masks, The closures and quarantines around the world have spooked investors and the stock market took a dramatic tumble this week. News of the latest death comes on the heels of three new cases in California, Oregon and Washington in which the patients were infected by unknown means. They had not recently traveled overseas or had come into contact with anyone who had. As new cases have popped up in the United States, tensions between Trump and Democrats are bubbling up as well. At a rally in South Carolina Friday night, Trump accused his Democratic critics of politicizing the coronavirus outbreak and dismissed the criticism about his handling of the virus as “their new hoax” and insisted “we are totally prepared.”

Adam Schiff, who led the impeachment fight, said Friday he has profound concerns about Trump's response to the coronavirus and cast doubt on whether the White House is telling the truth to the American public about the global outbreak. The president and vice president don’t inspire confidence, Schiff told Fox News as he left a coronavirus briefing at the Capitol Friday morning. And because the president has made so many false statements about so many things, you can't really rely on the White House.

I have profound concerns about the management of this at the level of the White House, Schiff said, but there are some good career people who we got the opportunity to talk to today.” Trump was joined by Pence and top health officials, including Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Surgeon General Jerome Adams and CDC Director Robert Redfield.

In an interview on Fox & Friends Weekend with hosts Dean Cain, Pete Hegseth, and Jedidiah Bila, Kobach said that the president and his administration made the best move they could have by limiting entry to the United States in reaction to the rapidly-spreading COVID-19 virus and that he was glad he did it under criticism from the left.

All of this talk about securing our borders does expose one problem that we still have. Because Congress failed to give President Trump the money early enough and in enough quantity, we still don't have adequate border wall built. Kobach had previously helped the Trump administration draft their border plan.
