"This is the moment when the White House's lack of credibility becomes an immediate crisis"

Unfortunately, the greatest impact of the lack of credibility from the President and the White House is on the average American. In moments of crisis, people -- whatever their partisan leanings -- look to our elected leaders for leadership. That includes bringing calm and reassurance to a frightened public.

That can't happen in this White House because so much of what the President and his top aides have said -- about coronavirus among many, many other topics -- has been either misleading or outright false.

That's a loss for all of us. And a reminder that actions (and elections) have consequences.
