”…some in our media can’t contain their glee and delight in reporting that the U.S. has more #CoronaVirus cases than #China” and that they were engaging in “grotesque” and “bad” journalism.

Projection and Deflection is thy name!

It’s not only Rubio BUT to the Greed-Over-People Party and esp. their Commander Covidiot, Chaos and Confusion!

Addendum:

Addendum2:

Another projection and / or deflection from one of the Greed-Over-People Party…

Put up or shut up, Marco.

Post a clip on your Twitter feed of these journalists expressing “glee and delight” at the number of U.S. coronavirus cases. Guess what…you can’t, because it never happened, just like the thousands of Mooslims in New Jersey that the Orange Menace claims were cheering and celebrating the 9/11 attacks.

I fail to understand why the MSM doesn’t just challenge these GOP idiots to provide a shred of evidence for their outrageous claims. (“Many people are saying”…for you to f*ck yourself.)

It’s what Trumpy the Clown’s lickspittle lackeys do, Stephanie.

Rubio is trying - and failing - to conflate probable satire and cartoons with actual hard journalistic reporting of facts. The notion that American journalists are in fact gleeful is nonsense. Li’l Marco is being slippery…again.

This speaks volumes about Rubio’s character.
Frankly he is grotesquely lacking in that regard.

He has the opportunity to expend his energy in constructive ways but makes the choice to exacerbate divisions and amplify hatred.

Rubio has again demonstrated his further descent into garbage and he is merging with it. He is learning from Mango Mussolini.

OK, so his gripe is about Chinese propaganda. Why does this matter? We don’t need to look to the Chinese response to see that other countries have handled the pandemic so much better than we have. Look at Singapore or South Korea. There are other examples of countries who did a far better job at containment than we have. Plus, China was first, the virus originated there. They didn’t have a model response to learn from and copy. We did, our government failed. What he’s really upset about is that someone criticized Trump.

Rubio is deeply and fundamentally a coward. Oh, and–a Scripture-spouting hypocrite.

Stephanie didn’t ask him who it was that couldn’t contain their glee. She should have pressed him on it until he came up with a name to back up his assertion. She didn’t. She’s part of the problem.

You’re right, it’s well past time that these nattering nabs of yapping pols need to be challenged. Challenged as in “Sen. what have you been doing for the last 4 weeks to help in this national emergency?” “How many times have to called your state’s governor to ask him why he’s not helping the people of his state stay safe and well?”

The descent of Rubio from wunderkind to irrelevancy has a kind of sick fascination to it, like slowing down to rubberneck a bad accident even though you know you shouldn’t.
