Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 19, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 10, 2020

Tweet - "If you have a helicopter ready to whisk you to a hospital with a private suite waiting for you... don't be afraid. If live with a resident staff of 30 doctors & nurses... don't be afraid. If you have access to drugs rarely available to ordinary Americans... don't be afraid."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 6, 2020

Oct. 5, 2020
Tweet - "After downplaying the virus for months, the President is in the hospital & 210,000+ Americans have died from #COVID19. Pres. Trump's decision to go for a drive around Walter Reed shows he's still not taking this virus seriously. We need science & leadership, not political stunts."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 5, 2020
Tweet - "The President could use his diagnosis & new pre-existing condition to share public health guidance, defend health coverage, & save lives. We've already lost too many Americans to this deadly virus because of a failure of leadership. Sadly--his tweet completely misses the mark."

Tweet - "After downplaying the virus for months, the President is in the hospital & 210,000+ Americans have died from #COVID19. Pres. Trump's decision to go for a drive around Walter Reed shows he's still not taking this virus seriously. We need science & leadership, not political stunts."

Tweet - "The President could use his diagnosis & new pre-existing condition to share public health guidance, defend health coverage, & save lives. We've already lost too many Americans to this deadly virus because of a failure of leadership. Sadly--his tweet completely misses the mark."
