoke critically of the Trump administration’s efforts to protect the American public from the global epidemic.

According to a transcript, DeLauro, D-3rd District, said she supported the administration’s declaration of a public health emergency that allows states like Connecticut more flexibility in spending federal public health money.

“That said, I have grave concerns about the lack of transparency and unwillingness to allow public health experts to speak freely about what is happening,” DeLauro said. There are reports that Vice President Mike Pence, appointed by President Donald Trump to lead the coronavirus response, wants to coordinate all messaging from public health officials about the virus.

DeLauro, the chairwoman of the House Appropriations subcommittee in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services budget, also said, “I have serious concerns about the administration’s responsiveness with respect to funding.”

“We have repeatedly asked for information about expenditures,” she said. “And thus far, we have not received adequate answers.”

Democrats want the full $8.5 billion allocated, and not moved from other programs. What game are they playing here?

The game is called "Never let a Crisis go to Waste".

8.5 billion dollars is quite a generous slush fund to pass out to their friends and relatives. They might even spend some minor part of it on actual medical research.

But anything that goes wrong can be blamed on President Trump for not letting them spending enough money.

Looking at that could easily compel anyone to walk out. They should demand eye bleach on every desk.

Good God! that is one of the ugliest people I have ever seen. I’ll have nightmares for a month after seeing that. I’d trade having had that image seared into my brain for a full blown case of coronavirus.
