WATCH: Trump begs press to congratulate him for a ‘great job’ for coronavirus testing crisis
At Monday’s coronavirus press briefing, when Fox News’ Kristin Fisher tried to ask President Donald Trump about problems with testing, the president lost his temper with her and began berating her for not congratulating him for how he has been handling the pandemic.
“You should say ‘congratulations, great job’ instead of being so horrid in the way you ask a question,” said Trump.
It was the second time in the day’s press conference that Trump went after a woman in the press pool for the tone of her question.

Right-wing militia spokeswoman defends lynching of Kentucky governor in effigy: Protesting ‘is not the answer any longer’
A group of right-wing protesters held a demonstration in front of the house of Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear's mansion this Sunday, at one point hanging an effigy of the governor on a tree in what looked to be a mock lynching. According to CNN, the protest was advertised on Facebook as a Patriot Day Rally to exercise Second Amendment rights.
The backlash against the group's actions was swift, with even Mitch McConnell slamming the move as "unacceptable."
"There is no place for hate in Kentucky," he tweeted.

Trump’s policies could come back to haunt him as he struggles to save his presidency from COVID-19: columnist
In a column for Washington Monthly, Annie Kim suggested that Donald Trump will likely be handcuffed by his own economic policies as he attempts to deal with the collapse of the U.S. economy in large part due to the coronavirus pandemic that raged out of control on his watch.
With close to 40 million Americans now unemployed and the president's administration pumping trillions into the economy to keep the country afloat as businesses shutter, Kim suggested that Trump is in a major bind of his own making that could cost him re-election.
