4/22/20: On Tuesday, CDC Director, Dr. Robert Redfield issued a dire warning during an interview with the Washington Post.
There’s a possibility
that the assault of the virus on our nation next winter will actually be even
more difficult than the one we just went through. And when I’ve said this to
others, they kind of put their head back, they don’t understand what I mean.
We’re going to have the flu epidemic and the coronavirus epidemic at the same
time.
Today, the president insisted that this was “Fake News,” and Dr. Redfield was “totally misquoted” by CNN.
An interesting mistake to make, when talking about “Fake
News,” to mix up the Washington Post and CNN.

Dr. Redfield said what Trump said he didn't say. |
White House Press Liar McEnany naturally backs up her boss, and hints that maybe a few reporters deserve to be castrated for the way they peddle lies about poor Donald J. Trump.
Her position was blown to bits by the following facts. Shortly after the Post conducted the interview with Dr. Redfield, he shared it in a tweet and urged others to read it. And on Wednesday, during a coronavirus briefing, he said, “I’m accurately quoted in The Washington Post.”
Trump was standing by, and found himself reduced to complaining that the headline for the Post story – or CNN – or Mad magazine – was a mischaracterization.
“We’re starting to open our country again,” he insisted,
more hopefully. “Thanks to our significant progress against the invisible
enemy, I’m pleased to announce that in line with my administration’s guidelines
for opening up America again, we will begin to reopen our National Parks and
public lands for the American people to enjoy.”
BLOGGER’S NOTE (7/5/21): We know
now who was right, Dr. Redfield, and who was blowing smoke.
The president.
