White House chief of staff Mark Meadows doubled down on President Trump’s baseless claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are “totally harmless” during an interview on “Fox and Friends” Monday morning.
It’s really still amazing how much Republicans are supporting every nonsensical utterance of Trump. They must know he doesn’t think any of this through, that it’s just stream of consciousness garbage that he spews out, and yet they continue to go along with him. It really does feel like he’s their king in the way they excuse everything and try to change the meaning of common words to explain away obvious lies. All it seems to be leading to is a huge loss in November, and probably for years afterwards, as support for Trump’s policies is more and more seen as racist and evil.
Why do they continue to do this? It’s going to be interesting to see the Republican party’s destruction under Trump studied in the future as the records come out, because whatever is pushing them down this road really needs to be researched and understood so we can avoid it in the future.
If Coronavirus is so harmless, then why is Trump so mad at China and the WHO about it?

I’ve seen hundreds of #COVID19 patients. Mark Meadows has seen none. Please do not listen to these damn fools. Nearly half of US adults have high blood pressure. Over 40% are obese. And nearly 10% have diabetes. THE MAJORITY OF AMERICAN ADULTS HAVE SIGNIFICANT COMORBIDITIES!
Meadows Defends Trump’s ‘Harmless’ Coronavirus Claim
Ah, the moment when the last wraith of dignity leaves the body. Kind of like seeing the green flash at sunset.
Have we “grown numb to the escalating death toll & learned to accept tens of 1000s of new cases a day”, yet?
Kind of like saying what was the big deal about WWII. Over 97% of Americans didn’t get killed!!
No, he hates them both. He thinks “Won’t Get Fooled Again” was written about him several decades early.
“the vast majority of people are safe from this.”
Tell it to the 130,000 dead Americans (and counting). These guys are in a panic and rightfully so. “Vote for me because I only killed 130,000 people” does not a good campaign slogan make.
I saw it once on Lake Michigan.
Anyone have any idea why the Dems haven’t started describing the Repubs response to Covid as “cut ‘n’ run?” Seems like this would be an easily digestible sound bite, one the Repubs used effectively against Dems in Iraq.
After dump loses in Nov. and they look back , do you think it will occur to them that maybe the reason was that dump and Fox killed most of his elderly
white supporters?
Nah what am I thinking
They’ve gone full circle. Expect to hear very soon it’s just like the flu.
Meadows then argued that “when you start to look at the stats and look at all the numbers we have,” as well as testing totals in the country, “the vast majority of people are safe from this.”
Then why does Trump want to be held harmless with NDAs to his rallies if the vast majority of people are safe from Covid?
Addendum:
Hey Meadows…have you paid your 40K fine from Congress before you became a tax-paid Trump Tool yet?
Shameless trumphole yadda-yadda’s actual American Carnage. We have come full circle from the inaugural address.
When Meadows loudly volunteered for this job, is this what he had in mind? I know we are way past expecting an answer to this question, but how the fuck do these assholes live with themselves?
Meadows then argued that … “the vast majority of people are safe from this.”
Hint to markymuddles: sucking up to the boss’s most recent idiocy ain’t gonna help you in your war with Jared, but it could cost you the opportunity to return to your NC-11 congresscritter seat.
Question for Mr. Meadows:
“Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”
Harmless?? 132,000 dead (and counting?) A ghoul working for a con man.
He took the job. Any further questions?
