White House suppressed coronavirus reports and downplayed virus, House panel says
cnbc.com ^ | August 31, 2020 | Will Feuer

"Rather than being straight with the American people and creating a national plan to fix the problem, the President and his enablers kept these alarming reports private while publicly downplaying the threat to millions of Americans," subcommittee Chairman James Clyburn, D-S.C., said in a statement. 

Each report contains data on confirmed cases, testing, the mobility of a state's residents and more for every state. The reports also break out data for each county within a state and put forth recommended policy responses for state officials.

"The Task Force reports released today show the White House has known since June that coronavirus cases were surging across the country and many states were becoming dangerous 'red zones' where the virus was spreading fast," Clyburn said.

President Donald Trump and others in his administration have repeatedly advocated for the swift reopening of large parts of the economy regardless of the threat posed by the coronavirus, which has infected more than 6 million people in the U.S., killing at least 183,300 of them. The U.S. has reported more confirmed cases of the coronavirus and more deaths caused by Covid-19 than any other country in the world.

White House spokesman Judd Deere said the "partisan report" was issued for "the purpose of falsely distorting the President's record," adding that Trump and his administration "has reminded Americans to follow CDC recommendations and best practices to slow the spread as we work to reopen."

Isn’t this the same house that impeached him and pushed the Russiagate hoax? I don’t really care what nonsense they come up with. I’m not alone.

Of course, FeuerIdiot.

Apparently, FeuerIdiot missed the Kayleigh McEnany press conference where she mic dropped the moronic idiot reporter and most of the WH Press pool asking ‘gotcha’ questions suggesting Trump downplayed the Wuhan virus threat by flipping the script on them, huh?!?!?!

And despite this, these F-ing morons are still running with this ‘downplayed’ BS?!? LMAOGTFO!!

Are these the same House members who criticized Trump when he shut down travel to and from China? And who told people to go out in public and mingle ?

“You can’t downplay a fake crisis.”

Childish people demand the adults play make-believe with them or they cry.

Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

This is the same House that was calling the President racist as he was shutting down flights from China. And facilitated a coup against him.

The same data WAS being reported by the CDC, and every state was seeing that data and doing their own data collection and reporting and NO, acting correctly, the President did not offer a one-size-fits all “plan” to be dictated to the governors, who were all fully capable of looking at the data for their state, and any state, and decide their state’s necessary response.

And all I just said is also how the states play the main roles in all weather related natural disasters. The federal government mostly only (1)shares information, (2) prepositions resources, and (3) helps get resources AS NEEDED by the states based on the states emergency plans.

I doubt if Lieburn "made a statement".

They probably just translated the sounds of him filling his adult diaper for the fifth time today, and released that...

This is a pathetically weak attempt to counter this week’s NYT which essentially proves Trump was correct about this all being a hoax....at least for 90% of Americans.....with no need to mask or social distance.

EXPOSED
