An Associated Press fact check confirms what Breitbart News reported earlier this week: that Democrat presidential candidates are falsely claiming that President Donald Trump cut funding and personnel needed to fight coronavirus.
On Tuesday, Breitbart News fact-checked “mostly false” claims by former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg during the Democrat debate in South Carolina. Bloomberg claimed that Trump had “fired” a pandemic specialist at the White House, and “defunded” the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The implication: Trump was to blame for the spread of coronavirus — even though there have been just over a dozen cases and no fatalities in the U.S.
The truth: the pandemic specialist had left voluntarily during a reorganization of the bloated National Security Council (NSC), and the CDC cuts — as the agency wound down its Ebola response — were only proposed, not enacted.
The AP confirmed Thursday, in an article titled “AP FACT CHECK: Democrats distort coronavirus readiness,” that much of what Democrats are saying about Trump’s response to the coronavirus challenge is simply not true:
Democratic presidential contenders are describing the federal infectious-disease bureaucracy as rudderless and ill-prepared for the coronavirus threat because of budget cuts and ham-handed leadership by President Donald Trump. That’s a distorted picture. For starters, Trump hasn’t succeeded in cutting the budget.
He’s proposed cuts but Congress ignored him and increased financing instead. The National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aren’t suffering from budget cuts that never took effect.

God is in control.
My feeling is we as a nation have been under God’s judgment for a number of years, and for whatever reason, He has been holding His hand back. 9-11 was a warning, but we ignored it. But that could be changing.
As the Word says, God will not be mocked.
You bet. We already know they want a worsening economy and are likely praying for deaths by the virus. Two things that can truly hurt Trump.
A lie can travel half way around the world....yada yada yada
Leftists (i.e. democrats) always lie about everything. Then they accuse their enemies of being the ones who lie.
This is standard fare for the criminal democrats.
JoMa
True that. Look how many are following those Demi-children.
If he were to become president, there is no reason to suspect that he would be any more honest or less insane.
Little Mike is out to settle a score with normal people.
bingo
I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe I should go to Georgia and buy a lotto ticket. And I think hell just froze over.
On the FOX’s “The Five” yesterday or the day before, Watters said he had proof of the same lie. Juan just sat there and blubbered.
They hit and run and cower in their parents basement. Hard line Marxist use them for the ‘ Lenin described’ Useful idiots.
We need to go after the ‘Lenins’
Every Dem canidate os to the left of Obama.
There! Fixed it.
Remember in November!
MAGA, now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
agree-That is the way Dems can win and you can just about hear them rooting it on.
The Dow is now down 10.7 for the year, over two years it is now up just 1.7%. If the Dow goes down to 20,000 (I hope it holds at 25,000) it is all over for Trump, he will lose-make no mistake about it, and I’m a Trump supporter. It would take too long to come back.
Many people who are not into the stock market don’t get how it impacts them. If the Dow doesn’t snap back it impacts companies cash, investments, production, jobs 401ks, and starts a recession, just as it did in 2008.
Hypocritical Pelosi and Schumer are playing politics with the Corona Virus and people are already panicking. Just try to find a common N95 mask. Amazon, Walmart, CVS, Target are all sold out. I was in an Ace Hardware store getting some weed killer and the guy said they just had a rush-a rush on masks, he got 200 boxes in and sold out in an half an hour won’t have more for weeks.
Pence needs to speak daily on Corona virus AND speak about the collaboration the administration is doing with Bio Tech firms to find anti-bodies (best approach IMHO ) with Regeneron,symbol Regn, this is the company that shut down ebola. If the market holds above 25,000 the recovery in markets typically takes about 4-5 months but Dems will try and make this worse by showing how Trump is minimizing it. He took too much of the Rush Limbaugh approach (hey regular flu kills too) and it did the opposite of what it intended as evidenced by market sell off and people panicking more.
Trump or Pence should speak more to specifics as to what he is doing (and they are) including banning flights, the big one is how HHS IS working with Regeneron, Regn on antibodies, with Vaxart Inc. (NASDAQ: VXRT on vaccine, new Sepsis Dr. Marik protocol to shut this virus down which unlike regular flu can mutate and has a much much higher death rate. If he wants bonus points he can talk about how these advances will help reduce regular flu deaths as opposed to being surprised to how how many die from flu. Gawd the deaths from flu will be bad enough but a President Sanders will be bad
Hopefully Tucker, Sean, and Laura will inform their viewing audience tonight. Hope Trump tweets about this. The rats need to be branded by this
care less fear they’re instilling in the general population. They are unAmerican hateful monsters.
They must hate Bloomberg more than they hate Trump.
You bet. We already know they want a worsening economy and are likely praying for deaths by the virus. Two things that can truly hurt Trump.
Coronagate.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us..
- Psalm 103
Amen. A fact that is completely lost on the Democrats.
How about the millions they squandered on endless investigations of President Trump and his administration.
