The National Journal on Friday profiled Senator Thom Tillis and the unique, bipartisan approach that he is taking to protecting the physical and economic health of North Carolina and the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The National Journal noted how Tillis is:

"Touting bipartisan credentials from his days as a legislative leader and private-sector consultant. While cases have been leveling off in North Carolina, Tillis has told anyone who will listen that a slower, evidence-based approach is necessary to reopening his home state and the country."

In the brief appearance Cal Cunningham made in the story, he was caught lying again about Senator Tillis' COVID-19 response record, falsely claiming Tillis has not been pressing the Trump administration on testing.

"'He will not--he will not--ask tough questions of this administration … even appropriately difficult questions about making sure we are driving resources toward [personal protective equipment] and testing,' Cunningham said. Tillis earlier this year pressed the administration for more testing equipment as cases continued to mount."
