'Don't let him rewrite history': GOP ex-congressman slams Trump for painting fewer than 100,000 COVID-19 deaths as a victory

At Wednesday's coronavirus task force press conference, President Donald Trump reiterated his claim that if fewer than 100,000 Americans die from COVID-19, it will be a victory for him.


Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) had none of it.

Walsh, who was elected in the "tea party" wave of 2010 and served a single term, has emerged as one of the president's most consistent critics from the right, frequently blasting him as unfit for office. He mounted a brief primary challenge to Trump, and is backing former Vice President Joe Biden in November.
