The Illinois Democrat told CNN’s “State of the Union” that the president’s speech Friday in South Dakota “spent more time worrying about honoring the dead Confederates” than the number of Americans killed by COVID-19.
He also criticized the president for not spending so much time discussing intelligence that Russia offered rewards to Taliban-linked militants for killing members of the US military in Afghanistan.
“I mean, your priorities are all wrong here,” he said. “You should be talking about what we will do to overcome this pandemic. What are we going to do to push Russia back?
“Instead, he didn’t have time for that,” he added. “He spent all his time talking about dead traitors.”

“I am more concerned with 130,000, who have recently lost their lives and the thousands upon thousands of Americans who are currently sick than I am about our historical past,” Duckworth said.
