I keep reading this from liberals. They claim President called the Corona Virus a hoax. I'll be the first to say the President could be more articulate or talk less even but we need to deal in facts not myths.
Did the President call this Corona situation a hoax?
----------------------
No, the President did not call this situation a hoax. This i a lie, a fabrication and just untrue.
According to Politifact, a non-partisan, non-profit fact checking website, the below is the truth.
During a Feb. 28 campaign rally in North Charleston, S.C., Trump called the Democratic response to COVID-19 a "hoax." But he did not use the term to describe the virus itself.
During a press conference Feb. 29, Trump was asked about his remarks.
"I'm not talking about what's happening here; I'm talking what they're doing," he said, referring to Democrats. "That's the hoax."
Trump’s comments feed into a conspiracy theory that claims Democrats and the media are fabricating the threat of COVID-19 to hurt the economy and the president’s re-election chances. And the president appeared to downplay the threat of the virus at several points in recent weeks.
But to say that Trump called the virus itself a hoax is false. Plus, the administration took its first action in January by setting up a task force to address the spread of the coronavirus.
Ok, now let's not talk about this again and waste everyone's time. This is the answer.
