On MSNBC Saturday, medical expert Dr. Joseph Fair suggested that President Donald Trump's pressers themselves are putting America at risk — because he is misinforming the public and a number of his supporters will believe every word of his speeches.
"We get conflicting messages between what's happening on the ground versus what you see in a White House briefing," said Fair, speaking with host Ali Velshi. "And that leads to, you know, half of the people not taking this seriously because, you know, there are cult-like followers of every White House briefing, they take every word of that for truth."
"All you have to do is walk into a hospital to see that that is not the reality on the ground, and so you listen to your troops on the ground if you're in a war, and we're in a wartime situation with this disease," added Fair.
