The story of the supply-chain group, a power center within the larger task force run by VP Pence, is one of chaos, secrecy and ineptitude, some officials say.

provided to NBC News by a nurse with the Kaiser Permanente hospital system in the San Francisco Bay Area describes the local version of the logistical nightmare created by the federal government swooping in at the last minute to take away medical equipment.

“Meanwhile, we continue to hear from our various suppliers and distributors that future shipments may be reduced due to FEMA or other federal reprioritization,” he wrote, referring questions to Cardinal Health, a multi-billion dollar Ohio-based company that manufactures many medical and surgical products.

At a White House press briefing March 20, the president appeared to refer to the opaque system for picking winners and losers. "We are at the 10-yard line for setting up a site next week," Robinson, an Air Force veteran, said then. “We write with deep concerns about the lack of clear coordination to procure and prioritize necessary personal protective equipment , ventilators, testing kits, and other critical medical resources to meet the United States’ need amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic,” three Democratic House committee chairs saidWednesday. “More can be done to leverage industry and researchers’ ability to help curb this pandemic.

You got slammed today NBC news at the press conference, best part about it you didn't show your two viewers the videos of all the fake news you put on your network.

Look at VP’s face! Maybe he’s finally realizing he is part of the worst administration in the history of the USA!

'SOME OFFICIALS'... ... LEFTOVER OBAMA APPOINTEES WANTING TO TRASH TRUMP (ALONG WITH NBC)

Three jackasses together

Fake news from the employees at nbc who are the “ enemy of the American people” look at the NAMES of these worthless POS and remember who they.

'Some officials' . . . again, another Irrational Hysterical Media NBC hit piece with no names sources, no confirmation, no comment sought from the Task Force, no discussion of the 'majority opinion' within the Task Force . . . only the discrediting comments of a minority.

You just described this administration .

AKMarkB Chaos, Secrecy and Ineptitude are the Secret Service code names for the three men in that picture.

GreatKellyB They don't care if we die. Trump and Republicans are killing Americans on purpose.

This should leave knows nothing. Since when do family members have a place on task force

gtconway3d I hope they all go to jail, except Fauci. ThisIsSoRepublican

“chaos, secrecy and ineptitude”...that pretty much sums up this entire administration. WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump

luckydoghot Profit over people

UROCKlive1 As the Corona Crisis narrative unfolds in first NYC and the rest of the US following it becomes painfully clear what the facts are and how ignorant Trump has been. TRUMP and his gang are responsible for the loss of many American lives and economic depression. DUMP TRUMP.

interesting. if we were talking eminent domain, people would get pennies on the dollar for their property from the government. But Dupont can fleece trump for PPE we helped them produce? during a pandemic? Everyone OK with that? Oh, and NAME THE DAMN OFFICIALS .

The GOP's goal is to flood the Federal Courts with partisan judges that will vote for the Republicans. If they don't use the poorly educated, deception, lies, Fake News, false prophets, foreign governments, gerrymandering, partisan judges, and suppressing votes they can't win.

Just for the record doesn’t NBC stand for No Brains Corp.

gtconway3d “Chaos, secrecy and ineptitude” should be realDonaldTrump’s 2020 campaign slogan.

wehearyouselling NBC

Their whole administration is a joke. Made up of idiots and monkeys 🐒.

What a surprise

I quess it's to much to ask or assume big business in all their millions and billions could come together and build/creat ventilators and mask and swabs in mass production in helping the people. Without worrying about their pocketbooks give and help the nation in time of urgency.

“Because a man in a suit will steal more money than any man with a gun” - Don Henley

What a team of colossal failures!

And it’s visible!

studentsabrina It is yet another revelation of the gopCrimeSyndicate.

Is this backed by facts or just a biased opinion! I wonder?

SOME OF YOUR MADE UP OFFICIALS

incompetent group dealing with the pandemia

gtconway3d In Indiana, vp and JeromeAdamsMD completely botched the task of dealing with an HIV crisis and it cost many unnecessary deaths. Who in their right mind would think they would do any better ? Anyone?

gtconway3d

gtconway3d Three fuckin clowns

gtconway3d 'No one has died yet at a hospital because he or she couldn’t get a ventilator, the source said.' This isn't quite true. It does explain lots of things Birx has said. The task force does not want to get blamed for vents not being delivered even when they are responsible for it.

Is this how realDonaldTrump jaredkushner IvankaTrump and others selling our nations vital stockpile of PPE to XHNews in a backroom deal and then blame BarackObama for leaving shelves empty

Some officials say. Who?

gtconway3d No one could see this coming. Amazing

Not only is Trump incompetent, most of his admin is as well.

Typical NBC propaganda. NBC is state tv significantly influenced by China. Enemy of truth.

DeniseDM5 This administration is a Deadly Joke. You need to report harder and louder about his nasty, worthless,inept ability to handle this disaster. Who says they will send supplies to hurting and dying people, only to receive none or outdated old supplies. Dictator Don needs to go

The WH diverts blame to China, the media, progressives, the impeachment, WHO while doing nothing to fight CV-XIX.

