How the Trump Administration Twisted Coronavirus Intelligence

The article is written by a former Pence advisor and really everyone should read the whole thing. I will offer a couple of different paragraphs as a taste


In his requests for more information, it wasn’t Pence’s behavior that was questionable, but his apparent motives. On February 26, Pence was announced as the new head of the White House’s coronavirus task force. After Dr. Nancy Messonier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, had raised the alarm about the virus spreading in the United States, it was widely understood inside the administration that the vice president’s job was not to control the disease but to control the narrative. Finding evidence for the lab leak theory seemed to become a public relations imperative.




The next month, Trump followed his lead, telling reporters he had a “high degree of confidence”—an intelligence term of art for an assessment backed by significant data unsuited to alternate explanations—that the Wuhan lab was the origin of the virus. When asked where he got his evidence, he dodged, “I can’t tell you that. I’m not allowed to tell you that,” from which any reasonable person would infer classified intelligence sources, not a months-old Washington Times article.




Considering the abuse to which the intelligence process was subjected during the last year of the Trump administration, there are ample reasons for Biden to ask for a new, updated report on how SARS-CoV-2 came to be.

The true origins of the virus may never be known. But as long as there are political points to be scored, many alumni of the Trump administration don’t care.

The latest Trump/GOP lies about the origins of Covid

I know they are claiming that there was a hospital where three lab workers turned up (sick with Covid is their claim). The problem with this lie is that if you sent 3 Covid patients to a hospital with zero precautions (there would have been none pre-Covid) there would have been a Covid outbreak at the hospital. There wasn't so this is just another racist right-wing anti-American lie

The right-wing push for people to buy gold has started up again

during the Obama era, right-winger propaganda networks and commercials pushed buying gold. They did that because they know the more money is invested in gold the worse it is for the economy (since money invested in gold does nothing to help the economy and actually hurts since that capital could be used to create jobs and goods and services).

The push to buy gold stopped under Trump but now that Biden is president it's started back up. Heard Bill O'Reilly on a commercial telling everyone to put their money into gold.

The Freepers know that Trump is a crook and a tax cheat

their responses to the SCOTUS ruling allowing Trump's tax returns to be seen are apocalyptic. They know he is a criminal and they are very very angry that his crimes will see the light of day.

Sadly we have reached the point where Freepers and the anti-American Trump cult can be called "evil" and it's not hyperbole.


I don't know what the solution is, but this is, far and away, the biggest long term threat to our nation


I think that this was the logical conclusion of what happens to a nation that is bombarded 24X7 by misinformation from the anti-American right-wing propaganda/hate machine
