Trump Acts While Democrats Act Out

The American Spectator
COVID-19 has exposed the grotesque cynicism to which their party has succumbed.

"Numerous news outlets noted on Wednesday that COVID-19 has now killed more Americans than the 9/11 attacks and reported the grim White House revelation that it could end up killing as many as 50 times the number of our fellow citizens than we lost in those acts of terrorism. Very little commentary, however, was devoted to the difference between the Democratic response to the current crisis compared to their reaction to that national emergency. Then, the Democratic Senate majority stood with the Republican House majority at the Capitol and sang “God Bless America.” Even then-Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) said the following about President Bush:

I know that the most important thing now — having been at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue for eight years — is for us to be united, united behind our president and our government, sending a very clear message that this is something that transcends any political consideration or partisanship.

"Now, for the Democrats, the potential deaths of more than 100,000 Americans and the destruction of our national economy no longer “transcend” political considerations or partisanship. Last Sunday morning, for example, the current Democratic Speaker of the House took to the talking-head circuit to make the bizarre claim that President Trump’s management of the coronavirus pandemic is comparable to the negligence of the Roman Emperor Nero, who is supposed to have played a lyre and sung in his palace while watching the city go up in flames." . . .
