More than 513,000 Americans aged 0-18 have been infected by COVID-19.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Tuesday that Donald Trump was "telling people the truth" when he claimed at a rally the night before that "virtually nobody" had been affected by coronavirus.

Trump made his remarks while discussing the effects of the virus on young people. "Below the age of 18," he claimed, "like, nobody" had been lost to the virus, attributing this to possibly "strong immune systems."

"Take your hat off to the young, because they have a hell of an immune system. But it affects virtually nobody," he added, before calling for schools to reopen.

As Politico noted earlier on Tuesday, of the 6.8 million COVID-19 cases in the United States, about 8.4% — more than 513,000 children — have been Americans aged 0-17. The CDC reports that about 107 Americans between the ages of 0-18 have died from the disease.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump came out and called it a hoax again, and this twit would still stand up there with her righteous indignation defending him.
