Chairwoman McDaniel: Democrat Governors Had It Wrong When It Comes To COVID
CHAIRWOMAN MCDANIEL: I think it hurts her. It speaks to elitism. It shows that politicians govern a different way for themselves than they do for average Americans. Restaurants that can't be at full capacity, families that can't eat together for special occasions...these rules are hurting people and businesses, and she's flouting them. It will hurt her when she's up for re-election in 2022.
MARTHA MACCALLUM: The interesting thing is when we have so much data, looking across the states, you can see the lockdown did not—didn't necessarily—make people's numbers any different. Looks like this virus found its way around the populations around the country, regardless of whether or not you were severely locked down. In some cases, it was worse, Ronna.
CHAIRWOMAN MCDANIEL: It shows that Republican governors led the way. DeSantis, Noem, Abbott. Democrat governors that were applauded and cheered by the media were the ones that had it wrong. Cuomo, Newsom, and Whitmer.
