Washington Post Columnist Jennifer Rubin Suggests Congress Should ‘Defund Walter Reed’ https://t.co/F7aC2WRaYy

The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin wrote Monday that Congress should consider defunding Walter Reed Medical Center. The response came after President Trump’s announcement that he was “feeling good” and would be leaving the center after being successfully treated for Covid19.
I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!

The President’s medical team said on Monday that Mr. Trump had “met or exceeded” discharge protocol, and that while the president remains contagious and would not be fully “out of the woods” for another week, he was expected to continue his recovery at the White House.
Rubin tweeted in response, “If he falls ill and relapses or infects anyone else his doctors will be responsible.”
She then proceeded to go on a tirade because the President was allowed to leave the Center on Monday. Here is a fraction of what she tweeted after the President’s announcement:
If he falls ill and relapses or infects anyone else his doctors will be responsible.

Is there no one at Walter Reed with the nerve to speak out publicly to warn others and express they objected to this dangerous course of conduct? After election there’s going to need to be a thorough review and AMA will need to consider discipline if appropriate

No way in HELL can debate commission allow Oct 15 debate to go forward. They will be responsible for exposing people to a deadly disease.

Here is the test: What Senate R’s speak up to say this is a danger to others?

Mike Pence will have to defend this as will every R. If they do not condemn, voter every last one out of office. Trump is willing to infect or kill people to maintain his ego

If Trump is “able” to debate Biden must insist he be in a separate room. This is a constitutional crisis if Trump infects him. The Debate Commission should be held legally responsible if they hold this thing

If Trump hadn’t lost every college educated and female voter in America, leaving Walter Reed with a deadly communicable disease might just do it

Walter Reed MDs are morally and professionally responsible for allowing this.

let @VP defend THIS at the debate on Wednesday. Good God, the willingness to endanger others because they are afraid of a raving lunatic is staggering.

That @VP has no thought of activating Sect 4 of 25thA tells you everything you know about his spinelessness and defective character

any MD who publicly endorses this insanity needs to lose his/her license. Period.

Oh, Walter Reed MD’s, is your malpractice insurance paid up?

Rubin has been mocked for claiming to be a “conservative blogger.” She now calls herself a “Never Trump, pro-democracy opinion writer.”
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center serves more than 150,000 active and retired individuals from all branches of the military. It admits 16,000 patients a year.
