Two more Trump campaign staffers test positive for coronavirus after Tulsa rally

Right before Trump’s weekend rally in Tulsa, OK, it was reported that six campaign staffers had tested positive for COVID-19. Since then the campaign has revealed two more staff members tested positive and they were both at rally but wearing masks. At that rally, President Trump said he told his staff to slow down testing for the virus in order to keep the number of cases down. But his administration is now saying his comments were just “tongue-in-cheek.” William Haseltin, Chair and President of ACCESS Health International, tells Anderson Cooper closing the economy during the pandemic is not the answer but being careful is. Plus, Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono joins AC360 to react to the President calling the deadly virus the “Kung flu.”
