News outlets are falsely reporting that health officials blamed President Trump’s in-person rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma last month for a rise in coronavirus cases.
The Associated Press posted a story titled, “Health official: Trump rally ‘likely’ source of virus surge.”
The AP cited Tulsa City-County Health Department Director Dr. Bruce Dart, who never directly mentioned the Trump rally and said there were “several large events” that may have contributed to the spike in cases.
“Tulsa County reported 261 confirmed new cases on Monday, a one-day record high, and another 206 cases on Tuesday,” the report said.
“Although the health department’s policy is to not publicly identify individual settings where people may have contracted the virus, Dart said those large gatherings “more than likely” contributed to the spike,” the AP wrote.
Dart said: “In the past few days, we’ve seen almost 500 new cases, and we had several large events just over two weeks ago, so I guess we just connect the dots.”

Here's the best tagline I've seen in a while:
elcid1970 ("Pres. Trump doesn't wear glasses. That's because he's got 2020.")
Liberals seem to believe that the coronavirus has political preferences. According to their magical thinking, the rallies and street protests that they approve of couldn’t possibly transmit Covid-19. Only the sort of gatherings that they disapprove of can transmit a virus. Maybe they should let viruses vote at the polls?
They’re full of !#$/
