Ilhan Omar Minnesota Democratic Rep. unexpectedly praised President Donald J Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic on Wednesday night, saying it was “incredible and the right response in this critical time.”
Omar was reacting to a post by The Intercept’s Lee Fang, who noted: “Trump suspending contract abandonments, requesting money installments to Americans, presently summoning the Defense Production Act to constrain private firms to deliver required supplies is mind blowing. Sort of a shell stun for any individual who gave an account of any monetary arrangements in the Obama years.”
She said ‘‘Politics aside, this is incredible and the right response in this critical time”.
