AP Confirms: Democrats Are Lying to the Public About Coronavirus

“An Associated Press fact check confirms what Breitbart News reported earlier this week: that Democrat presidential candidates are falsely claiming that President Donald Trump cut funding and personnel needed to fight coronavirus.

On Tuesday, Breitbart News fact-checked “mostly false” claims by former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg during the Democrat debate in South Carolina. Bloomberg claimed that Trump had “fired” a pandemic specialist at the White House, and “defunded” the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The implication: Trump was to blame for the spread of coronavirus — even though there have been just over a dozen cases and no fatalities in the U.S.”

“ The truth: the pandemic specialist had left voluntarily during a reorganization of the bloated National Security Council (NSC), and the CDC cuts — as the agency wound down its Ebola response — were only proposed, not enacted.

The AP confirmed Thursday, in an article titled “AP FACT CHECK: Democrats distort coronavirus readiness,” that much of what Democrats are saying about Trump’s response to the coronavirus challenge is simply not true.”

    Stop it. The corona virus is getting hyped just like every other comparable outbreak has been hyped, irregardless of whoever is in office.

    Are some Democrats politicizing it? Of course.

    But everything isn't a conspiracy against Trump. Some things are just because alarmism sells.

    They have zero to run on. If they can show a downturn in the economy because Trump didn't act (a lie) it'll help them.

    "Rear Adm. Tim Ziemer, the head of global health security on the White House’s National Security Council, left the Trump administration on Tuesday. The news was announced one day after an Ebola outbreak was declared in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

    The departure comes amid a reshuffling of the NSC under newly named national security adviser John Bolton, which includes a change in organizational structure that eliminates the office Ziemer led. Ziemer’s staff has been placed under other NSC departments.

    Ziemer, who had been described as 'one of the most quietly effective leaders in public health,' was widely lauded in the global health community for his work on the President’s Malaria Initiative, which helped save 6 million lives, before joining this administration.

    'Admiral Ziemer’s departure is deeply alarming, especially when the administration is actively working to cut funds that addressed past pandemics like Ebola,' Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.), the vice ranking member of the foreign affairs committee, told HuffPost in a statement. 'Expertise like his is critical in avoiding large outbreaks.'”

    I’m on record that the President gets too much credit and too much blame for the economy. Only you folks who need a strong father figure try to attribute the American economy to the President. You would have been perfectly content under Stalin too.
