Pandemics are just great comedy material, especially when you are right in the middle of one with no end in sight because of a bad comedian like him. Har, har, har.

Dubya when he thought that pretending to look for WMD's under the dais was hilarious while soldiers were being killed in Iraq.

Those GOPers are just freakin' hilarious, aren't they?

Oh, and saying something was "just a joke" after you've seen it didn't sit well with people is a typical response from a gaslighter.
