Ben Carson falsely claims it's Trump critics who didn't take coronavirus seriously

By Josh Israel -April 3, 2020 12:27 PM

Donald Trump was pushing to end social distancing by Easter as recently as last week.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson defended Donald Trump's slow response to the coronavirus crisis on Thursday, claiming that it was actually Trump's critics that downplayed the pandemic.

In a Fox News interview, Carson told host Sean Hannity that Trump was not getting enough credit "for being incredibly courageous in imposing the travel ban so early on," referencing a Jan. 31 order that temporarily restricted entry for some foreign nationals who had traveled in China recently.

"Now you have people saying, oh you're too late. The same people who were telling people to go out and have fun and to mix," Carson complained.

When host Sean Hannity suggested the same critics had been the ones impeaching Trump, Carson answered, "Yeah," before urging Americans to maintain social distancing and wash their hands and clothes.

Nice try Hannity, your still a jerk and and as for the POS Carson.......................Hey Carson and just for record Hannity, this POS is suppose to go to National Security meetings, was he not there when intelligence told them all sitting in that room about this virus, or did he have the tv on watching the Hannity cartoon show.....................

Stop giving him attention. The idiot Fox News viewers might hear him but no one else cares about Carson.
