Spox I guess means spokesperson
CNN anchor Poppy Harlow on Friday shut down Trump campaign spokesperson Mercedes Schlapp over the presidents handling of the coronavirus pandemic, pointing out how many times the president has said the virus thats killed nearly 140,000 Americans would just go away and disappear.
In a contentious 15-minute CNN interview, Schlapp was steamrolled almost immediately by Harlow, who came prepared with a list of facts to push back on the Trump flacks inevitable spin.
After tangling over the issue of mask mandates and how experts show they could stem the spread of the disease, Harlow brought up a patient who recently died, noting he expressed regret for believing coronavirus was a hoax.
For months and months, why did the president continue to downplay the severity of this? Harlow pressed the Trump spokesperson, prompting her to blow up.
