Republicans tweets on the Corona presser, Portman (Oh) is trying to laying cover for trump

Rob Portman (@senrobportman) Tweeted:
Pleased that @realDonaldTrump and his administration are taking aggressive and proactive action to combat the #coronavirus.

This is no time for partisan politics. We need to come together and stay vigilant to prepare and protect the American people.

You and your party’s enablers know darn well that Donnie only cares about the “caranaviris” because he’s worried it will make him look bad or it will make the stock market tumble on his watch. He couldn’t care less that actual people may suffer and die.

So take your “partisan politics “ and stick it where the sun don’t shine .....

stop all tweets that blame every thing in the world on the other side.
Have him stop with the 3rd grade name calling.

Is he angling to be VP? If coronavirus ends up being any trouble, Pence has been positioned to fail and take the blame.

Portman has proven to be every bit the rear-kisser that Mother's Man has been...

Just like this one, most of his tweets give no indication that he is a US senator who can play a part in the solution.

And he's never been part of a solution (sorry to say he's one of my state's senators. At least we also have Sherrod Brown!)

A denier of science , and another trump lackey, was put there to lie to the American people for him, and prevent the truth from hurting him, and shows trumps intent is to continue the lies. It can't be under control when it's spreading throughout the world and now here in this country too.trumps a liar ,and his claims and accusations towards others shows how incredibly corrupt he is. Pence is just his puppet repeating any lie he wants him to repeat.

About fighting the virus in a non partisan way, he’d call for funding for a program for providing vaccines to every man woman and child, for free or low cost.

But he is a Trump toady,so he won’t. I wish he’d just crawl back under his rock.
