WASHINGTON -- Republican political operatives are recruiting extremely pro-Trump doctors to go on television to prescribe reviving the U.S. economy as quickly as possible, without waiting to meet safety benchmarks proposed by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.
The plan was discussed in a May 11 conference call with a senior staffer for the Trump reelection campaign organized by CNP Action, an affiliate of the GOP-aligned Council for National Policy. A leaked recording of the hourlong call was provided to The Associated Press by the Center for Media and Democracy, a progressive watchdog group.
CNP Action is part of the Save Our Country Coalition, an alliance of conservative think tanks and political committees formed in late April to end state lockdowns implemented in response to the pandemic. Other members of the coalition include the FreedomWorks Foundation, the American Legislative Exchange Council and Tea Party Patriots.
A resurgent economy is seen as critical to boosting President Donald Trumps reelection hopes and has become a growing focus of the White House coronavirus task force led by Vice President Mike Pence.
Tim Murtaugh, the Trump campaign communications director, confirmed to AP that an effort to recruit doctors to publicly support the president is underway, but declined to say when the initiative would be rolled out.

He should have done this week’s ago.
A pretty clear sign that Dr. Tony has fouled out and is seated on the bench.
Well that rules out Doctor Joy Behar, PHD, EI, EIO..........
WASHINGTON — Democrat political operatives are recruiting extremely anti-Trump reporters to go on television to prescribe killing the U.S. economy as quickly as possible.....
In case anyone is having trouble with the picture of Obama with a group of alleged doctors in the Rose Garden, he was pushing Obamacare and gave out white coats to people then pretended they were a group of doctors supporting his Obamacare.
You don't have to be extremely pro-Trump to want to revive the economy. I just happen to have had a doctors appointment yesterday and my physician is anything but pro-Trump and he's pissed off all to hell about this, telling me that the death numbers are not accurate and the lock down was the dumbest thing we could have done and believes in herd immunity.
I mentioned that Biden wants the lock down to continue and believes the number of deaths have been understated (I made that up) and he said he may just sit out this election, and I mentioned that he's better off supporting Pres. Trump if he wants to get back to a good economy - he said "you may be right" and we left it at that! Might be one more convert in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey!
My brother and dad’s doctor and nurses believe the corona virus is hyped. Not that it doesn’t exist, that’s undeniable, but that the whole mask wearing, stay indoors, close small businesses thing is to everyone’s detriment. There was not a single case of covid they saw and they are infectious disease specialists. I think though that they are not permitted to voice these beliefs or concerns because they are owned by Novant who furloughed thousands of hospital and medical employees in April.
You know the MSM will do everything in their power to destroy these guys.
My theory is that this article was created to help neutralize any news of physicians who question the official “we’re all gonna die” narrative. I’m starting to see reports of physicians who are wandering off the Fauci plantation. If this article achieves its purpose, many people will just dismiss those physicians as being part of that “pro-Trump group of doctors who care more about politics than people’s lives”.
Our daily reminder that AP is now a crude propaganda outlet.
