The White House on Monday denied that it’s considering a national curfew in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
“That’s not even in the realm of things we’re asking governors for,” said Katie Miller, a spokeswoman for Vice President Mike Pence, who is leading the Trump administration’s response to COVID-19.
“There are a lot of rumors,” Miller said. “I promise you, I’m sitting in every single meeting… so I can give you guys a yes or no.”
Jim Scuitto of CNN tweeted Monday morning: “There are active discussions within the Trump administration to encourage a possible ‘curfew’ across the nation in which non-essential businesses would have to close by a certain time each night.”

Figures that the lie would start with CNN
#1 Enemy of the People
So the filthy bastard at cnn says things without verifying them? You can bet it still has its job and will never get fired.
This is what they do. They cause problems for Trump and then blame him for the problems.
The rumors may be designed to make it seem that the curfews that are being put in place by Governors are from the President.
I think you are exactly right.
p
Just heard Cuomo begging for the feds to do national curfews and closings because indiv states are making such jumbled regs...
Trump and/or Pence need to be directly addressing the American people several times per day.
A definitive list of things that they are NOT going to do will also help.
The left’s number one, two, and three priority’s right now are exploiting this mythical virus to damage Trump as much as possible.
I hate leakers. But this is a non-story. The Trump administration is / should be making contingency plans for a wide array of situations.
National curfews? Have we reached the chicken little overreaction level with the national media driving the panic?
bingo
more damn fake news from CNN, trying to pour more gasoline on a national fire ... CNN is truly the enemy of the people ...
When we are by this thing, the msm is going to have a lot to answer for. They should be liable for reporting unsubstantiated BS. It’s the same as yelling fire in a crowded theater.
Funny - I was going to post the exact same thing. This is being directed by the Pence team. They are strongly encouraging the governors to do this rather than make it a national order - that's what the 10th amendment is all about. Eventually, if a governor refuses - it will be a national order. People here can't see the writing on the wall.
Correct, the lefties never let a calamity go to waste.
CNN goes by the following...
A lie can make it halfway across the world, before the truth can get out.
Tell a lie often enough, and sheeple will come to believe it.
They probably have these sayings stamped over every door, at their HQ.
9pm?
10pm?
The media are the propaganda arm of the DNC.
‘curfew’ aka martial law.. Coming soon to the ‘hood.
This would be a 3rd time for me.. South Korea, Philippines, and now, very likely here with the level of panic being induced by leftists rags and officials.
