Tracy Morgan defends Trump, calls for unity during national crisis: 'Now is not the time to blame'

Comedian Tracy Morgan defended President Trump from critics on Tuesday and called for national unity amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

The "Saturday Night Live" alum began his interview on "Today" by shedding light on how quarantine life had been for him so far, joking to NBC anchor Hoda Kotb that he and his wife had been "role-playing a lot now."

Shortly after, Morgan praised medical staff, first responders, police and firefighters "heroes", saying they deserve "respect."

"The struggle is real. Right now we're struggling. People want to criticize the president, but imagine being president of a country and have your country got sick. So it's difficult for him," Morgan said.

The "Last O.G." star continued, "We've all got to pull together as people now. Now is not the time to blame and all these other things and anger. It's here now. We just got to be together. We've got to all stay safe. Nobody wants to transmit it, nobody wants to attract it, nobody wants to get it. So let's just stay safe and do the protocol that we have to do."

"Uncle Tom/house black/race traitor"

For his sake, I hope Morgan has saved a lot and plans to retire anyway; that'll be the reward for being a stand-up guy.
 
Did he say he "was calling" it that; I don't see that. We already acknowledged the WHO announced it first on Mar 11; it's what they do. I'm also certain he and the task force had discussed the term countless times and considered it a pandemic prior to the announcement.

And to be precise, I think the period of his stating numbers going down was a narrow time frame, and related to the original 15 who were infected in the U.S. CDC had also categorized them separately from the four dozen or so from the cruise ship.
Yes, he said that he felt it was a pandemic long before anyone else was (such as the WHO) calling it that. That does not correspond with what he was saying before March 11th. There is no wiggle room here. Trump lied. This is you going the extra mile to perform linguistic gymnastics and split hairs to give a proven liar the benefit of a doubt, which there isn't any to give.
 
Because it poses a health risk and potentially gives false hope instead of facts.
False hope is these Trump and the governors setting a timeline milestone back in late March and then moving that timeline two weeks further out right as we near the first deadline. Luckily, I think we may be approaching the end of this pretty soon, else I could see them extending these quarantine orders for 2 weeks at a time until July.

I think Tracy was hit by a truck... So, I dunno. I guess Trump blaming Obama for mask shortages because "the military had no ammo, and the shelves were empty" didn't even show up on Morgan's radar. You see...

It's ridiculous the lengths you guys go to, just to argue that Trump isn't a liar.

NC alluded to the fact but your comprehension disorder (TDS) would not allow you to process... How do you BB85 know he wasn't calling/referring to this as a pandemic behind the scenes?

Or are you the type of person that freaks out in the face of adversity instead of remaining calm and projecting a things are not bad attitude in public so that more people don't freak out.

This President is brilliant at trolling you on the left and you don't even realize it.

He is saying inconsistent things, just to 'troll' his political adversaries? Whatever. Trump's track record is one of lying, instead of confronting uncomfortable truths.
 
Yeah... and someone who doesn't even know my name is in a position to form such judgement. You got the toddler part right though.

I don’t care who you are, you portray yourself plenty with your posts on this site.

Obama was a POS, but he didn’t affect my life so much that I felt the need to post my every qualm on a sports board.

ETA: By the way, it’s judgment*

Speaking to an MSNBC reporter on Tuesday, Pressley said she wants to see the next COVID-19 relief package to include a greater number of “vulnerable populations,” such as the homeless, men and women in jail, and those living in the U.S. illegally.

This is the real "Uncle Tom". Putting ilegal aliens ahead of blacks that were born and raised here.

Lol. You don't even realize it. These next 4 years are going to be priceless. Just think about what he can do without thinking about re-election?
 
It IS going well . About that link you put up , what the group size that saw these , as you called them “ anecdotal side effects “ from using this drug ? Why are these findings not listed on the possible side effects from the CDC and why after decades of use in everyone from little Johnny to little johnnys pregnant and nursing mom , are we so worried about this liver damage now ?


Raging alcoholics are at a distinct disadvantage when it concerns the liver

Get the unemployment rate back below 8%? That will be a challenge. There are rough days ahead, regardless of who the president is.
