Republicans get religion: Trump, McConnell, and FOX News now believe coronavirus is not a hoax

[kentuck]

Until this weekend, none of them seemed to take it seriously. In fact, McConnell released the Senate for a three-day weekend, even as a bill to address the crisis was on his desk.

Trump has never taken it seriously. Even as people all around him were testing positive for the virus. He called it a "hoax" and lied about taking the test for it. He was primarily concerned with the stock market.

But, FOX News put a couple of their airheads on hiatus for minimizing the pandemic virus and blaming the whole thing on "fake news" and the Democrats attempts to tear down Donald Trump.

However, sometime during the last couple of days, it seems that Jesus must have laid his hands on them? Either that, or the 3,000 point drop in the stock market yesterday opened their eyes.

Whatever it was, it is no longer funny. It is very serious.

In the last couple of days, it has been like a mass baptism of the Republican Party.

Watch them stuff their pockets while people die.

2. Our Democratic Mayors, Governors, and Pelosi in the house did the work.

We did all this that got us to this point, regardless of the obstacles Trump put up thru his lies and calling this a hoax and Foxs news and Republicans Governors mocked us.

3. The historic stock market crash kicked trump in the nuts. Only way to get his attention.

4. I suspect the layoff off that one Fox Bimbo

may have scared the shit out of a few more, who thought if they don't change they too may lose their jobs. They all know the truth, they are just trying to cover the orange blob's ass.

5. Probably a lot of truth in that.

7. Oh, yeah!

That's what they do! They are masters at it.
