The Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of spokesman Christian Slater on Mike Pence’s Flint rally:
“Less than one week from election day and Donald Trump is sending the leader of his COVID-19 task force to spin his surrender to this deadly pandemic that has killed over 7,000 Michiganders, sickened over 150,000, and tanked our economy. Despite the crisis this virus has caused, Trump, Pence, and their administration now believe ‘we are not going to control this pandemic.’ This event is nothing more than a desperate attempt to distract from their reckless disregard for Michiganders’ lives and we will turn out in droves to reject this deadly agenda and elect Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Gary Peters, and Democrats up and down the ticket.”
