Also, this morning, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert at the National Institutes of Health, testified before Congress stating that the new case daily numbers could reach 100,000. Fauci has repeatedly urged states to follow federal guidelines for reopening, including in his last appearance before the Senate health committee when he warned in May that failure to do so would led to "some suffering and death" that could be avoided.

A number of states paused their reopening plans last week as the U.S. set records for the number of new cases in one day. Texas closed bars and limited restaurant capacity, while Florida banned drinking at bars.

  1. I would ask Kayleigh this question: I understand you have your rehearsed talking points which you must address but during the question period, will you ever actually answer a specific question posed to you by anyone in this room or are we just wasting time with you?

    1. She rehearsed the speech they had written up for her but still can’t seem to take her eyes off it. I know from experience that when you know what your talking about you don’t even look at the dot points pretty much. Bimbo level 100.

    2. Because they are trying to spin the questions and trap her so they can use it against them by twisting their words for their political gain and ensue more chaos. She’s smart by doing this.

    3. @Adrian Lopez They are trying to make the US government like Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

  2. The leftists don’t care who or what they endanger,they want what they want and want it now and they call him the child.

  3. what’s with the spectral highlight where her hair is parted. you only get that kind of brightness on chrome. could she be the latest generation of LieBot 3000?

  4. When you mistreat and neglect America’s finest you should not count yourself amongst them. Our military has the most important job in America 🇺🇸 To be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice for our nation with a bounty on your head is immoral and unconscionable. The world is watching with baited breath upon our next move to defend ourselves and freedom. We are the leader of the free world. Why aren’t we acting like it? Shameful beyond belief.

  5. KayLIE McENEMY (of the state) doing her best to spin another Trump white house disaster! They never end with Dementia Donnie’s circus act and abject FAILURE as a leader. Fear not, the corona virus abortion of a response and his attempts now to dismiss it as an issue will insure the Bunker Baby is a one term aberration!!!

  6. America needs enemies. Russia, China and Iran. The world belongs to USA. There can only be usa values.

  7. THIS IS AMERICA, IN THE HANDS OF THIS BASTED?..🤣 OH NO…THIS IS THE END OF THE BEGINNING, VIVA….TRAUMP VIVA….👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✊✊✊✊

  8. Media: CNN, MSNBC, BBC other use the Mein Kampf propaganda
    technique about using lies so “colossal” that no one will believe
    that someone “can have the audacity to distort the truth so
    shamefully.” They play the role of communist leaders liberating America
    from the police, capitalism, and President Trump. They are engaged in madness
    propaganda of terrorism Antifa against the Americans, racism, a bloody war for
    the power of democrats, Obayma ben Laden. Media advocacy is making outstanding
    strides. Hundreds of policemen and ordinary people were killed or injured.
    Battered a lot of small businesses. Cars and buildings burned. Democrats in
    Power: 104 shot, 15 fatally, over Father’s Day weekend in Chicago. Menu:
    Sensations – a lie about Trump. Trump is credited with all the sabotage of the
    US economy done by the Democrats. The media feeds us with a “peaceful
    demonstration,” which robs stores and kills people with the hands of Antifa and
    other terrorist organizations. The requirements are “transferring control
    of the city districts to Peaceful Terrorists” allegedly under the US
    Constitution. Indeed, there are peaceful demonstrators who are mixed with
    Antifa. Lenin promised to abduct the police – the Democrats began. If they keep
    the police? You need to drive a van with ice cream, an orchestra, girls and a
    massage parlor. To serve thieves, thugs, especially for the peaceful black life
    matter terrorists, repeat criminals like George Floyd. A person cannot speak
    physically if they step on his neck. Quite simple. Heroes Police officers Derek
    Chauvin, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao arrested criminal George
    Floyd became “political prisoners.” In written history, only Jews in
    Jewish Ashkenazi settlements in Eurasia lived without police under the guidance
    of the Rabbis. Although there, quite often, petty thefts were committed every
    200 years. When salvation for black and white is one thing: the work of which
    was provided by President Trump. In abundance and a healthy lifestyle.
    Churches, Synagogues, a school for children of choice and without trade unions
    and so on. In 2019, police killed 235 black criminals and 370 White. 2020 88
    black and 172 white. Annually: 13% of the US black population participates in
    53% of the killings. 38% of crimes with sadism. 37% in drug sales. 40% of
    police officers killed policemen – were killed by blacks. 981 whites are killed
    by blacks. 375 blacks are killed by white.

    Coronavirus will live for many years as TB and other
    diseases. Left “Fuhrer” need a coronavirus to destroy President
    Trump’s economy, close hospitals, synagogues, shopping centers, in a word
    dictatorship.

    The left needs coronavirus, demonstrations, Black Lives
    Matter and other terrorists, CNN – in the hope of preventing President Trump
    from winning the 2020 election. They do not care about ordinary people,
    especially black people. They are waging a bloody war for power, a rain of
    money.

  9. Today’s NEWS CONFERENCE by WH press secretary…seriously, she stated that “the president does read…” 🤦🏽‍♀️ So, the daily briefing is in Braille? Or he’s just informed and refuses to act?

  10. Russia 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺is Much much stronger brave intelligent respectable and sovereign than you 👊
