Mike Francesa, affectionately known as the ‘Sports Pope’ for his domination of New York sports radio in recent decades, and someone who has supported Donald Trump as a candidate and now president, decisively broke with him over his response to the coronavirus crisis, thundering that “they’re bringing people out of the hospital in Queens in body bags, five minutes from where he grew up.”

But those days appear to be over. Francesa on Monday began by mentioning how Trump accused hospitals of padding the numbers of masks they need because they were trying to “sell them out the back door,” adding that Trump told the media “to go investigate that.”

“You go investigate that!” Francesa yelled. “You have your military, your FEMA investigate that, that’s your job,” he said, pronouncing FEMA like the leg bone in his trademark Long Island accent. But then Francesa went on an epic rant, invoking the same blue collar men that Trump prides himself on having the support of.
