>> even without the presidential bully pulpit, donald trump with the snap of his fingers could say or do the right thing to keep people out of harm's way. his people. he could have done that with qanon. but of course, he didn't. just today, he is sending out threats against a police officer who protected the capitol from ashli babbitt, as we talked about earlier. and so now, with the delta variant ravaging states where people overwhelmingly voted for him, trump could yell from every right-wing tv outlet in america about the importance of getting vaccinated. he could hold vaccination drives in those hardest hit states. in fact, the daily beast is reporting that some of his closest allies are begging him to mount some sort of pro-vaccine campaign. but the former president has shown little interest in tying his name to broader efforts to get people inoculated. which really should not be surprising. trump's callous inaction as president at the beginning of the pandemic led to hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths.
