Congresswoman Maxine Waters weighed-in Thursday on the Coronavirus outbreak across the United States; saying President Trump should “shut his mouth and be quiet” on the issue.
“It’s been said over and over again. You cannot trust this President. Not only is he a liar, he does not believe in anything scientific. The President cannot be relied upon… Someone said he needs to be quiet, he should shut his mouth, and he should do that,” said Waters.
“He needs to allow NIH and others to deal with this issue and to help us through it,” she added.
