McConnell says Obama administration 'did leave behind' pandemic plan
BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 05/14/20 08:05 PM EDT 1,712
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday walked back comments made earlier this week that the Obama administration didn't leave behind a "game plan" for a pandemic.
"I was wrong," McConnell said when asked about his comments during a Fox News interview.
"They did leave behind a plan. I clearly made a mistake in that regard,” he said.
“As to whether or not the plan was followed and who is the critic and all the rest, I don’t have any observation about that because I don’t know enough about the details of that ... to comment on it in any detail,” he added.
McConnell's comments come after he appeared to blame the Obama administration for not leaving guidelines behind for the Trump White House during the transition in 2017. President Trump and his allies have made similar remarks.
"They claim pandemics only happen once every hundred years but what if that's no longer true? We want to be early, ready for the next one, because clearly the Obama administration did not leave to this administration any kind of game plan for something like this," McConnell said during a Trump campaign event with Lara Trump.
His comments sparked backlash from former Obama administration officials.

Moscow Mitch perfect Trump bootlicker. Make up lies for Fox news then get caught. Another lying Trumpster.

Moscow Mitch makes the claim. That is part one. Then when shown he was wrong, he reluctantly admitted fucking it up. Part two. The Repubs stay at part one.
