Chris Evans calls out Trump for refusing to answer questions on coronavirus
March 16, 2020
Hollywood star Chris Evans has criticised US President Donald Trump for refusing to answer media questions regarding coronavirus.
The Captain America star took to Twitter to call out the president after Trump spoke briefly about the disease, then turned the microphone over to Vice President Mike Pence, who is leading the White House task force on COVID-19.
The media interaction was taking place on Sunday at a news conference.
Evans tweeted that the nation needs more from its leader who he said ran off stage after his rambling press conference.
"Te president just ran off stage after his rambling press conference without answering a single question. America wants answers. America wants leadership. America doesn’t want a president who runs off stage during a crisis and lets Mike Pence do all the talking," his tweet read.
