During their annual Wing Nut Fest, ‘White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney told the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday that the media is only covering the spread of coronavirus because it’s out to get Trump.’

He also downplayed school closures and disruptions to public transportation in the United States as a result of the outbreak.

“Are you going to see some schools shut down? Probably. May you see impacts on public transportation? Sure,” Mulvaney said, adding, “We know how to handle this.”

The Hill:

The New Civil Rights Movement:

Mick Mulvaney at CPAC: Coronavirus is the Dem’s new favorite hoax. They want to bring down the President.

– audience cheers

Also Mick Mulvaney at CPAC: you’ll probably see some schools close.

– audience cheers

Not a fucking cult, though.

So, the Coronavirus, which started in China and spread to various countries throughout the world, but very slowly in the U.S. because President Trump closed our border, and ended flights, VERY EARLY, is now being blamed, by the Do Nothing Democrats, to be the fault of “Trump”.
