Mea Culpa. I take back everything I said in defense of Bob Woodward on Wednesday...

61. Nope ... I think you're forgetting how many people were already saying he's playing down

the virus for his own purposes.

Pretty much everyone already knew he was doing this, and has known it all along. The people that weren't listening to those warnings? They wouldn't have listened Bob freaking Woodward any more than anyone else who was saying the same thing. They were going to listen to Trump and Faux no matter what.

Not to mention, UNTIL a bunch of a people actually died, there was not actual proof that 'playing it down' was a bad thing.

Had Woodward said it in April it wouldn't have a lick of difference. Even if he'd played the tapes.

They're only a 'big deal' ... NOW ... because so many people are already dead.

Not to mention, blaming Woodward is a distraction that plays into Trump's hand.

This post/line of argument is totally counter-productive.

It gets a big thumbs-down from me.
