While states and frontline healthcare workers were pleading for personal protective equipment, testing supplies and other resources to protect them and their patients, President Trump's response was to let states fight it out on the open…

I am very critical of the administration in terms of their, I call it incompetence with the supply chain, with lack of testing.

Our top priority is the health and safety of the American people.

The HEROES Act continues our ongoing commitment to providing the healthcare resources and support needed to combat the coronavirus crisis.

Instead of showing leadership, competence, and vision in a time of crisis, the administration has abdicated its responsibility and forced States to fend for themselves and find their own way out of this pandemic.

I regret that Secretary Azar, Dr. Robert Kadlec, and Dr. Peter Navarro have all refused to testify today.

We can't have a system where the government fires those who get it right and reward those who get it completely wrong.

We can't have a system where the price paid is unconscionable--mothers losing daughters, daughters losing fathers because of incompetence, denial, delay, and a disorganized response.

The promises have been hollow--testing is getting better, but nowhere near where it needs to be.

President Trump and his Administration have failed to provide the consistent and stable leadership that is necessary to guide our nation through this public health and economic crisis.

Our country is paying a terrible price today, and it rests on Congress to address this threat.

Dr. Bright, your allegations are serious, and they deserve a real investigation.
