The famous TV doctor, Dr. Drew Pinsky, defended Mike Pence last Thursday against fake news hysteria over Trump picking Pence to lead the Coronavirus response for the administration.

Here’s more from DC Examiner:
Dr. Drew Pinsky defended Vice President Mike Pence from criticism he has faced following his appointment to lead the U.S. response to the coronavirus outbreak.
Since President Trump named Pence to lead the charge last week, reporters and Democratic critics have resurfaced reports of what some have called an inadequate response to a public health crisis in Indiana during Pence’s time as governor of the state.
“I don’t know what they’re talking about,” Pinsky, an addiction medicine specialist, told Daily Blast Live late last week about the criticism Pence faced. “We used to point at the way Indiana responded to the opiate of the HIV epidemic as the model for the country. I don’t know what they’re talking about.”
Pinsky, a celebrity doctor who recently flirted with a congressional run against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, said Pence’s track record as Indiana governor was the reason he was confident in his abilities to lead the U.S. response.
“They handled them better than most states did, almost any other states,” Pinsky said. “So, I don’t know what the hell people are talking about. That is fake news.”
It’s kinda surprising to hear a media personality defending someone in the Trump administration. And even more so, that he called it fake news. Wow.
As they pointed out in the clip above, Dr. Drew also slammed the media for their absolute hysteria over the Coronavirus, saying they need to “shut up” about it. Here’s the full clip of that which went viral:
Dr. Drew was still 100% in agreement last Thursday with his comments from the beginning of February.
