Jen Rubin is the Senior Orange Man Bad Correspondent for the Washington Post. She also identifies as a “conservative.” Just like I identify as the AEW Heavyweight Champion if we’re playing the game where words don’t mean what they actually mean. So as the SOMBC for the WaPo, she blames Donald Trump for all the coronavirus things (see The WHO Wants to Take Your Alcohol Away During the Pandemic and Michigan’s Operation Gridlock Shows Many Americans Still Value Their Rights). Literally, it’s all Donald Trump’s fault. Just like everything is. But the pandemic is super double Trump’s fault.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (blah, blah, blah, red flag laws) disagreed. So he jolly-stomped her on Twitter with a few facts she may have missed.
On March 3rd, the day after you claim Trump should have shut our economy down, this is how the WHO downplayed the virus:
“COVID-19 spreads less efficiently than flu, transmission does not appear to be driven by people who are not sick”https://t.co/BNWzEViKJn

Would the America public really have accepted millions of jobs destroyed for a virus that had infected just 102 people by March 2? Especially considering Italy would not lock down until March 10th, Spain on March 14th, and the UK on March 23?
A bit of context is in order here.

Additionally, you falsely state that social distancing should have been a “last resort.” But this has no basis in fact. Experts have long said flattening the curve via social distancing is the only way to prevent the initial case spike that would overwhelm hospitals.

When it’s all said and done, this bad-faith analysis isn’t fact-based and lacks important context. Hating Trump is not an excuse for lazy argumentation and emotional reasoning.
Now, more than ever, we need critical thinking and productive deliberation.

This is the game that’s going to need to be played for the rest of the year. The media will do everything they can to rewrite their history over the coronavirus while claiming the Trump is the one doing it. I believe this is what people call “projection.” More and more people are going to have to make sure, if we’re going to play the blame game, the blame is properly spread out, as Rep. Crenshaw did here.
It would be nice if we were not playing the blame game and were working toward solutions instead. But that’s not the world we live in.
