U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Dr. Deborah Birx in a Monday tweet after she warned the pandemic is 'extraordinarily widespread' in the U.S.
When Trump was asked what he meant in his tweet, the President sidestepped the question.
"I told Dr. Birx I think we're doing very well. She was in my office a little while ago. She's a person I have a lot of respect for. I think Nancy Pelosi's treated her very badly," Trump added. "And I'm just referring to the fact that I thought that, really, they should say the job we've done ... I think we're just doing very well."
"What we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread. It's into the rural as equal urban areas," she said, suggesting that some Americans in multi-generational families should start wearing masks inside their homes. "I think the President is spreading disinformation about the virus and she is his appointee, so I don't have confidence there, no," Pelosi said."I have never been called pollyannish, or nonscientific, or non-data driven," Birx said. "And I will stake my 40-year career on those fundamental principles of utilizing data to really implement better programs to save more lives.
