Politicizing Coronavirus Will Cost Dems the House

Their rhetoric concerning COVID-19 has been both irresponsible and politically inept.   American Spectator

Politicizing Coronavirus Will Cost Dems the House  . . . "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, for example, issued a joint press release Sunday that included the following fiction: “President Trump continues to manufacture needless chaos within his administration and it is hampering the government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.” Predictably, Pelosi and Schumer fail to provide any objective facts to support this claim.
"This is just the latest in a series of irresponsible assertions by the Democrats. The purported front-runner for their party’s presidential nomination, former Vice President Joe Biden, falsely claimed during a debate in late February that the Trump administration had hampered the federal response to COVID-19 by cutting funding for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH):  . . ."

Yellow Journalism: A dishonest claim about Trump 'storming out' on a coronavirus question  "The press has a lot to answer for in its coverage of the coronavirus — stoking fear, claiming chaos that isn't there, and blaming President Trump, whose response to the pandemic has been exemplary.
. . . 
"Helps to have some witnesses in the room.  Assuming that Saavedra is right, what a dishonest bit of sensationalism in such "journalism."  And apparently, the Daily Mail has changed the wording since the criticism.
"Whether it was from a desire for clicks, leftist bias, or just having nothing to report and making things up, it's not an honest characterization of the events." . . .
Trump Administration Aims to Calm Coronavirus Fears on Economic, Health Fronts
. . . "After Azar’s remarks outside the White House, HHS announced a diagnostic test for coronavirus designed for use in a system that can process up to 1,000 tests in 24 hours. The test will get financial support from HHS. " . . .
While the media are riveted by coronavirus, the Greece-Turkey border is exploding
"Even as Americans are obsessed with whether Trump is controlling the Wuhan Virus or whether Costco will have more toilet paper, unnerving things are happening on the Greece-Turkey border.  Turkey has unleashed tens of thousands of Muslim refugees who are headed to Europe, an invasion that, if successful, could destroy Europe's economy and will advance the demographic change started in 2015." . . .

Coronavirus, 2020 primaries should humble Democrats making predictions about Trump
