After President Trump’s announcement that he and the first Melania Trump had tested positive for COVID-19, Senator Kelly Loeffler bluntly blamed China.
“Remember: China gave this virus to our president @realDonaldTrump and the First Lady. WE MUST BE RESPONSIBLE,” the Georgian Republican tweeted Friday morning.
Trump announced that he and the first girl had tested positive for COVID-19 early Friday morning. Since then, Senator Mike Lee of Utah and Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel have also announced positive results from the controls. The White House suggests hope Hicks also has coronavirus.
The tweet was heavily criticized on Twitter. CNN’s Joe Lockhart called the tweet “an astonishing example of the GoP’s relegation. “Defense One editor-in-chief Kevin Baron tweeted in reaction that “Wuhan’s White House chain lasts about 11 months and many, many, many bad decisions. “
Loeffler is not the only one who continually criticizes China and its management of the coronavirus. The president himself continues to call the coronavirus a “Chinese virus” and has continually blamed China for the first presidential debate with Democratic candidate Joe Biden. “It’s China’s fault,” the president said. This deserves never to happen. “
The coronavirus outbreak dates back to Wuhan, a city in China.
House of Commons President Nancy Pelosi on Friday criticized Trump’s attitude toward coronavirus protection precautions prior to his diagnosis, and called his movements a “cheeky invitation” to spread it. “It’s tragic. It’s very sad. But it’s also anything that, again, entering unmasked crowds and everything else is kind of a cheeky invitation for something like this to happen. “the California Democrat said.