Sure, where is your Comcast admission with doing business with China

DeniseDM5 Not wanting to give them any ideas but what’s next? Cutting off the food supply chain, nothing would surprise me!

'Some say'

Some officials say Who

gtconway3d Can't fix stupid,,,

Keeping and managing supplies to pressure state leaders and foreign leaders into doing his bidding. Making sure all his family, friends, and anybody else he can influence and gain power for his position. Disgusting.

Trump's task force looks like the three stooges, only difference is that the stooges had some intelligence.

Why wasn’t the face masks and PPE replaced in the federal stock pile from the 2008,09 epidemic? Who was President during this time and why isn’t he being held accountable!!! It’s a good thing we shut down entrance from China and Europe into our country early? zenophobia

IvankaTrump fake boy toy looks like he just loaded his pants with lies

gtconway3d death to them all.

Girls girls girls, couldnt pastor pence stop thinking.

gtconway3d Reporting like this is absolutely essential! Let's all commit to living in reality by pulling back the curtain on realDonaldTrump

gtconway3d

He was cheering for the 'dead people '?

gtconway3d Look at these 3 losers. Hard to believe that people actually look to them for leadership.

How about we get those people who are saying it is a failure to come forward. Can we have the Specific names of officials? I guess the Governors of NY, California , Michigan etc. must be lying.

mupidoBOOBOO (And corruption)

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT PENCE IS IN CHARGE AND HE IS THE VP

Look at Trump and Pence's matching outfits.

materialculture Didn't Jared sort out the Middle East already!? Now it's Corona's turn Yaaay!!

DEALING

UROCKlive1 trump and jared are both sons of money makers which means they know squat of arranging anything. it was their fathers who knew every part of the process. they know how to give orders look at the balance and buy stuff. their kids know promoting botox and making nylon products.

UROCKlive1 All of the Trump cabal need to go... they are poisonous

Micro gesture experts: what is this expression in Jared’s face?

UROCKlive1 And money making

UROCKlive1 They are the most dangerous group that ever lived.

UROCKlive1 Yeah? We fucking NOTICED!

PROFITEERING!!!!!!!

gtconway3d TrumpOwnsEveryDeath

It’s all to enrich the trumps . The trumps and his admin. Need to ni investigated.

Another twisted news

“some officials” nobody believes anything you say anymore fake news 😂

Can we spell disaster?

gtconway3d This is garbage reporting.

gtconway3d SOME?

gtconway3d It will be a shitshow, but my main question is...will the pillow guy gonna be on it? And if he is are y’all sending us one those pillows with my stimulus money? 🛌 😴 🛏

gtconway3d This is to be expected when we have a government that honors wealth instead of expertise.

gtconway3d Intrinsic feature of TrumpCrimeSyndicate

gtconway3d The picture above was taken from the Webster Dictionary definition of inept.

The key word - some.

gtconway3d They all need arrested and tried and imprisoned

You have to read this article! Joe, another story on your lap to paste it on advertisements ! One after another ! Great job NBC

gtconway3d And why are we surprised?

selling ppe supplies to he highest bidder . supplies that should be denated and free.

NoDramaHere1 Just like the entire administration.

some officials? what officials? anyone who disagrees or just wants to corroborate a story you've already started writing? FakeNews What's to say you're not bribing for people to say this? LameStreamMedia

gtconway3d Read this article it reveals how Jared and his crew are showing favoritism for his wealthy friends and giving them contracts so they can make even more $$$. Just read about DuPont working hand and hand with Jared and selling PPE gowns for 15$+ instead of previous 5$

gtconway3d Why nepotism can be deadly.

The Mob 🤬

The entire country agrees. Could IvankaTrump please take her husband on vacation, a long long one.

gtconway3d We scratched our heads and shrugged our collective shoulders to realDonaldTrump's response to the PuertoRico debacle. No one should be surprised - NO ONE‼️ COVID__19 TrumpIsACompleteFailure

gtconway3d Failed Son-in-Law

Imagine that

The 3 stooges in acción

twchristi Trump White House: We're not going to help you so just play typhoid epidemic. . And remember we have families too but it hey we get gold plated medical care. So we'll all emote as if we care and Trump will lie his fat arse off.

gtconway3d Not wanted

More unnamed sources. BS.

jcmarbury What makes matters really bad is that trump's ego never allowed him to hire people who are intellectually or morally superior to him. Hence his administration is headed by incompetent sycophants which is bad on a good day and a disaster in a crisis. We are truly fucked.

Chaos an ineptitude can bee seen by everyone.

gtconway3d Hey realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse VP If you need any help with the pandemic response supply chain let me know, I know a few people. DMs are open. QuitFuckingItUp

gtconway3d Why are the meetings of the Task Force classified? Why would they be classified? Inquiring minds want to know.

gtconway3d I'm surprised it's only some officials.

