GRAND RAPIDS– The Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes on Alex Azar’s desperate attempt to cover for Donald Trump’s failed COVID-19 response in Grand Rapids:
“Alex Azar has been the point person for Donald Trump’s failed response to COVID-19 and his repeated attempts to strip health care from Michigan workers. After spending years fighting to gut protections for preexisting conditions and slash Medicaid funding, Trump and Azar botched the response to the global pandemic that has killed thousands of Michiganders and left over a million unemployed. Azar is coming to Michigan to cover for this president’s disastrous leadership, but Michigan working families won’t fall for this administration’s empty words and broken promises.”
