Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York said during a Friday coronavirus press conference that he believes the federal government (President Donald Trump) has used the Defense Production Act โeffectively,โ and that the president is right to question the World Health Organization (WHO) about its response to the coronavirus pandemic that originated in Red China.
โFederal government has something called the Defense Production Act, DPA they call it, which Iโve been saying from day one is a very powerful tool for the federal government to use when they need to secure a product in the defense of this nation,โ Cuomo said. โThis is in the defense of this nation. The federal government has used it effectively. Theyโve used it in this situation more as a point of leverage than anything else. Basically saying to a company, โWe need you to do this. We do have the Defense Production Act that we could use.’โ
Cuomo also brought up Trumpโs decision to question the WHO over its response to the outbreak in China.
โA question that Iโve had from day one and when you look back at this, where were the horns that should have been triggered back in December and January?โ Cuomo asked. โWhere were the warning signs? Who was supposed to blow the whistle? The president has asked this question, and I think heโs right.โ
โThe president, his answer is the World Health Organization should have been blowing the whistle,โ Cuomo continued. โI donโt know enough to know if thatโs right or wrong, but I know the question is right, and sometimes the question is more important than the answer. How did this happen? I mean, I still want to know how this happened because the warning signs were there, and if you donโt know the answer, then how do you know itโs not going to happen again? Right? Fool me once.โ
Another comment he made that is off-topic is the need to pass bills that aren’t filled with pork. On that, we also agree.
As for WHO, the director is in bed with Red China.
