Coronavirus Is a Hoax (and Other Lies)

As you would expect, there have been plenty of lies and gaslighting from Trump and his administration about this coronavirus.

Remember when he said this was a "Democrat [sic] hoax?" Or that everything is under control and the few cases would peter our right away? I mean, the number of lies Trump tells in a single day is staggering, but none as damaging as the plain old bullsh#t he spews at every one of daily briefings.

But he's not the only one. Did you hear that there's a supposed man of the cloth who is blaming coronavirus on gay people? Or someone else claiming that this is God's vengeance on liberals? And then there are all those self-proclaimed stable geniuses who still insist that coronavirus is a hoax perpetrated in order to unthrone the Mango Mussolini.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me clarify something for you. Anyone who lays the responsibility of this virus on a supposedly loving God is, to be frank, unhinged.

Now I'm not so uncharitable to suggest anyone who is religious has a screw loose. I'm a spiritual guy but more importantly, I am first and foremost a man of science. I didn't disconnect my brain through eight years of Catholic school and four years of catechism classes.

There is a problem in this country and it rests on the religious right, the so-called "evangelicals" who all too often spew a message of hate of everyone except good ol' God-fearing, white people.

Give me a break.
