It would seem the members of the mainstream media are taking turns asking unbelievably stupid questions during coronavirus briefings.
On Tuesday, CNN political analyst and
Politico writer Ryan Lizza became the
latest bottom-feeder to ask the question "how many coronavirus deaths are acceptable" to the Trump administration in terms of reelection in November.
The difference here, however, was that Lizza's question was directed to White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany:
Kayleigh, we're about to cross the 100,000 dead American milestone. What would - what does the White House view as having - on Election Day, what does the White House view the number of dead Americans where you can say that you successfully defeated this pandemic? Is there a number?
Being a human being, McEnany of course affirmed that "every loss of life counts" and that President Trump himself has echoed that same sentiment.
But that wasn't good enough for Lizza:
But when voters go to the polls in November and they want to judge the President on his response to the President, what is the number of dead Americans that they should tolerate as – and where they can argue that yes, he successfully defeated the pandemic?
McEnany responded by calling him out for "asking the wrong question," which seemed to anger Lizza and led to a contentious back and forth.
