I though I heard Mark Steyn, subbing for Rush, say something about no mention of the coronavirus in the Dem debates (at least before the March debate btw Biden and Bernie). Did I hear that right? Since I didn't watch any of the debates, I can't say one way or the other.
I DO remember Nancy Pelosi going to SF's Chinatown in February and urging folks to go out to dinner.
Here is one from Feb
Yes, it was mentioned in March, long after Trump shutdown China flights.
But was it mentioned in December, Jan, or February - when the Dems now say that Trump wasn’t doing enough? Were the Dems even talking about the virus during those months?
“Impeachment” and destroying Trump was the only “important” news.
Correct...no mention of the virus in the debate, but it is Trump’s fault.
I also sent you a link to an article regarding the Feb debate
Democrat Debates Ignored Coronavirus Almost Entirely Before Feb. 25
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/03/16/democrat-debate-coronavirus/
President Donald Trump first mentioned coronavirus on Jan. 22, after it was brought up in a press conference. Vice President Mike Pence discussed it more extensively on Jan. 27. The president imposed a China travel ban Jan. 31.
On Feb. 4, President Trump mentioned coronavirus in his State of the Union address, which was torn up by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Congress was still in the midst of the impeachment trial until Feb. 5.
Democrats did not mention the coronavirus much at all, and it did not come up in the presidential primary debate in Iowa (Jan. 14). Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg referred to it indirectly in the New Hampshire debate (Feb. 7): “The next president is going to face challenges from global health security, like what we’re seeing coming out of China.”
It did not come up in Nevada (Feb. 19). It was first discussed somewhat extensively by the candidates in the South Carolina debate (Feb. 25), which is also when a moderator finally asked candidates about it.
Maybe. But I do know that American flags weren’t present at the Bernie/Slow Joe debate. Didn’t want to upset the other commies.
It was mentioned in the State of the Union....We know what Nancy thought of that....All Lies she said.
thank you for that reference material, and breitbart article
I watched parts of almost all their debates. “Know the enemy” is my motto.
The Democrats are a collection of petty “grievance groups” with nothing to offer the national electorate.
It was sexism,racism,climate change,and defending the interests of illegal foreigners, in the earlier debates.
The Democrats are toast,because their coalition is “unsustainable” and Joe Biden is a bonehead with dementia.
No, but it was mentioned in the SOTU speech on February 4, 2020, four days after shutting flights in/out of China down, which led to Trump being called a racist, a xenophobe and accused of over-reacting.
I don’t recall either, how long the SOTU was delayed....about a week , iirc.
Originally scheduled for Jan 29th but Nancy canelled that and wrote to him on January 23rd to pick another date....and they agreed on Feb 5th.
Why, of course. Don’t you remember? Biden et al were all going around trying their best to get Trump’s attention re the soon-to-be pandemic. It was to Biden’s credit that Trump even bothered to notice. Biden woke the lazy Trump up from his slumber. If Biden was President there would be no sick Americans, and the majority of the World would have been spared too. Yes, Biden for President to save us. Thank God for Biden, our next savior. The planet is doomed with Trump. Biden can save us. Only Democrats can pull us out of certain catastrophe. Listen to CNN/NBC/CBS/ABC/MSNBC/NPR/PBS/WP/NYT/et al if you question this wisdom.
