Susan Rice: There Is Literally No Excuse For Trump Admin’s Lack Of Preparedness For Coronavirus

‘Morning Joe’ reports as the coronavirus pandemic deepens, the president is still looking for people to blame.

SUSAN RICE, OBAMA ADMIN. NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR: Let’s talk about warning. Warning is both strategic, a major threat that we know is coming, and it can be tactical, which in this case it was. It is coming now and it is coming from China. That’s what he was told in his presidential daily briefing in early January.

So there is literally no excuse for this administration’s lack of preparedness, two full months were absolutely squandered. You know, the WhiteHouse was notified in early January, first from the head of the CDC and FDA, they had heard that from China. The White House at senior levels at that moment should have been on this like the crisis we knew it had the potential to be.
