The Democrats are desperate to blame President Trump for the Wuhan coronavirus, and to criticize any measures his administration may take. They are shameless, too; at first, his response–an early ban on travel from China, which undoubtedly saved lives–was racist and xenophobic, while now anything he does is too little. Meanwhile, one country after another, Germany and Canada most recently, is closing down its borders. I guess there are xenophobes everywhere.
The New York Times bashes the president daily, usually by peddling fake news. The latest example comes from Editorial Board member Mara Gay, the same one who said on MSNBC that 500 is one million times 327. Here, she simply misquoted the president. Dan Bongino has the story.
First, Gay’s tweet with its alleged Trump quote:
Trump told governors this morning they are on their own:
“Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves,” Mr. Trump told the governors during the conference call, a recording of which was shared with The New York Times. https://t.co/K0sont7MBc— Mara Gay (@MaraGay) March 16, 2020
Bongino’s response, which has been echoed by many:

RedState explains at the link:
Trump made similar points this afternoon during a White House Coronavirus Task Force press briefing, correctly noting there is less red tape at the local and state levels than at the federal level. The point? Get the supplies however you can and as soon as you can, and don’t wait on us because the federal bureaucracy will slow progress.
I actually don’t think the Times does much damage anymore, because pretty much everyone understands how viciously partisan and unreliable it is. One question that millions have asked is, if Donald Trump does so many terrible things, why do leftists constantly have to make up things he didn’t actually do?
Bongino’s response, which has been echoed by many: Do you EVER tell the truth? Let us help you with the rest 👇🏻 “We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.” — Dan Bongino (@dbongino) March 16, 2020
You need a new laser.....
I’d make a bad proof reader.
L8r
You are......:)
Maybe the EU countries are filled with racists and xenophobes. Oh wait, I forgot, only Trump is a xenophobic racist, to close the borders. All other countries get a free pass. 😁😀🤗
Mara Gay and the NY Times are getting hammered on the thread replying to her tweet. The MSM may come out of this crisis more hated than ever. I make no apologies for sincerely hoping so.
The moral of the story... The Times Suck!
Bongino’s response in your excerpt posting is the SAME twitter from that complete liar Mara Gay.
Bongino’s response is not in your posting. Guess we’ll all have to go to the entire article.
OK you caught it.... sorry for the blast. Thanks for posting and saving time for folks.
If anyone was still laboring under the notion that the New York Times is anything other than pure propaganda, that notion should have been buried by the 1619 Project.
