This whole 'Scapegoat' thread and Left's attempt to blame / demonize the President for the Coronavirus response can all be condensed and reflected in one debate, and that debate took place on the Bill Maher Show between Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and Maher.
Maher used about every single argument and accusation snowflakes have used against the President in this thread. Crenshaw would have none of it, as he refused to allow emotion and a lack of context fuel the false narratives / accusations:
'Maher tried to dunk all over Trump while leaving out critical things that Trump did in response to the pandemic in the context of when he did them, leaving out things Trump did in January like activating the CDC, forming the virus task force, declaring a public health emergency, and restricting travel with China.'
Not only did he talk about Trump restricting travel, rebutting Maherās claims, but he also pointed out the context.
Crenshaw pointed out:
While the Chinese and the WHO were telling the world China had the virus under control...While the WHO was telling the world COVID-19 was not a serious threat and telling the world's countries NOT to close their borders....while Democrats were telling Americans to go about their daily lives - to continue to group in large numbers, ride the subway, & to 'Come to Chinatown'...PRESIDENT TRUMP INSTITUTED A TRAVEL BAN TO ATTEMPT TO LIMIT / STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID-19.
FURTHER CONTEXT:
- China knew for months how bad the virus was and continued to allow the virus to spread globally by refusing to stop international flights from the epicenter of the outbreak.
- Democrats, led by Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi opposed the travel ban and personally attacked the President for instituting it, calling his actions Xenophobic and accusing him of engaging in fear-mongering. Now, after this, they declare the President instituted the ban too late and despicably claim they would have imposed it
sooner...despite being on record as opposing it. The FACT is if
it was left up to the Democrats who SAY they would have imposed the ban sooner - the same people who opposed it -
the ban would NOT have been imposed, and many more Americans would have been infected and died.
Crenshaw also destroyed the false narrative that despite the Travel Ban, TRUMP allowed 40,000 people to enter the US after the Ban was put in place.
-- CONTEXT: Crenshaw gilled in what Dems / Maher / snowflakes leave / left out: Those people were U.S. CITIZENS, GREEN-CARD HOLDERS, AND PASSPORT HOLDER -
U.S. CITIZENS! So the Trump-haters are attacking the President for allowing
US CITIZENS back in
THEIR OWN COUNTRY! They are arguing that the President should never have allowed them to come back.
Crenshaw then told Maher, 'If you are saying the ban should have been more restrictive then fine...but...You clearly had the foresight back then but nobody else did."
- Not only did the Democrats NOT see / think Travel Ban restrictions should have been tougher, they didn't even agree with the idea one should have been imposed to begin with. all this crap they are doing now is
'Monday Morning Quarterbacking' AFTER they demonstrated they were completely
wrong as it was happening (CONTEXT!).
Faced with THE FACTS, the TIMING, and the proper CONTECTS, Maher was left stuttering and unable to dispute / push back against any of it. The last point Crenshaw made was the most impactful fact that silenced Maher:
āI provide all of that context as we try to basically accuse this man of ā¦ heās being accused of having blood on his hands,ā Crenshaw said. āAnd
context is so important here. If weāre going to criticize somebodyās actions, we have to do it with the facts they knew at the time. So Iām just trying to be fair here.
I donāt really care about defending him or his actions. I just care about letting people know the truth. And when people make these accusations, I have to ask them:
Is the goal to make Trump look bad or is the goal to get to the truth? Because
they are are two separate sets of answers for that.ā
The Left seeks to affect a 'hit' on the President by criticizing him for his actions regarding his COVID-19 response, which they now say was the right thing to do, while trying to hide / distract from the fact that
while this President DID act they either
advocated doing NOTHING or declared the country should engage in practices that would have resulted in a greater spread of the virus, many more Americans being infected, and many more Americans dying.
