Nikki Haley says to blame governors, not Trump but most Americans disagree
By Josh Israel -April 8, 2020 11:54 AM2 Comments647
The former ambassador to the United Nations praised Trump for 'marshaling the federal response' to the coronavirus pandemic.
Nikki Haley, Donald Trump's former ambassador to the United Nations and the former governor of South Carolina, urged Americans in a New York Times op-ed on Wednesday not to blame Trump but their governors for any failures in the nation's COVID-19 response.
But polling shows Americans believe their state governments were more prepared than Trump to handle the outbreak.
In a piece titled "Focus on your governor, not Trump," Haley argued that "governors who complain about the Trump administration are, in some cases, attempting to distract from their own failures to plan and execute."
"Once a crisis hits, state responsibility is primary," Haley wrote. "The federal government can provide crucial resources, but the burden is on the governor and her team to distribute them. No two states are alike, and blanket approaches won't work."

(16,254 posts)She says governors should be blamed for not preparing better.
Since the federal government has all the intelligence information (read by Trump, or not), they should have been alerted long ago about how serious this pandemic was supposed to be. It makes more sense to have a central purchasing/distribution point than 50.
She gives me a headache.
