Facebook Fact-Checkers Admit Trump Never Said Coronavirus Was ‘a Hoax’ | News and Politics
So will Facebook mark these news orgs with the ‘Fake News’ warning?
Media Charges Trump With Calling Coronavirus A ‘Hoax.’ He Didn’t.
By Tristan Justice, The Federlaist, February 29, 2020:
The mainstream media has run wild, saying President Donald Trump used the word “hoax” to describe the threat of a coronavirus pandemic.
“Trump calls Coronavirus Democrats’ ‘new hoax,’” blasted an NBC headline.
“Trump fends off criticism of ‘hoax’ remarks after first U.S. coronavirus death,” wrote the Guardian.
“Trump rallies his base to treat Coronavirus as a ‘hoax,’” charged Politico, which had its article tagged on Facebook as misleading after review from independent fact-checkers.
If you are pushing the narrative that Trump called coronavirus a “hoax,” you’re lying.
It’s pretty obvious what he’s saying here. https://t.co/RlSoJ8ZSb8

“Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,” Trump complained.
One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax that was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning, they lost, it’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax.”
Even some mainstream reporters have explained Trump wasn’t claiming coronavirus itself was a hoax.
“He was saying the hoax is that he’s handled it badly. Not the virus itself,” said Will Saletan, a national correspondent for the left-wing Slate.

Perhaps, being an old fart, I remember many things better than the media. However, does anyone recall the H1N1 pandemic? It had already killed OVER ONE THOUSAND AMERICANS before obimbo called it a national emergency. That’s how the Democrat Party typically handles pandemics. Watch ’em for OVER six months and ….. then finally say, with great leadership, “We really ought to do something about this …”
Gotta love obimbo and the Democrat Party.

Remember how the black bimbo flew in Ebola patients to the U.S.? He wanted us to get Ebola. These patients never went back too and we got the bills for it. There was no reason to fly them into the U.S.. Treat them where they live.

Muslum collaborators/apologists/sympathizers say “anti-muslim” as if it’s a bad thing, yet they’re not lining up to relocate to any one of the 57 muslum sh!ttystans that infest the globe today.

If ANYONE can tell me a GOOD thing in ISLAM for ALL people, then I will listen. But, after studying ISLAM for over 30 years, I can attest to the fact that ISLAM IS ONLY FOR MUSLIMS AND THEIR GOALS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY NON-MUSLIMS. The non-muslims, according to ISLAM must die as Muslims conquer the entire earth.
BEING ANTI-MUSLIM IS A SMART THING IF YOU UNDERSTAND THEIR GOALS/AGENDA.
I AM ANTI-MUSLIM IN ANY AMERICAN LEADERSHIP POSITION!
ISLAM is anti-Constitutional in every way. THIS is why muslims have no business even living in America UNLESS THEY PLEDGE TOTAL ALLEGIANCE TO OUR U.S. CONSTITUTION, but they will NOT.
If THAT is not enough to prevent any more from coming to America AND for Americans, true Americans to offer them free travel back to their own countries, along with those they have converted, THEN I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS. The longer they are allowed to stay in America, the more threatening they become and the stronger they become until one day, America is going to wake up to SHARIA LAW FOR ALL.

I am mortified with what I see happening in and to American politics. This article, which constitutes another hoax, superimposed on the articles that report that Biden again committed an Alzheimer moment with respect to appointing a black women to the senate, and the possibility that the reasonably intelligent people of Jewish persuasion would overwhelming vote for Sanders is so mind boggling that I believe our politicians and the electorate is sufferings from and has fallen into an abyss of unreasonableness , while carrying a bad case of stupidity. Even watching the media reports that always find negatives to say about Trump, though there are many positives involved in his administrating our government, is beginning to sound like this country has fallen into the rabbit hole of “Alice in Wonderland.” If the Democrats keep the House, and capture the Senate and Presidency, I fear that we either will face a civil war, or that this country will fiscally collapse. Future generations will suffer the loss of the greatest system of government ever functioning. What virus has caused this possibility? It must be eradicated.

I think it’s a hoax too. That’s not to say that people aren’t getting sick. But I think this was a planned event. From 1981.

Thanks for the info. Here’s something to add: The John Hopkins Ctr. for Health Security, partnered with World Econ Forum & the B-M Gates Found, hosted Event 201… a pandemic exercise held on 10/18/2019 in NY. Its agenda discussed areas where partnerships will be called upon during a severe pandemic. Here’s a partial quotation from their foundation website: ….”it will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences..” Coincidence? Not!

Here’s more…I live in Western WA (not by choice)…home of Gates where most of the nation’s epidemic is unfolding. Interesting coincidence. 6 dead (5 from one rehab care hospital), dozens more in quarantine with 18 testing positive, 1 fire district closed due to 27 firemen exposed and 19 sick; school districts closed. Stay tuned as the numbers go up each day. And we are a SANCTUARY STATE!!! Way to go Gov. Idiotsly!

When this first started happening there were several scientists (experts on these weaponized viruses) saying it was impossible for this to be caused by anything other than people in laboratories. Strange how all the articles I read have seemingly disappeared. A couple of them worked at the CDC. Wonder if they still have their jobs….

Still out there: Charles Lieber, Chem/Bio-Chem Dept Chair at Harvard arrested by feds for lying about connection to Wuhan. Go to: US Dept of Justice.Org..march 3 (use key words: Charles Lieber). Verify with Fact Check.org. for those details that substantiate your confidence in the report.
BTW: Compare 1919 Spanish Flu epidemic. Search: Did A Military Experiment Vaccine in 1918 Kill 50-100. Look for the url: Vaccine Impact.com
Finally, we are on the upside of a power curve recording global population data. The most powerful families in the world belong to the Bil..der..berg Gruupe whose goal has been to address this systemic crisis by, one, using climate change (which is a hoax) to get people to stop reproducing,….and among others by engineering biological agents and vaccines. Thanks for the exchange.

Trump never said the virus was a hoax. DEMS want people to PANIC and make Trump appear to not care – Trump not caring and not being prepared is the “hoax” they seem to be pushing.

The desperate Dem’s are coming up with this ‘Hoax’ bullshit now because they could not even concoct a believable lie in blaming Trump for the Coronavirus.

He points out the moronic lying media each time and they go and lie again when it is on tape!!! What the main problem is with the ignorant libturd parasites is that they can’t comprehend what Trump says…they have to have even more ignorant libturd lying news morons tell them what he said and they lie each time again and again and the ignorant libturds suck it up as truth and then spew it out as fact.

I’ve never met a LibTard that could pass a simple reading comprehension test. They are the most stupid, incoherent, illogical humans that have ever existed on this earth. Had they been farmers they wound have starved. Had they been cave men the lions would have eaten them.They are the detritus of our society and we allow them to vote! Perhaps, we are the ones who are truly stupid?
