Press briefing with Donald Trump begins.
The president said: “Churches and mosques are places that provide essential services …I call upon governors to open houses of worship right now … these are places that hold our society together. People are demanding to go to church, to synagogue, to the mosque.”
In one of his short speech, he blasted the governors by stating that:
“Some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics essential, but have left out churches ... it’s not right. So I am correcting this injustice and am calling houses of worship essential,” the president said.
The president just demanded places of worship reopen for in-person services and he talked about guidelines being issued for “communities of faith”.
He wants them open “for this weekend”. Called upon governors to life quarantine restrictions relating to religious gathering places.
“If they do not do it I will override the governors,” he said.
He then turned on his heel and left the White House press briefing room without taking any questions.
Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany then brought up Deborah Birx, response coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, to the podium for an expert briefing.
