CNN’s Tapper: Trump’s ‘Refusal to Lead Has a Body Count’
Breitbart ^ | 7-20-2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 07/20/2020 8:51:33 PM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Monday on CNN, anchor Jake Tapper critiqued President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Tapper said, “Health experts say the United States is in desperate need of a vaccine because President Trump and other leaders have so seriously mishandled any serious attempt to contain the virus within our borders. As of this afternoon, the U.S. is nearing 4 million confirmed cases in the United States, and that’s growing, almost 141,000 lives have been lost. That number is also sadly growing.

He continued, “We have already seen months of examples of what the president does at these briefings. He often downplays the threat of the virus. He frequently lies about what is really happening. ....

In a clip, Trump said, “This capacity is sufficient to allow states to conduct diagnostic testing to treat patients as well as contact tracing to contain outbreaks.”

Tapper said, “Contain what outbreaks? What outbreaks are being contained? Which ones? It was not sufficient then. And health experts say it is not sufficient today. In some parts of the country, any serious contact tracing campaign is nonexistent.

(snip)

He added, “The virus is spreading because the virus is spreading. It’s not spreading because of the testing. And that brings us all to today. With nearly 141,000 Americans dead from coronavirus, and the Trump administration’s testings czar Admiral Brett Giroir admitting that testing is still not where it needs to be with long wait times continuing across the country. Yet, there is still no new presidential strategy to get us out of this spiraling crisis. This refusal to lead has a body count.”

Enemedia is giddy about their narrative brought down Trump's poll number so they are bound and determined to make covid death Trump's fault.

Now the goal post has been moved to "vaccine" and so far'contact tracing' is a joke. NOT ONE WORD about the rampant civil unrest and riots going on across the country. Not one word about (for example) hundreds in Philly street block parties.

But, Jake said this is because Trump 'refuse to lead'.

The worthless news media called the president a racist when he cancelled flights from China in January.

His actions, including portable hospital in New York, opening the Javitts Center, forcing companies to make medical supplies, etc. saved millions of lives just in New York.

You’re welcome, New York City!

Has Tapper ever addressed the body count in NY nursing homes that can be credited to Fredo Cuomo’s brother?

Right, Fake Jake.

Yet, Nursing Home FiasCoumo gets a pass...for having the highest death count, per million, in the country.

Oh, and so do the rest of the DEM Govs who insisted on sending infected ppl to nursing homes.

What a weasel punk.

Tapper's inability to generate ratings better than 14th place in the 25-54yr old demo and 26th overall in June 2020 is funny.

Because it’s Trump’s fault that viruses spread?

If I hang out with infected people, it’s not the president’s fault. The president is not forcing me. But if I’m a patient in a nursing home and someone orders the nursing home to take in extremely contagious folks to be housed in the same facility, then that someone is responsible.

No matter WHAT Trump had done with this pandemic, the Leftist media would have turned it around on him at this point.

We are listening to a bunch of spoiled children grown up, who must get “their way” even if they have to bend reality itself to do it.

Today’s media is comprised of old cocained and Valium-addled hippies from the ‘60s and ‘70s, their Ritalin-ed and Adderall-ed kids from the ‘80s and ‘90s, and their completely-indoctrinated, video-gamed grandkids begging to go Antifa.

Had the Left not succeeded in getting the mental hospitals closed down for “humanitarian” reasons in the ‘70s and ‘80s, a great many of our media talking heads would be getting therapy, not gaslighting America.

The Dem's and Media's refusal to push the message that HCQ+Zinc was a very good preventive measure -- led to a very high body count.
And various Dem Governors sending known sick people into Senior Homes aggravated the problem.
Of course the Media is running cover full-time for the Dems, and increasing the Body Count to extend the CoVid shutdown pleased their goals (of destroying America) - so what do they care.

You can't "contain" a virus inside our borders. It's impossible.

It's like California or New York thinking they're going to stop global warming inside their borders. It doesn't work that way.

A virus is not a living organism. It is an inert submicroscopic particle that attaches to cells to do its damage. It is so small compared to bacteria, that you need an electron microscope to see one of the particles.

Unlike a germs or bacteria that are living organisms and much larger in size and can crawl around and infect tissue. You still can't see them with the naked eye but you can under a regular lens microscope.

This is why masks will help stop the spread of germs and bacteria. But they are absolutely useless in stopping virus particles.

This is all fake news and Jake Tapper lies to make Trump look bad. Letting democRATic governors tell people they have to remain on forever lockdown in their homes, lose their jobs, destroy the economy, wear masks that don't stop viruses and stay 6 foot part from other people is what is causing so much suffering in peoples lives.

Labs are lying about the number of cases and deaths from Covid-19 because the government is giving medical facilities financial incentives to code everything that they treat nowadays as Covid-19. Follow the money.

We're being played big time. We are being duped. Played for fools. Prepped for getting used to being controlled. We've shot ourselves in the foot.

We will find on Covid, black killings, and the unintended consequences of the lock down that the Main Stream Media is responsible for 100s of thousands of deaths.

All this was motivated by TDS

Tapper is one of the prime examples of what is wrong with our mainstream media. He/they are liars, incompetent, frauds, and Democrat Party covert hacks.

They wouldn’t know honest, factual journalism if it bit them in the balls (and elsewhere for the ladies).

Hopefully one day his microphone will short-circuit (not the movie’s kind)and Jake the Snake will burst into flames like a lit fart.

Doesn’t anyone remember the 10s of million sick and 2 million dead predicted around the beginning of January?
