It is stomach-churning that the first thoughts these Senators had to a dire & classified #COVID briefing was how to profit off this crisis.

They didn't mobilize to help families, or prep response. They dumped stock.

Sen. Loeffler needs to resign, too. [_link]

If you find out about a nation-threatening pandemic and your first move is to adjust your stock portfolio you should probably not be in a job that serves the public interest.

Stop politicizing #coronavirus.
#COVID19 is a public health emergency, not an opportunity for political posturing. It is NOT a time to tear down an administration that is working tirelessly to keep America safe.
