Fox News commentator Howard Kurtz ripped an opinion piece in the USA Today that called for coronavirus victims to be buried at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. Kurtz said the piece is an insult to families who have lost loved ones.
“No matter who had been president last year, the death toll from COVID-19 would have been high. You can argue whether it’ll be higher or lower and that sort of thing,” said Kurtz. “This piece is offensive on about 12 different levels.”
The author of the piece, Jason Sattler, has made it his business to write anti-Trump pieces for the last several months. Sattler resides in Michigan and sits on the USA Today’s Board of Contributors.
“I mean, this piece is offensive on about 12 different levels, for Jason Sattler to argue that we should go bury all the victims of COVID-19 at Mar-A-Lago,” the Fox News media analyst told “America’s Newsroom.”
