‘Pod Save CCP’: Pod Save America straight-up lies about ‘the time we lost’ fighting COVID19 thanks to Donald Trump

Jan. 1: China tells Trump admin that this is a horrific pandemic.

Jan 20: First American gets coronavirus.

The time we lost waiting for him to realize what everyone was telling him is heartbreaking. https://t.co/w9UJ8OkXqp https://t.co/crLUPRzyad

You know what’s also heartbreaking? That the twerps at Pod Save America would willingly push propaganda for a repressive, murderous regime to make America look bad.

Dudes… no…

I am so shocked that Obama alums are still getting facts wrong on China

“Getting facts wrong” is just a nicer way of saying “pushing bald-faced lies.”

Literally fake news

This is a lie. China said no such thing. https://t.co/oEav7heqwi

Your bio says "No-bullshit" but this would suggest otherwise.

You are lying. The data is available for everyone to see.

The WHO told us human to human transmission wasn’t possible. pic.twitter.com/JieOg00n9r

You are flat out lying. On January 14th the WHO tweeted that China had no evidence of human to human transmission and the virus was nothing to worry about. That did not change until January 30th. Trump suspended travel to/from China on the 31st https://t.co/6TCfGUFzNe

This isn’t accurate. China covered up until January 20, and did not come fully clean then. Timeline here: https://t.co/rDmUgAYSrh

Yeah, about that. China was busy arresting doctors on that timeline for warning peoplehttps://t.co/O0vlDgoHBw

I don’t want to defend Trump’s response in anyway, but it’s not true that China told the US that it was a pandemic on 1st January. They didn’t even acknowledge human transmission until later in the month. China was still arresting doctors for spreading ‘rumours’ in early January.

You have to be careful about tweeting things like this. It might not seem like it matters much to you in the US, but the CCP arrests doctors, suppresses free speech, and commits ethnic cleansing on a massive scale. Don’t give them a free propaganda boost.

Too late for that.
