CNN’s pre-eminent reporter Jake Tapper let Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lie to his audience with the famous ‘hoax’ story, but he had a reason.
He thought about correcting her since the President never called coronavirus a hoax, but he didn’t call her out because the President said the concerns of those saying the President’s response was insufficient was a hoax.
What a massive lie. The President called the POLITICIZATION of the illness a hoax, not the illness and not the legitimate concerns of Americans.
Watch:
I thought about it, because the president did not call the virus a hoax.
But i didn’t because he *did* call a hoax the concerns of those saying that the response from the president was insufficient and that he was downplaying the gravity of the crisis. And that too was a lie. https://t.co/MdPeulQpZ1

THIS IS WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID AT A RALLY
They are referring to his comments at a rally in South Carolina. A number of media outlets even edited the clip below to make it sound as if he called the illness a hoax. It’s still on Twitter.
It’s notable that you didn’t include a video of Trump saying this.
Because that isn’t what he said pic.twitter.com/ZlolS0S7Aa

Liars gonna lie because that’s what they do. I’m no good at it so there is no point in even trying.
Wasn’t this debunked more than two weeks ago?
Maybe comradette was busy thinking holes in a boilerplate with her extremely high powered intellect.
Everything is perfect in her district and all the free stuff has been redistributed?
