‘Trump inaccurately says Pelosi called for parties in SF’s Chinatown as coronavirus loomed’ (SF Chron tries to cover for Nancy)
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | April 15, 2020 | John Wildermuth

Posted on 04/15/2020 8:59:10 PM PDT by rintintin

President Trump took off Wednesday on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, inaccurately saying she invited people to “parties” in San Francisco’s Chinatown in late February after he had taken his first significant steps to try to limit the U.S. spread of the coronavirus.

Trump said at his daily White House news briefing that after he barred travelers from China on Feb. 2 and set up screening rules for U.S. citizens returning from the country, “Nancy Pelosi was trying to have in San Francisco parties in Chinatown because she thought it would be great.”

Trump was misleadingly describing a tour of Chinatown that Pelosi made Feb. 24 with local merchants, having lunch and visiting shops and businesses as customers vanished from the area.

“We should come to Chinatown,” she said outside the Dim Sum Corner Restaurant on Grant Avenue. “Precautions have been taken by our city. We know that there is concern surrounding tourism ... but we think it’s very safe to be in Chinatown and hope that others will come.”

Trump called her on it, and her leftist hometown paper is lying to protect her

Well, it's not like it's on video from February 24, 2020...

Oh, wait - it is.

The article ended with the race card. Amazing.

Yeah, they're playing the race card on Twitter.

I just tell them that "Chinese" isn't a race, and that China is a huge collection of diverse ethnic groups.

And that they're ignorant and racist for bringing it up.

I think they're being paid to do this sort of thing by individuals and organizations who don't want to be known.

"China Mike" Bloomberg.

This footage was shown, at the time, on all local network news channels in the Bay Area. That means TONS of people in the area saw it for themselves.

Should be interesting how this attempt to BS goes over.

"We know that there is concern surrounding tourism ... but we think it’s very safe to be in Chinatown and hope that others will come.”- Nancy Pelosi February 24, 2020.

That would seem to confirm what Trump said, wouldn't it?

Chinatown should be referred to as “Coronatown”.

I saw Pelosi as she made her comments on TV, and I believe that POTUS was very ACCURATE in his characterization of what she said.

Maybe all the booze in her veins repels the China Virus.

If no, she can fall back on the six day Trump Pills regime

“Precautions have been taken by our city.”

BTW does anyone know what precautions they took? Or, is that just one of many throw away lines (chronic lies of omission or flat out lies) from another lying leftist?
