Debriefing the COVID-19 Briefing: April 13

from The Takeout with Major Garrett · host CBS News

After a weekend that saw the US death toll surpass 20,000, President Trump barely acknowledged the carnage. Instead he offered a combative – and at times flailing and desperate - defense of his administration’s response that included a campaign-style video montage accusing the media of downplaying the outbreak. He also stated that his power in this time of crisis is virtually unlimited. The briefing spanned 2 hours and 23 minutes, the longest and most whiplash-inducing of its kind thus far. 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker, whose story Sunday outlined the challenges facing frontline medical personnel in New York, joins Major Garrett to discuss the disconnect between the reality in America's hospitals and the president's rhetoric.
