Joe nice to see you susan. Thank you to cspan. Susan will you help our viewers understand how tonights event came about . Everybody is focusing on the debate later this week, but this is a reaction to how that was put together. Can you explain . Joe it is indeed a reaction. About a month ago, 100 republicans in New Hampshire, a couple of former governors wrote a letter to fox protesting the decision to choose the top 10 for their debate based entirely on national polls. I can sympathize with fox trying to get a lot of people on the stage, but six or seven months before the first votes are cast, we do not window the field down in that fashion winnow the field down in that fashion. Thanks to cspan, voters around the country, to see a bigger field of candidates so the voters can determine who they want to vote for and not just a popularity poll this early in the season.

Out talking points against him as though he were a political opponent. The White House Campaign to undermine dr. Fauci is dishonest, disgusting, deranged and at a time of a deadly pandemic it is the ultimate in irresponsibility. I dont know the political benefit of going after one of your top medical experts in the middle of a pandemic. I dont see the upside. There has been a sunlight slight uptick in slight uptick in covid deaths this month but the death toll is nowhere near where it was in april. Thats good news in a difficult situation. They dont want you living in fear. What they want you to be is demoralized, dumbed down and dependent on the government. Howard things really escalated when white house trade advisor Peter Navarro trashed fauci saying he has been wrong about everything i have interact with him on.
