It was a rare moment in our current political climate – a GOP politician admitting error, and on Fox News no less. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday night that he was wrong when he said the Obama administration didn’t leave behind a playbook to deal with a pandemic.

“I was wrong — they did leave behind a plan. So I clearly made a mistake in that regard.” Sen. Mitch McConnell

On Monday, McConnell said the Obama administration “did not leave to this administration any kind of game plan for something like this,” referring to the coronavirus crisis.

CNN writes:

“Facts First: Obama’s White House National Security Council left the Trump administration a detailed document on how to respond to a pandemic. The document, whose existence was publicly revealed by Politico in March, is called the Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.”We literally left them a 69-page Pandemic Playbook…. that they ignored,” Ronald Klain, a campaign adviser to Democratic candidate Joe Biden and the former Obama administration Ebola response coordinator, wrote on Twitter.“
