Enjoy.)Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats were caught lying about President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus. The rest of the mainstream media is also parroting those same lies, and all of them are attempting to panic the American people. Well, now the truth is coming back to bite them. Don’t miss this.
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats candidates for president have all been using the same bogus talking points to discredit President Trump and panic Americans when it comes to the coronavirus and what Trump’s done to prepare for it.
“Any emergency funding supplemental the Congress approves must be entirely new funding—not stolen from other accounts,” said Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in a joint statement.
Trump has pointed out we have millions that were not used by the team which was working on the Ebola virus. There’s no reason the president can’t use that money just sitting there. It’s preposterous.
There have been bogus accusations the CDC has been defunded and vital positions have been left vacant.
“Up until now, The Trump administration has mounted an opaque and often chaotic response to this outbreak,” Pelosi said at her Thursday morning press conference. “They left critical positions vacant in charge of managing pandemics at the National Security Council and the Department of Homeland Security. They left them vacant—they dismissed the people and never filled the spots,” she said.
“There’s nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing. And [Trump’s] defunded — he’s defunded Centers for Disease Control, CDC, so we don’t have the organization we need. This is a very serious thing,” Mike Bloomberg said at the debate Tuesday night.
Joe Biden compared the Obama-Biden administration with now: “We increased the budget of the CDC. We increased the NIH budget. … [Trump’s] wiped all that out. … He cut the funding for the entire effort.”
The Associated Press reports:
THE FACTS: They’re both wrong to say the agencies have seen their money cut. Bloomberg is repeating the false allegation in a new ad that states the U.S. is unprepared for the virus because of “reckless cuts” to the CDC. Trump’s budgets have proposed cuts to public health, only to be overruled by Congress, where there’s strong bipartisan support for agencies such as the CDC and NIH.
Instead, financing has increased.
Some public health experts say a bigger concern than White House budgets is the steady erosion of a CDC grant program for state and local public health emergency preparedness — the front lines in detecting and battling new disease.
But that decline was set in motion by a congressional budget measure that predates Trump.
“The CDC’s response has been excellent, as it has been in the past,” said John Auerbach, president of the nonpartisan Trust for America’s Health, which works with government at all levels to improve the nation’s response to high-risk health crises. Some Democrats have charged that Trump decimated the nation’s public health leadership, but Auerbach said CDC’s top scientific ranks have remained stable during the past three years.
The media has been backing up the Democrats and making wild accusations of their own.
“Let’s Call It Trumpvirus,” the New York Times reports. “If you’re feeling awful, you know who to blame.” The piece goes on to trash Trump by calling him unequipped to handle the crisis.
That’s right, these idiots are infected by Trump Derangement Syndrome so severely that even when America has a real crisis they politicize it hoping to hurt Trump.
Meanwhile, CNN was upset claiming Trump’s coronavirus team is “racist.”
“Coronavirus task force another example of Trump administration’s lack of diversity,” CNN‘s headline blared. “Who are these experts? They’re largely the same sorts of white men (and a couple women on the sidelines) who’ve dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning.”
Trump’s team is made up of world-renowned experts which were recommended to him by the CDC. Of course, CNN is never going to report that. The only thing the mainstream media cares about is making Americans believe Trump is a racist in the long term, and in the short term, he isn’t doing a good job with the coronavirus.
They just can’t handle that Trump is very well prepared, and that’s why they must be called out for what they really are: immoral haters who care nothing for the truth.
