We will see many non-answers during crisis

Dear Editor, Another example of (don’t expect an answer if you ask a conservative a question they can’t, or one for which they do not have an answer), was on full display this past week. When reporter Peter Alexander asked President Trump, during a presidential briefing, “What do you say to Americans who are watching you right now who are scared?” Trump responded, “I say you are a terrible reporter, that’s what I say.” Please compare our President’s crude response to President Obama’s 2009 refined answer when South Carolina’s Republican Congressman Joe Wilson yelled, “you lie.” Instead of denigrating the…
