WH's McEnany: 'The world is looking at us as a leader' on pandemic
tulc( )A reporter asked White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany yesterday, "How do you think the world is looking at the United States right now?" She replied, "I think the world is looking at us as a leader in COVID-19."
In a way, there's some truth to that -- but probably not in the way the president's spokesperson intended. By all appearances, the world is looking at the United States as leading the world in the number of coronavirus cases. Around the globe, observers are also marveling at the number of American fatalities, which also leads the world. Internationally, officials have also struggled to comprehend how our response has been so much worse than other advanced nations' handling of the pandemic.
