Fox News host Steve Hilton said ineptitude at the top levels of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was partially to blame for shutdowns in the United States that have led to one of the worst financial crises in decades in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
"The reason we couldn’t contain the outbreak and had to shut down our economy was because we didn’t have tests that worked right at the start," Hilton said Sunday. "Who screwed that up? No, not the evil Trump, but the saintly public sector CDC, the technocrats. Again, has there ever been a more catastrophic case of technocrat bungling?"
Hilton went a step further, calling for CDC Director Robert Redfield to be removed from his post.
"Why is this man, by the way, still in his job?" Hilton asked. "Dr. Death and Destruction, Robert Redfield of the CDC. Now we do have testing; it's because Trump got rid of regulation so the private sector could do it."
