'He was warned': Former U.S. coronavirus task force aide slams Trump's handling of crisis
CTVNews ^ | 10/24/2020 | Rachel Gilmore

OTTAWA -- A former member of U.S. President Donald Trump's COVID-19 task force says the president was warned "very early on" about the severity of the virus but still went "out of his way" to "undermine" efforts against it.

"The president was told very early on that this virus would be worse than the flu," said Olivia Troye, former aide to Vice President Mike Pence, in an interview with CTV Question Period Host Evan Solomon airing Sunday.

"He specifically said, 'Is this worse than the flu?' He was told, 'Yes, it absolutely is. It spreads a lot faster, and it can be deadlier from what we're seeing'…He was warned."

She added that "he goes out of his way to undermine it and to say the pandemic, you know is going away that cases were going away."

--------snip------

Troye, once a homeland security official, was Vice President Mike Pence’s top aide on the White House coronavirus task force until she left in August 2020. While the lifelong republican contends she resigned, Pence's national security adviser Mike Kellogg asserts he fired her and escorted her off the compound.

He was warned they were doing Operation Dark Winter.

Did you see Biden mention Dark Winter and repeat it?

Google Dark Winter.

You can’t make the “cure” worse than the disease.

From her Wiki:

“ According to CNN, Troye is a lifelong Republican.[7] Troye self-identifies as a “John McCain Republican” and endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden”

In other words, she’s an idiot swamprat looking for a new gig after she got fired.

Why didn't you just provide it:

Operation Dark Winter was the code name for a senior-level bio-terrorist attack simulation conducted from June 22–23, 2001. It was designed to carry out a mock version of a covert and widespread smallpox attack on the United States.

Tara O'Toole and Thomas Inglesby of the Johns Hopkins Center for Civilian Biodefense Strategies (CCBS) / Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and Randy Larsen and Mark DeMier of Analytic Services were the principal designers, authors, and controllers of the Dark Winter project.

Oh she forgot to mention how Fauci said it would be a miniscule affect on the USA. She forgot to mention how Senate Committee’s were briefed in Feb but they still said festivals and parades were ok to continue, the impeachment hearings, no masks, no worries, no statements about COVID safety.

Does anyone even care about coronavirus anymore? As compared to the terrible toll the lockdowns are taking on human life including record high suicides, deaths from heart disease etc be whose vital surgeries were delayed due to coronavirus lockdowns?

Yes but it wasn’t bad all over the country. If Trump had shut down the country, the democrats would have cooked the Covid deaths down and called Trump a “Nazi”.

...”Another Pence staffer outed as a closet #nevertrumper.”...

The weaponization of this novel virus, which no one has seen before is very dangerous for our nation. We truly are at a crossroad between freedom and tyranny and our young, who have been our deprived of learning the traits of tyrannical nations and how they got there through violence and suppression of natural human freedoms are mostly behind it. As my friend, historian and author, Otto Scott, told me years ago at my dinner table, “When America falls, it will be sudden, like falling off a cliff.” Those words have haunted me this year as I am seeing that very thing happen and no group seems willing to stand against it to stop that freight train. Lack of wisdom and ignorance is the infirmity of this generation of elites who want to be Gods. Donald Trump has almost single handedly stood against those forces and their hatred against him knows no bounds. I have talked with people who hate Trump who cannot tell me why they hate him. They just do. It is almost diabolical.

The give advice from all over the spectrum of recommendations then later point out the that they recommended the optimum appearing choice at that time, then later still point out that they recommended the optimum appearing choice at the later time. They always point out they recommended whatever the optimum appearing choice is at the current time for the current audience.

Children are falling behind in school, gyms are largely forbidden, and TV is encouraged. Basically, the lockdown strategy ends up making people even more out of shape, fatter, and more susceptible to disease.
