From Republican George Conway:

"For Trump supporters, let me make one thing VERY clear!

For the record NO ONE is blaming the President for the virus. Let me repeat. Coronavirus is not Trump’s fault.
Here’s a detailed list of what we are blaming him for:

* Trump declined to use the World Health Organization’s test like other nations. Back in January, over a month before the first Co-vid19 case, the Chinese posted a new mysterious virus and within a week, Berlin virologists had produced the first diagnostic test. By the end of February, the WHO had shipped out tests to 60 countries. Oh, but not our government. We declined the test even as a temporary bridge until the CDC could create its own test. The question is why? We don’t know but what to look for is which pharmaceutical company eventually manufactures the test and who owns the stock. Keep tuned.

* In 2018 Trump fired Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossart, whose job was to coordinate a response to global pandemics. He was not replaced.

* In 2018 Dr. Luciana Borio, the NSC director for medical and bio-defense preparedness left the job. Trump did not replace Dr. Borio.

* In 2019 the NSC’s Senior Director for Global Health Security and bio-defense, Tim Ziemer, left the position and Trump did not replace the Rear Admiral.

* Trump shut down the entire Global Health Security and Bio-defense agency. Yes, he did.

* Amid the explosive worldwide outbreak of the virus Trump proposed a 19% cut to the budget of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention plus a 10% cut to Public Health Services and a 7% cut to Global Health Services. Those happen to be the organizations that responds to public health threats.

* In 2018, at Trump’s direction, the CDC stopped funding epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries including China.

* Trump didn’t appoint a doctor to oversee the US response to the pandemic. He appointed Mike Pence.

* Trump has on multiple occasions sowed doubt about the severity of the virus even using the word hoax at events and rallies. He even did it at an event where the virus was being spread. Trump has put out zero useful information concerning the health risks of the virus.

* Trump pretended the virus had been contained.

* Trump left a cruise ship at sea for days, denying them proper hospital care, rather than increase his numbers in America.

Repeat. We do not blame Trump for the virus. We blame him for gutting the nation’s preparations to deal with it. We blame him for bungling testing and allowing it to spread uninhibited. We blame him for wasting taxpayer money on applause lines at his rallies (like The Wall). We blame him for putting his own political life over American human life. I hope this clears things up."

1. I disagree with Conway

I blame trump for the virus...he's the president it happened on his watch-fuck him!!! Anything that happens on the president's watch is his fault. If he wants to take credit for a great economy (pre-virus) when he had nothing to do it with it...then he can take blame for the virus.

Also if we phrase it that way enough low IQ voters will believe it

10. We Will Never Know For Sure

When Trump removed the team working in China in 2019 it clearly hampered our leverage. China took too much time in letting the world know and that let CV-19 bust out. It would have been difficult for China to do this with the US team still on the ground. Could that team have shut it down altogether? That answer can't be known without knowing more about their specific role. But this may be the most damning of all of the screwups committed by Trump.

And how many people have come down with CV-19 that would not have had stores any hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes for sale. Plus, the CV-19 tests being used are still the kind that take 4-5 days to get results back. That uncertainty is grueling for people possibly infected. Yes, Trump has blood on his hands - lots of it.

2. Hold Trump responsible for gross criminal dereliction of duty...

... his corruption, perfidy and all the rest. After his trial and convictions, straight to the pen. Then put a webcam in his cell so we can watch over him, like, as he stares at fabric swatches for the rest of his natural days.

[certainot]

14. it is worse than that. gop benefited from 2014 ebola scaremongering and media must

consider the real possibility that someone convinced trump to do another ebola for 2020. in 2014 limbaugh and others blew ebola up in october, turned 9 senate seats to take the senate, and then it all ended right after the election. russia/mueller subject jerome corsi was one of the salesmen.

he is too stupid to know that COVID might not be s scary and sensational but would be much harder to contain. no one can credibly consider that trump isn't capable

3. +infinity, but George, WTF Kellyanne? HTF she gonna not go to jail after this?

What about the children?

[MyOwnPeace]

11. You're killing me!!!!

"What about the children?"

[druidity33]

18. Wait... they have children?

Really hard to picture KellyAnn as a mom...

[MyOwnPeace]

22. Overheard last night (before bed time).......

"No, Mommy's going to read you your bed time story, another chapter from KellyAnn's Alternative Fairy Tales. It's the story of a "Prince" who owns golf clubs and becomes the "King."

[dameatball]

4. yup. part 3 in my Trumper brother's narrative. He spins whatever he thinks sounds plausible at the

time.

1. It should be over in a few weeks. Well, that didn't work

2. hydroxychloroquine. Oops, no dice on that one.

3. The virus was no one's fault. That was Monday's line. Ho-hum.

[Grokenstein]

5. Hillary didn't attack the consulate at Benghazi, but the rightwankers

...want her jailed for her response (or at least what they fantasize her response to have been) because four Americans died in the attack (which was made possible by Republican cuts to the consulates' defense, but nevermind).

Don-Don's obscenely inept response to COVID-19 is all on the record and continues even today, has already resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans. Lock HIM up.

6. The Trumpvirus; "and allowing it to spread uninhibited"

The Trumpvirus; "and allowing it to spread uninhibited"

Donald did not 'cause' it but he did allow its spread.

[spanone]

7. K&R

[Martin Eden]

8. All of this should be common knowledge

But roughly 40% of the country chooses to believe the most profligate liar ever to stain the White House.

[uponit7771]

9. K&R, This is important The Kremlin KKKlan is putting all its marbles into blaming China. That's all

... they have right now

Biden should somehow tie something peripheral to Trump regarding the virus like the economy or the middle class unemployment to keep the right from rooting this meme

[SergeStorms]

12. That's exactly what you have to do...

to get the message across to Trump's death-cult. A date-by-date linear progression of Trump's fuck-ups, and the consequences of his inaction and stupid actions. Trump might be down to 30% support by November.

[marble falls]

13. Its going to be hard to deal with George when he becomes the "loyal opposition" when ...

President Biden gets sworn in!

[Marcuse]

17. He'll be back to attacking Democrats and President Biden

If it weren’t for George Conway, the nation might never have met Monica Lewinsky, and Donald Trump might never have met Kellyanne.

In the 1990s, George was a quiet but critical presence in what Hillary Clinton would dub the vast right-wing conspiracy – a hotshot young attorney working to undermine President Bill Clinton by offering secret legal aid to his accusers and reportedly funnelling salacious details to the Drudge Report. “This one disgruntled New York lawyer almost single-handedly brought down the president,” David Brock, the conservative provocateur-turned-Clinton-acolyte, later wrote.

[marble falls]

19. Thats my point.

[Marcuse]

20. Indeed.

[JI7]

21. I would be happy having a President Biden
