Lara Trump skewered for saying U.S. was better off in March 2020 — when COVID-19 hit

Raw Story  

Americans have a message for Republicans like Lara Trump who keep arguing the nation was better off four years when it stood on the brink of a devastating global pandemic: stop trying to make that Ronald Reagan quote happen. Lara Trump, the Republican National Committee's newly elected co-chair, took to Fox News Tuesday to tout "massive resources" invested in an election integrity committee and her father-in-law Donald, the presidential candidate she supports. Charles Schultz reminded viewers of a crucial supply outage spurred by consumer panic in March 2020 "I have toilet paper paper now," he wrote. Sarah Rumpf shared the video clip with a GIF from "Mean Girls" when the film's antagonist Regina George snaps at one of her followers, "Stop trying to make fetch happen." But for historian and political commentator Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Lara Trump's most worrying comment was news of the "election integrity committee."
