Kellyanne Attacks WHO's Command of 'Facts and Figures' With Nonsensical 'COVID-1' Dig

...............................


A day after President Donald Trump announced that he was ordering his administration to halt funding to WHO while accusing the organization of causing deaths by “covering up the spread of the coronavirus,” Conway appeared on the president’s favorite morning show to back Trump’s actions.

After Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy noted that the president wants to suspend payments to the WHO for apparently peddling Chinese disinformation on the virus, Conway blasted the international group for being dishonest early on about the origins of the virus.

The senior Trump aide went on to praise the president for ...............

Conway then implied that there have been many other variations of this particular coronavirus, while seemingly suggesting that WHO should have been more on top of it.

“Some of the scientists and doctors say there could be other strains later on this, this could come back in the fall in a limited way,” Conway declared. “This is COVID-19, not COVID-1, folks. You would think that people charged with the World Health Organization facts and figures would be on top of that.”

One would think that a senior administration official, however, would know that the name COVID-19 doesn’t stand for the 19th version of the virus but instead the year it was discovered.

they know we know the truth and will fact check them.
They are lying to his base
because they think they are so stupid they will just believe it,
partially because they have been trained to by Fox News.
Their lies are the opiates for Trump's masses.

They Have Fox. The other MSM should stand together in firm opposition to helping spread their lies. Gotta hand it to Mika B. for banning Kellyanne a long time ago from Morning Joe. Mika said Kellyanne was just lying and said no more giving her a free media place to spread her lies. I think that's exactly right. Ostracize Trumpers like they were the coronavirus, to prevent their spread of lies.

Since Kellyanne Conway won't acknowledge the correct name for COVID-19, let's make it open season at DU and re-name the pandemic COVID-45.

His name on the checks.

His name on the death certificates.

His name on the pandemic.

Wide adoption of COVID-45, by citizens, the media and opposition politicians, will drive him up the wall and, in November, out the door.
