I'd say that this has been the sentiment of a majority of commenters, and certainly its author, on this blog

Governor Kristi Noem lays out the truth

Hannity had South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on his program to talk about the quote from Biden advisor Anita Dunn, who called the coronavirus pandemic "the best thing that ever happened" to President Biden.

Noem’s response:

I gave my people all the information I had, told them I trusted them, and gave them personal responsibility to make the best decision for their families. And allowed them to put food on the tables too.

What Anita Dunn said here confirmed exactly what I've been saying for months, is that the media and democrats were using this virus to promote fear and a political agenda. They wanted to scare people in order to control them. And they did it to push an agenda where really they could take over this country and change what America looks like. So we need to wake up and understand that this was calculated, it was on purpose. What she said confirms what we have thought and have said out loud for many, many months. And it should be alarming to the everyday hard working Americans who really do love this country.

Noem for President
