Is also posted on the web page for the villages. Hourslier, after making headlines, it appears the tweet was removed. Lets bring in National Political reporter Josh Letterman at the white house. Josh, what is the white house saying about this video . Well, alicia, lets start with what the white house is not saying. Gnaw condemning this trump supporter who in the video was chanting white power, nor condemning his comments to that effect.

Second surge of cases in this first wave. A Record Number of cases are being confirmed right now. Yes, were testing more, but still were not nearly testing enough. In fact the cdc today said that there may be ten times more cases than whats been reported, which would mean north of 20 million infections in the United States.
