Daily Kos Founder Appears to Jump For Glee Over Americans Infected with the Wuhan Coronavirus

If there are two things that are clear during this Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, it’s that the liberal media is terrible. And the progressive Left is outright insufferable. The liberal media is making a daily habit trying to tank the markets with their trash reporting and desperate trap this administration in a ‘gotcha’ moment for their broadcasts. It’s sick. If there is one institution that could torpedo or threaten a united front in combating this disease, it’s the liberal media. Also, they’ve tried to for three years to entrap this White House, with each time ending in failure. They’re an embarrassment. Period. 

Jim Acosta's interruption of Dr. Birx is an example of how CNN's echo-journalism model is destroying the media's credibility. Every question from Acosta is an effort to score points rather than elicit information. It is a press pandemic that continues to rage without relief.— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) April 3, 2020

But there’s also the progressive Left, who are both jumping for glee at the number of Americans infected with this virus, but also playing political correctness police when it comes to those trying to do the right thing. Patriots owner Robert Kraft delivered one million masks on a plane to medical workers. Former ESPN writer Jemele Hill thought this was problematic because Kraft gave money to Donald Trump during the 2016 election. Yes, the only acceptable charity can only come from leftists or those who are anti-Trump. Talk about a hot take. Hill is infamous for tweeting that Trump was a white supremacist in 2017, which exposed long-standing biases at the sports journalism giant.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) decided to hurl the environmental racism aspect. I thought viruses targeted no race, creed, gender, or political group. Well, apparently this virus is a racist disease targeting people of color that came from China. Last but not least was Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas who used the number of U.S. Wuhan coronavirus cases to try and take a swipe at Trump but ended up peddling Chinese propaganda instead. 

Trump loves to be number one! Even if it's mass death. It's great for ratings! U-S-A! U-S-A! pic.twitter.com/1ZlnDq6WDE— Markos Moulitsas (@markos) April 3, 2020

This is literally from today you communist propagandisthttps://t.co/IMcsqquAif— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) April 3, 2020

“Trump loves to be number one! Even if it's mass death. It's great for ratings! U-S-A! U-S-A!,” Markos tweeted with a screenshot of the number of Wuhan cases in the country. It’s sick. It’s despicable. It’s the American Left for you, broken and driven mad by Donald Trump. Yet, we all know the Chinese numbers probably are through the roof and much greater than that of the United States. We don’t want to play numbers games, but now the Left, with their unbridled stupidity, has permitted this. The real death toll for Wuhan is said to be hovering around 40,000. Also, cheering sick and dying Americans to own Trump is quite the strategy and one that will keep making progressivism simply distasteful to most in this country and rightfully so. They’re awful people anyway. As of today, there are over 270,000 cases in theU.S., with over 7,000 deaths.

This isn't an isolated incident either. Julio will have something about Vox's crew. I wish I could say more, but these guys blocked me nearly ten years ago.

For so it had come about, as indeed I and many men might have foreseen had not terror and disaster blinded our minds. These germs of disease have taken toll of humanity since the beginning of things—taken toll of our prehuman ancestors since life began here. But by virtue of this natural selection of our kind we have developed resisting power; to no germs do we succumb without a struggle, and to many—those that cause putrefaction in dead matter, for instance—our living frames are altogether immune. But there are no bacteria in Mars, and directly these invaders arrived, directly they drank and fed, our microscopic allies began to work their overthrow. Already when I watched them they were irrevocably doomed, dying and rotting even as they went to and fro. It was inevitable. By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain.

Self hating leftists have no guts to off themselves so they find joy with the death of other people instead.

Our great and grand country will never be the same after this devastating virus has passed by. Oh...we, the American people will rebound back to our world leadership role, very quickly.

However...two things must be changed by the American people and voters. The entire Democrat Political Party must be totally and forever destroyed as as a functioning political unit and the the Lock-step Democrat media must be silenced, down to a whimp.

If this does not happen the USA will cease to operate as a free nation 100%. It is as simple as that...folks.....your choice. Is it freedom and liberty, forever or, will it be....Good Morning, Big Brother George Orwell...we love you and obey your every word, Big Brother.

Markos, why don't you move to China? Hardly anyone died there.

The US cases are high because about 500,000 infected Chinese travelers left Wuhan in December and January and came back to the Chinatowns in NYC, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. And each one of them promptly infected another 100 within days.

I disagree. If we silence anyone our country is no longer free. They have a right to want to be good little communists; we have a right to reject them. What we must insist upon is TRUTH. Their lies should generate penalties.

When it all boils down to truth, the Democrat party will self-destruct. No need to destroy them.
