Pandemics “are not easy situations to deal with and to require perfection of anybody in this, whether it’s Joe Biden or Donald Trump, I think is unfair,” Fox News contributor Karl Rove told “Outnumbered Overtime” on Wednesday. The former George W. Bush adviser was responding to newly released audio of President Trump telling The Washington Post's Bob Woodward in February that the coronavirus was "deadly" -- even as he publicly played down the effects of the spreading pandemic. WOODWARD BOOK: TRUMP PRIVATELY CALLED COVID-19 'DEADLY' EARLY ON, BOASTED OF SECRET WEAPONS SYSTEM“Every president does a Bob Woodward book and gives him plenty of interviews and then later comes to regret it, and this is probably one of those instances,” Rove told host Harris Faulkner Wednesday. “What if the president had said at that point things that had sparked a panic?” Rove asked. Fox News’ Andrew O’Reilly contributed to this report.
