The efforts by the lefty media to peddle as much coronavirus fear as possible continue. One such person is MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, who ten days ago tried to sink President Trump's claim that a massive hospital ship would soon arrive in New York Harbor with another sent to the west coast:
RNC Research ~ FLASHBACK: MSNBC's Rachel Maddow: "nonsense" hospital ship will be in NYC soon.
{Embedded Video}
There's a transcript of the Rachel Maddow show posted on March 20th, and here's that portion:
In terms of the happy talk we've had on this front from the federal government, there is no sign that the Navy hospital ships that the president made such a big deal of, the Comfort and the Mercy, there's no sign that they'll be anywhere on-site helping out anywhere in the country for weeks yet. The president said when he announced that those ships would be put into action against the COVID-19 epidemic. He said one of those ships would be operational in New York harbor by next week. That's nonsense. It will not be there next week.
Oh really?
Cassie Smedile ~ Rachel Maddow: "that's nonsense [the US Navy ship] will not be there next week."
This morning (aka "next week"):
NBC News ~ NEW: USNS Comfort docks in NYC.
The hospital ship will be used to treat patients who are not infected with COVID-19 in effort to free up hospital space for coronavirus patients.
Another lib media self-beclowning? Yep.
victor90 ~ This didn't age well!!
It's just one more giant FAIL from a Resistance media only concerned with making Trump look as bad as possible and spreading DNC talking points instead of presenting their viewers with facts.
