Fox News’ chief political anchor Bret Baier pushed back on President Donald Trump’s claim that he had “total” authority over states’ decisions on whether to lift coronavirus stay at home orders and reopen their economies.
On The Daily Briefing With Dana Perino, Baier said, “First of all, the Constitution is pretty clear and Constitutional scholars will say that this is not the president flicking on the switch, it’s the governors and the local authorities that have that going forward. There is a hypocirsy here in that one. If President Obama had said those words that you heard from President Trump, that the authority is total with the presidency, conservatives heads would have exploded across the board.”
