Anchor Judy Woodruff brought up the left's criticism of putting Vice President Mike Pence in charge of the virus task force, asking Brooks: "We're already hearing sniping, criticism. I mean, what do you see coming from the federal government? Does it give you confidence that the country is ready?"
Brooks promptly whined over the purported claim that Dr. Anthony Fauci was kept from speaking to the media about the coronavirus, even though Fauci himself asserted that no one in the Trump administration had "muzzled" him. He then lauded that the virus had "a lot of upside" for Democrats.
Brooks said, "And so to look at it in the crass political terms, I don't see any upside for Trump. I do see significant downside, and a lot of upside for the Democrats, since they are the party of health care, and since they are the party of government. And so I think it could — it could really shock us, how big this becomes, as it is already as in other countries."
