Published 1 min ago on March 13, 2020 By Brad Reed
Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr. on Friday uncorked an unhinged rant on Fox & Friends where he said that the entire world has deliberately overreacted to the coronavirus pandemic solely to hurt President Donald Trump.
Falwell started out his rant by claiming there wasnt nearly this much hysteria surrounding the H1N1 pandemic in 2009, without noting that H1N1s fatality rate was less than 0.1 percent, whereas the fatality rate for coronavirus is more than ten times higher.
It makes you wonder if theres a political reason for that, Falwell said. Impeachment didnt work, and the Mueller report didnt work, and Article 25 (sic) didnt work, and so maybe now this is their next attempt to get Trump.
Of course, countries across Europe and Asia have gone into complete lockdown to slow the spread of the virus, which seems like an extreme step to take if their goal were really to hurt Trumps poll numbers.
Falwell also claimed without citing any evidence that the virus was a bioweapon developed by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
The North Korean president promised a Christmas present for America back in December, could it be that they got together with China and this is that present? he asked. I dont know but there really is something strange going on.
And Trump will tweet about this in 3-2-1.......

(10,036 posts)It was about a woman whod been quarantined on that cruise ship the Diamond Princess and recovered. She was complaining because her health club told her to stay away. She was being persecuted and people were hysterically over reacting; her take on it. Obviously Fox was using the story to reinforce the idea its all overblown. Well maybe if proper actions and testing were instituted immediately people wouldnt be reacting like they are. And it seems that even people who have recovered can catch a mutated new version. She had not gotten very sick. In typical trumper fashion she and Fox used that to draw the conclusion that no one is getting very sick. I just hope that crowd gets widely infected soon. Fox peddling this distorted view is just increasing the problem.
