It’s not as if the country needed more attempts from partisans to play politics over the spread of coronavirus in the U.S., but former Obama administration Ebola czar Ronald Klain was happy to do it anyway:
If you are not at your job today, it is because Donald Trump did not do his job (to fight #coronavirus) in January and February.https://t.co/ZvOU3bFcL2

Trump critics like NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio have tripped over their own recent comments while rushing to slam the administration’s response, and we can add Klain to the list:

Awkward!
And Grabien Media founder Tom Elliott found even more examples:
Ron Klain in Feb. on the Coronavirus: “No reason yet to be fearful, no reason yet to really panic or anything like that." https://t.co/5GIbNFWSFz

This is from Feb. 12th, two weeks after Trump imposed the China travel ban — and Klain is still saying it’s nothing to worry about.

While @RonaldKlain was telling people to relax, by Feb. 12th Trump had:
– Banned travel from China
– Banned travel from Europe
– Suspended copays for coronavirus testing
– Mandated quarantines
– Declared a public health emergency
– Issued travel warnings— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) March 26, 2020
And here is Ron Klain on Feb. 5th saying it’s “impossible, impossible to cut off the flow of people from China to the United States”; suggests doing so wouldn’t help anyway pic.twitter.com/5CBlZ8O6nx

Trump cut off flights from China and established the White House Coronavirus Task Force in January. Remind me, what were Democrats focused on back then? https://t.co/Fy9zLX68XB
