Dems & The Media Prove Rush Limbaugh Right And Are Creating Panic Using The Coronavirus
Right on cue after Rush Limbaugh warned the Democrats were going to try and use the Coronavirus to take down Trump, less than 24 hours later they proved him right. From CNN to the Democrats in the House and the Senate, the onslaught was almost comical after Limbaugh’s warning if it wasn’t such a serious matter.
During his show on Monday Limbaugh said:
Folks, this coronavirus thing, I want to try to put this in perspective for you. It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump.
…
The Drive-By Media hype of this thing as a pandemic, as the Andromeda strain, as, “Oh, my God, if you get it, you’re dead.” Do you know what the — I think the survival rate is 98%. Ninety-eight percent of people get the coronavirus survive.
…
But the way it’s being used… I believe the way it’s being weaponized is by virtue of the media, and I think that it is an effort to bring down Trump, and one of the ways it’s being used to do this is to scare the investors, to scare people in business. It’s to scare people into not buying Treasury bills at auctions. It’s to scare people into leaving, cashing out of the stock market — and sure enough, as the show began today, the stock market — the Dow Jones Industrial Average — was down about 900 points, supposedly because of the latest news about the spread of the coronavirus.
…
It’s one of the latest in a long line of efforts that the Drive-By Media’s making to somehow say that Trump and capitalism are destroying America and destroying the world.
As if right on cue Democrats in the House and Senate began attacking the President.
Here are just a few examples….
President Trump and his administration have no plan to deal with the coronavirus.
NO.
PLAN.
And seemingly no urgency to develop one. pic.twitter.com/nQFMpMfW06

Your regular reminder that @realDonaldTrump proposes cuts to:
And @POTUS already eliminated the @WhiteHouse pandemic position. This is not leadership by Trump. It’s stupidity. #TuesdayThoughts https://t.co/zmO13TEVrm

This morning’s classified coronavirus briefing should have been made fully open to the American people—they would be as appalled & astonished as I am by the inadequacy of preparedness & prevention.

I didn’t just criticize Pres. Trump’s pathetic, inadequate funding request
I noted his incompetence, how he has no plan to deal with coronavirus
He’s dismantled NSC’s global health security team, wants to cut CDC by 16%, hasn’t appointed 1 person to oversee coronavirus response https://t.co/i4CIx1ZGMr

Weeks after the #TrumpBudget called for slashing the CDC budget during this coronavirus epidemic, this undersized funding request shows an ongoing failure to understand urgent public health needs.

But it was just the Democrats, it was also their friends at CNN, below is a screenshot of CNN’s homepage.
Note there are seven stories having to do with the coronavirus. But it wasn’t just CNN…
MSNBC
NEW: Top public health officials say Americans should prepare for the spread of the coronavirus in communities across the US.
“It’s not so much a question of if this will happen any more, but rather more a question of exactly when,” CDC official says. https://t.co/lIvvicWCus

What Donald Trump doesn’t know about the coronavirus is, well, a lot.https://t.co/tD2yTy50P7

I could go on but you get the point. It seems that the Democrats and the media are only satisfied if the country is thrown into chaos, what they are doing is dangerous and could lead to unnecessary panic; all because of their hatred for Donald Trump.
