Dear Democrats Who Blame Trump: You sang a different song a month ago

By Andrea Widburg

In an interview on Sunday with Jake Tapper, Nancy Pelosi wasn't shy about stating her opinion that Trump is responsible for deadly denial and delays about the coronavirus.  She holds this position although America currently has one of the lowest coronavirus mortality rates in the world.  She also has walked away from her own shameful delay on the emergency funding bill, which she tried to turn into a Democrat wish list.

Not only did Pelosi blame Trump for inaction, but she tried through her language to tie Trump to the Watergate impeachment, saying, "What did he know and when did he know it?"  She also brought in Nero, telling Tapper that "as the president fiddles, people are dying."

 

 

That's what Pelosi and her fellow Democrats are saying now, but they sang a different song two months ago, when Trump, on January 31, stopped flights from China.  Dr. Anthony Fauci later said, "One of the things we did rights was very early cut off travel from China to the United States."

At the time, Democrats were appalled.  Pelosi called Trump "un-American":

 

 

Biden mumbled something about Trump being hysterical and xenophobic:

Bill de Blasio, who's now living in a shell-shocked twilight zone as New York City almost collapses under the weight of the coronavirus, was busy telling people to get out and have fun:

 

 

Less than two weeks later, Democrat politicians in New York urged people to make a point of attending New York's massive Lunar New Year parade as a show of defiance against Trump:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another two weeks after that, when the coronavirus was starting to suck the oxygen out of all other news and was ramping up in Europe, Pelosi was in San Francisco urging people to go to Chinatown and telling everyone it was safe:

The whole cycle repeated itself in early March, when Trump closed travel from Europe.  Once again, Democrats and fellow-traveling NeverTrumps were practically beating each other to death in the rush to speak into microphones and send tweets denouncing Trump for being hysterical, hate-filled, xenophobic, and irrational.  Here, again, are some representative samples:

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's the height of chutzpah for people who have been wrong at every major junction in dealing with coronavirus to tell the American people that Trump is killing them.  What's killing people in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other major coronavirus hubs is that they've been listening to Democrat politicians instead of to Trump.
