Chelsea Clinton rips Limpblob for 'peddling' fake news on coronavirus

Chelsea Clinton ripped conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday for "peddling" fake news on the coronavirus.

The daughter of former President Clinton and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton tweeted in response to Limbaugh’s comments on his show that the coronavirus epidemic was being “weaponized” against President Trump.

“February 25th, 2020: The day I wished Rush Limbaugh had stuck to comparing me to a dog,” she posted, referring to the radio host’s 1993 comments comparing the then-13-year-old Chelsea Clinton to a dog.

Limbaugh compared the coronavirus to the common cold on his Monday show, although its symptoms can include a deadly form of pneumonia. More than 2,500 people in China have died from the virus, and the disease has infected more than 80,000 people worldwide.
