President Donald Trump began his Wednesday news conference by saying that the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had been “misquoted” in a Washington Post interview in which he said next winter might be “more difficult” than the current CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
“I do want to mention, a man who’s done a very good job for us, Dr. Robert Redfield was totally misquoted in the media about the fall season and the virus. Totally misquoted. I spoke to him and he said it was ridiculous,” the president said during the daily Coronavirus Task Force briefing at the White House.