Follow the money. Have these same companies been making donations to the Trump campaign?

gtconway3d Nepotism. What could go wrong?

gtconway3d Any team run with fear and by a leader (Trump, maybe Pence) who’s vindictive & tosses people under the bus, is going to perform poorly!

gtconway3d Look a picture of 3 idiots...

gtconway3d So, business as usual?

'Some officials say'? So sad the depths to which The Media has sunk no credibility

gtconway3d Not news to anyone paying attention

gtconway3d Trump casts himself as pandemic patron, personalizing the government’s spread of cash and supplies

Some officials say WHO FakeNews as always from NBC

gtconway3d It’s just another crazy day in the a Trump household... The GOP is in complete chaos! The narcissistic sociopath president goes on tv rants and giving misinformation! Disgusting!! This nation needs to permanently remove him! NotMyPresident

Fake News!!!!

I’m shocked !!! Incompetence & ineptitude?

FakeNews

From the No Body Cares network?

Idk why this little snot nosed punk is even on the task force is he an expert --- NO -- he is JUST the Presidents son in law and really Ivanka you coulda shoulda done better Sugar just saying.

gtconway3d Mike pence is a stupid man working for a syphilis brained authoritarian. Pence is a ghost of towns past. helpmemothr

JessicaGirardo That photo is ripe for captions.

gtconway3d

gtconway3d Corruption and lies

Still better than this mook

gtconway3d This post and article is pure bull shit.

gtconway3d Come on! This is run by a family of grifters. Should we be surprised? Would love to know what the profit opportunities are/have been/will be for trump/Kushner family members. Sure they are racking up illicit profits

gtconway3d We have military air transports. We’re already paid for the equipment and salaried personnel. Whom have great benefits. All we need is the fuel. And currently, jet fuel is the cheapest it’s ever been. Why are we hiring fed x at $10,000 an hour to fly to Vietnam fo gowns?

gtconway3d Now why wld there be secrets? I think, since they should be aware by now...these 'Task Force ' members shld be VERY cautious. Knowing every move they are making currently will be scrutinized and dissected by alot more INTELLIGENT individuals soon!

gtconway3d Yeah well they haven’t seemed to be very good at any of this government administrating type stuff for the last three plus years.

61Mudu VP has proven incapable of running the show. Jared and Ivanka should be nowhere near any of it! Call in a Military commander and let that person take charge!

gtconway3d The combined IQ of said “task force” is 2, so it being a complete cluster is unsurprising.

gtconway3d Who is that mask at the podium? 😱

gtconway3d

gtconway3d I’m shocked that the former governor of Indiana who screwed up and made the HIV epidemic in his own state worse, would screw up with this coronavirus pandemic. Shocked I tells ya!

gtconway3d My god they are thieves. No immunity for jarred lock him up

gtconway3d There is no virus, we are being invaded by aliens and this pic of the Kush is 100% evidence of such. Wow, that is not a human...

gtconway3d Pence's specialty is discriminating against gays. That was his claim to fame as Indiana governor.

gtconway3d Sometimes I get caught up in how morally corrupt these people are and I forget that they are utterly incompetent.

gtconway3d Gossip

gtconway3d Blow it up. Appoint a military man to get the job done.

gtconway3d Three stooges.

gtconway3d If no one has expertise it’s going to fail. Being president isn’t a job with on the job training in government and civics. THOSE ARE PREREQUISITES

gtconway3d

gtconway3d Americans will stand up against them and their confusion

gtconway3d ClusterTrump.

gtconway3d

Following 70 days of calling the coming pandemic a hoax, Trump's grifter in law is elbowing his way into the middle of our public health supply chain to self deal for family and friends. Disgusting people.

Elect a clown, get a circus. TrumpFailed clustertrump WhereAreTheTests

This is what happens when The Three Stooges try to lead something this complex. Their incompetence shines through bigly. November cannot come soon enough.

Duh 🙄

How long will military sit ideally by & let this guy destroy America 🇺🇸 down to her bare-ass...WHAT WE DOIN?

Even the son in law is a goober.

Sources and officials. You amateurs did not name even ONE legitimate source. And you wonder why the public thinks NBC cannot be trusted? How can you not be embarrassed by your own ineptitude?

RT : The story of the supply-chain group, a power center within the larger task force run by VP Pence, is one of chaos, secrecy and ineptitude, some officials say.

Notice he won't touch the lectern after his father-in-law stood at...Jared does not know where realDonaldTrump hands were prior to briefing. He is always grabbing something.

This is just embarrassing.

Anonymous sources = Fake News.

THIS is why NOONE WATCHES NBC

Who is your source? Don Lemon? 😂

Name them.

Any time you have 'some officials say', its the same as 'we made it up'

And wasteful small jet planes cargo vs DeptofDefense aircraft designed for large quantities

When do you dedicate some time to what is going well? What would past Presidents have done?
