All right, thank you, Anderson, and thank you for helping us remember the right things the right way.

I am Chris Cuomo. Welcome to Primetime.

Look, we have to be on the same page about reality. The pandemic will be with us for a while. Period.

Every place that ignores that reality and the recommended masks and measures will suffer.

We see it time and again. We have to hear and accept this and act on it because you and I, we are the key.

You have to take care of yourself and by doing that I thank you because it helps protect me and my family.

Forget Trump. He does not want what the rest of us must want right now with this pandemic.

Believe who he has shown you he is for the umpteenth time. Of course he lies about testing and invites

people to gather at their own peril. He values praise over your protection, even in Arizona where

cases are popping. He didn't even talk about it. Look, of course Trump continues to call COVID-19

the Kung Flu. He is a demagogue who plays to bigotry. He wants you to blame the Chinese and see them

as an other. That's what and who he is. Take it from someone who's known him most of my adult life.

That's who he's always been. If any of you want this country to come close to its promise,

forget about me needing to call out the obvious. You must reject the bigotry. You must demand that a

president get this poison of us versus them out of his mendacity, written more. There is no debate.

He is a demagogue. That's not an argument. It is a fact. Deny lie defy. This is what he does.

Once and always his plan is simple. Divide us and conquer a second term. If you do not like him or

that, don't vote for him. That's your choice. But know this. If you do support him, you own

all of what he says and does. He put more effort into a wall that was grossly oversold as a fix

for immigration and refused to do the things he could have early on and said all the worst things

he could to expose more of us to this virus. You own that. There is no question he could have done

more and better and chose not to. And we are all paying the price. Period. It is not an opinion.
