Raskin: Trump on more than 20 different occasions defended the performance of the Chinese government in terms of COVID.. so if there is a problem with the Chinese government unleashing the virus.. you would have to pin that on your favorite President Donald Trump not Joe Biden

'It's going to disappear':
A timeline of Trump's claims that Covid-19 will vanish
https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2020/10/politics/covid-disappearing-trump-comment-tracker/
In his first speech after his hospitalization for Covid-19, President Donald Trump stood on a White House balcony on October 10 and made a grand declaration about the coronavirus: Its going to disappear. It is disappearing.
Trump has stuck to the refrain no matter what has been happening with the pandemic. Since February, the President has declared at least 38 times that Covid-19 is either going to disappear or is currently disappearing.
His proclamations have been wildly inaccurate. When Trump first started making the claim in February, it was about the time the US had just suffered its very first known Covid-19 death. More than 220,000 deaths later, Trump continues to falsely claim that the virus will somehow just go away even as the US experiences yet another surge in cases and hospitalizations.

I got to pinch myself sometimes being that djt is an American too, eh? Makes one wonder.

Boebert said she received her GED a high school equivalency diploma after completing a four-course review. Not her 4th try to pass but she was given a GED after finishing a review course and not testing.
Dumb as a bag of rocks. She got her GED days before her election
