Several House Republicans left a closed-door coronavirus briefing on Friday after Rep. Rosa DeLauro spoke critically of the Trump administrations efforts to protect the American public from the global epidemic.
According to a transcript, DeLauro, D-3rd District, said she supported the administrations 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 administrations responsiveness with respect to funding.
We have repeatedly asked for information about expenditures, she said. And thus far, we have not received adequate answers.

Great Googly-moogly! I've seen better lookin' faces on an Iodine bottle. She looks like the witch in old Popeye cartoons. If I looked like that I wouldn't do anything like that hair to draw attention. If I had a dog that ugly I'd shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards just as a public service.
Rant over, I knew ya'll had the policy end covered.

Hitlerians...tell the BIG LIE often enough and with OUR PROPAGANDISTS...well...
Red duh Thorn-in-our-side must be angry...jumping the clock on HER DOOMSDAY scenario.
Asymmetric war by enemies within.
From Hammurabi Code through Halakhah, Moses, Sharia, Napoleonic code, Magna Carta, Constitution and Bill of Rights of The United States of America, there has never been a justice system designed to give individuals maximum freedom while dealing with depths of wickedness unseen. Are we Past Peak Civilization?
The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal. Many criminal never stop unless incarcerated or eliminated. Witness history.
