Perhaps now is a good time for @CNN to stop parroting CCP talking points on coronavirus then?

Quick 🧵👇
And maybe it would be a good time to apologize to @realDonaldTrump and @VP for serving as a conduit to Biden blaming Trump for these deaths? Or saying that Pence had “sought to cast blame” rather than just tell the truth?
Perhaps @CNN could follow up with Madeleine Albright about the “art of statecraft” that compels us not to punish China in light of these new allegations?
Or maybe they can have @JeffDSachs do a follow up on “accusations that China is behind the coronavirus pandemic”?
I mean seriously @CNN what the hell is this?
Maybe today is a good day to revisit @NYCMayor’s comments that “this nation of months of warning from what was going on in China”?

That take sure hasn’t aged well.
“From strength to strength” @jgriffiths? We still going with that one?

Raimondo has presided over the sixth-most COVID deaths per capita of any state, more than double the rate of Wisconsin, Ohio or California.

If RI were a country, its deaths per capita (130/100,000) would be the third highest in the world, behind Belgium & San Marino (pop 1,650).

on US state data here: statista.com/statistics/110…
I don't know why these stats don't matter to so many left-leaning thought leaders. The governors who consistently get plaudits - Cuomo, Murphy, now Raimondo - often have the worst records in addressing the coronavirus.

Minneapolis, ground zero of “defund the police,” is on pace for its 2nd highest annual murder rate this year.

The year-over-year increase alone (30, just through the first 11 months) is more than the *total* number of unarmed people in the city killed by police since 2000 (28). ImageImage
Stat on that last one based on data compiled by @StarTribune data, linked here: m.startribune.com/fatal-police-e…
Officer involved killings are tragic and complex. But the way that we talk about addressing them has become increasingly unmoored from the data, which is bad.

🧵Thread🧵

Today’s news about China’s poor and deceptive handling of the coronavirus outbreak should serve as a wake up call for those in the media who praised and defended it.

Because it’s a long, long list of those who served as an apologist for China’s response. 👇
Given @CNN broke the bad news today on China, it seems like a good place to start the list of those who vouched for them.

They carried water for China’s propaganda for months, and criticized @VP for rightly blaming their response for the global death toll. ImageImageImage
Of all of @CNN’s people on the anti-Trump beat, it seems @jgriffiths was dedicated to covering for China in their response, and obfuscating the truth in criticism from Trump and others. ImageImage

Incredible to see @BillKristol begging for table scraps in his new party from people like @neeratanden who aren’t exactly fans.
People will talk about the NeverTrumpera selling out to fit in w/ the Biden Admin, just as other NeverTrumpers sold out to fit in w/ Trump but what I think it comes down to is that many political types purport to care about things/people/institutions they don’t, so this happens.
Kristol has shown in his career that he cares about two things: being in the spotlight and bombing Middle Eastern countries. Everything else makes more sense when you consider what he does as a means to one of those ends.

We should really stop pretending political things aren’t political simply because they have broad support among the powerful and influential.
I’m also very, very tired of the chicanery around pretending a political organization with a sweeping legislative agenda and expansive mission statement can be distilled down to “Black lives matter” simply because that is the name they chose for the organization.
Also I will never understand what passes for political bravery these days. Every center of political, financial, and cultural power is arraigned alongside BLM except, what, the GOP?

See, if cities and states would simply allow everyone, and not just the people in charge, to make their “decision as a husband and father,” this whole mess would blow over.
What I wish people like @MayorHancock and @NYGovCuomo and @LoriLightfoot and @GavinNewsom could just wake up and realize is what they’re telling people is that they don’t think their rules matter enough to follow.
It’s really that simple. If they thought that their travel bans and eating bans and whatever else bans were truly **so important** as to be worth meaningful sacrifices then **they would be making those sacrifices** too
