Coronavirus: CNN's Cillizza Avoids History to Claim Trump Rewrites History

CNN's Chris Cillizza has a problem. In order for him to claim that President Donald Trump is "rewriting history" concerning his handling of the coronavirus outbreak, he has to avoid an important chunk of that history. The irony is that it turns out that Cillizza himself is the one that is rewriting history by failing to report on a important decision by Trump early in the outbreak that significantly reduced the number of coronavirus cases in the United States during the early stages.

Cillizza found it so urgent to make his claim about rewriting history that he wrote two stories on this theme in two days.

The first of the stories featuring Cilllizza rewriting history by ignoring history to charge Trump with rewriting history came on Tuesday with "Donald Trump can't face the stubborn reality: He was wrong about coronavirus." And, as we shall see, it is Cillizza who can't face the stubborn reality that Trump was right about coronavirus by a certain early decision he made which was criticized by much of the media, including CNN, and by Democrats.

So desperate is Cillizza and CNN to hype the narrative of Trump failing to take early action, despite CNN itself slamming Trump for taking the EARLY action of the China travel ban, that he hits on it two days in a row.

The only problem with the China ban is that it doesn’t stop people from indirectly still getting to the United States, such as going to Canada, giving the virus to people there, and the Canadians or the person who is in Canada then visits the United States.

Just like many liberals-socialists, they can be rather bright and successful in some disciplines, like many prominent figures but when it comes to politics they can be about as dumb as a rock. For some strange and unexplainable reason they are drawn to socialism, like a moth into the flame of a candle, which most of us know that in the long run, inevitably leads to failure if not outright disaster. Will they ever learn? I doubt it.

The news media must be living under rocks. Watching todays presser with President Trump, most questions were redundant and half of them were attempts to entrap the President and his Staff.

so tired of this bullshit. our CDC and even the WHO was saying not to panic and more worried about OFFENDING CHINESE people.

We all have the videos of these shills downplaying everything and even pols and officials encouraging people to get out and be around people and hug a Chinese migrant in Italy.
This was to attack POTUS for taking measures. Now “WHY DIDN’T HE DO ENOUGH”

really f*** these people with a flaming baseball bat. They are USELESS political dogmatic whores who care about raping the tax payer and spreading lies and destruction. Seriously can’t stand anyone on the left.

Yep - they obviously have comprehension problems and their only “asset” is persistence in trying to make good look bad...(Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.)
