Keeping them Honest: Pres. Trump’s divisive, inflammatory and racist words

President Trump says that 99 percent of Covid-19 cases are totally harmless and instead focuses his national leadership message on dividing the country with racist remarks about the confederate flag. Meanwhile, White House Task Force Member Doctor Anthony Fauci continues to sound the alarm on the pandemic saying that "we are still knee-deep in the first wave of this." Dr. Peter Hotez and Professor William Haseltine weigh in on the rise in cases around the country. Professor Haseltine tells Anderson Cooper that contact tracing is no longer effective, that “It's unfortunately up to each individual to be responsible for themselves ... I am afraid at this point we are past the point of no return in many of our states.” Also, former Democratic South Carolina lawmaker Bakari Sellers and CNN Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash discuss President Trump’s focus on confederate imagery and racist tweets. Plus, former Health and Human Services Secretary under President Obama, Kathleen Sebelius, weighs in on the U.S. military announcing that they will send medical and support personnel to help support San Antonio after the rise in coronavirus cases in Texas.
