Alyssa Alexandra Farah serves as White House Director of Strategic Communications and somehow thought tweeting about keeping reporters “on their toes” while including a wink emoji was a good idea after more than fifty-six thousand Americans have died from the coronavirus pandemic. That’s a pretty soulless thing to tweet for the Pentagon press secretary, who is apparently devoid of any empathy or compassion. It’s par for the course with this administration, though.
I screen captured the tweet because I assumed she would eventually delete it, and as it happens, others took screenshots, too. Farah replaced her tweet with a lie to tout testing in the US for COVID-19, but she doesn’t understand the words “per capita,” apparently.
.@realDonaldTrump has led a historic effort to rapidly scale up testing across the nation & meet the unprecedented challenge posed by the coronavirus. The U.S. has conducted more than 5 million tests, far surpassing any other nation. More information on testing to come today.

Wait. I thought that the conference was to own reporters.
Because, with almost 60,000 people dead in the US, that definitely seems like the right priority. pic.twitter.com/5zVgP2Kebe— Andrew Murphy (@amurphous) April 27, 2020
These people are so tone deaf!

She deleted it. Can’t erase cyber space. She’s a piece of human garbage. Trying to be cute and funny when over 50,000 Americans are dead.

As for Farah’s replacement tweet, she got schooled by the Internet.

Five million tests don’t even come close to the twenty-seven million COVID-19 tests the White House promised would be administered by the end of March. Farah is about thirty-one years old, by the way. And Donald Trump is 73-years-old going on 13. Farah is a good fit for this disgusting administration. It’s a shame she will have a huge blemish on her record after tying herself to the most corrupt administration in history. Congrats, girl.
