Indeed, the cardinal sin for the typical republican is to admit they were wrong about anything....especially if it means conceding that a "liberal" was right.......and if they do admit fault, it is always "we were not conservative enough" -- which basically translates to "We were not assholes enough"...Yes, Obama was president then...Trump wasnt president then. The One who gave a thrill down the leg of supposedly hetero leftist men was president. They were there to HELP his presidency, not destroy it.about as phony as the number of H1N1 deaths....Phony covid death numbers
Dr. Scott Jensen is both a physician and a Minnesota state senator. Yesterday he was interviewed by a local television station and dropped a bombshell: he, and presumably all other Minnesota doctors, got a seven-page letter from the Minnesota Department of Health that gave guidance on how to classify COVID-19 deaths. The letter said that if a patient died of, e.g., pneumonia, and was believed to have been exposed to COVID-19, the death certificate should say that COVID-19 was the cause of death even though the patient was never tested, or never tested positive, for that disease.
Problem is....I don't recall any conspiracies back then asserting that healthcare professionals were "faking" the numbers of deaths to make Obama look bad
Only delusional conservatives do that type of dumb shit
And even Fox News were not claiming the dumb shit they are claiming now..
Nor was Obama claiming the number of deaths were faked to make him look bad -- nor did he claim coverage of the H1N1 outbreak is a Republican hoax...
Years from now, you dic suckers will be looking like the morons who kept twisting themselves into pretzels to justify why invading Iraq was a brilliant idea
Don't count on them admitting they were wrong. To this day they still insist there were WMD's in Iraq even though Trump himself admitted there were none and they lied. They won't dare argue with him about it but here they will push back. He said it at a GOP campaign rally when he was running against all the other Republicans and although most of them had cognitive dissonance on the subject when he said it, they still voted for him.
The other common reply is, "both sides are to blame".
Whenever Republicans are wrong this is what they say. Bush didn't cause the great recession, both sides were to blame. Hillary voted to invade Iraq too.
Have Republicans tried to blame "both sides" for the handling of the coronavirus yet? Because Trump said in 2013, "leadership, whatever happens, you're responsible." Well that means Trump and Mitch are responsible. Nancy however is innocent.
