Democratic California Rep. John Garamendi appeared to threaten Donald Trump Jr. during a Friday morning interview on MSNBC.
Garamendi told host Hallie Jackson more than once that Trump Jr., who has suggested that some Democrats would prefer a pandemic so that they could blame it on President Donald Trump, should not make such comments in his presence.
“He better not get close to me,†Garamendi said during a portion of the media appearance.
Garamendi began by addressing his main concerns about the potential spread of coronavirus, saying that the CDC had not been prepared early enough to handle the situation.
“I — you’re very — I think it’s coming through the screen you’re angry, you’re obviously visibly emotional about this,†Jackson responded, noting that there were some reports that the White House was working to control the messaging on the spread of the virus.
“Can you talk through some of that?†she asked.
