Marked Change In Tone In CDC Meat Plant Reports Raises Questions | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

[dunkoh]

7 more months and we have an opportunity to get rid of the clown and his cronies. Vote in November!

[tyro]

This is what happens when all a President cares about is his own EGO. And hamberders.

[tuesdaypatience]

I live in Waterloo, Iowa: we have a large Tyson meat packing plant that just closed as the virus spread like crazy there and is now leading our county to have more cases than several STATES. And let’s be real, Tyson has not been trying to keep their employees safe. Our mayor, health department, and law enforcement had to plead with them to close down. We all realize that having Tyson closed is disrupting the food supply chain (from farm to table). On the other hand - *people are getting sick and spreading it throughout our community!* - this includes our many nursing homes. *People can live without bacon...they can’t live without their lungs.*

I would be looking at who owns the plants and how much they contribute to Trump!!

[margolenney]

The comparison is astounding. Please get to the bottom of this. The complete disregard for human life is insane.

[hollythorn]

This is what being a reporter looks like.
Digging in, investigating, revealing,
Facts.

[bobnewmanknott]

Whatever the actual reasons it will be the same root cause money and connections Keep up the good work Rachel America needs good investigative journalism ignore the Trump Trolls when it gets really close to them they will sing a different song

[blinkonceonsunday]

"If feasible, it is recommended that you consider keeping your workers alive." That seems to be the general interpretation.

[thomaswilson]

They don't care about lives, it's all about the money.

[richx]

Yep we really need to know what the Trump administration has done to disable a crucial cog.

[willstorm]

Rachel you and your colleagues may have the most important jobs since your reporting changes conditions on the ground and meat packers and their families hopefully get the benefits. This can have massive flow on for communities.

[buffysmith]

I think we know who is involved in this.

[jeongminyoun]

Someone is controlling CDC.... it is gonna be person who we are really familiar.

[johnedwardculp]

The House of Representatives can easily launch an investigation. That much they can do. We are worth it.

[tanjareen]

Vote Democrat like our lives depend on it...because they do.

[richardalevizosonemancorpo]

The only question it raises for me is: when will Donald Trump die?

[philandrea]

Somewhere there’s a worker/workers that are watching this. And praying you can. Their life depends on ppl like you guys.

[mcemct]

Seriously, Rachel. If I were the leader of this nation, you would work so close to my administration, that everyone would think that you were the President and I your faithful dog.

[emmanuelkofyagyapong]

They will figure it out for sure. See, this is why journalist like her are vital in this society!

[akeys]

Dictatorship happened, that's what went down.
