Warren Says Trump Admin Is Preventing States From Obtaining Coronavirus Equipment [View all]

While BS either attacks Democrats, takes credit for Senator Warren's work or simply draws attention to himself, Elizabeth Warren knows that it is not about her. It is about the American people. There is a reason why Trump attacked Warren, but repeatedly defended BS.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren tweeted her support of state Governor Charlie Baker Thursday after a press conference in which Baker said attempts to purchase medical equipment for the state's attempts to quell the coronavirus have been "enormously frustrating."

Baker told President Donald Trump on a conference call in March that Massachusetts had been outbid on orders for the equipment by the federal government. Trump had advised state governors to use their own established supply chains to purchase the items.

"We do like you going out, seeing what you can get, if you can get it faster," Trump told Baker. "Price is always a component of that also, maybe that's why lost to the feds. I'll tell you, that's probably why."

Baker described his attempts to procure needed items such as face masks, ventilators and respirators as "an incredibly messy thicket."
