In yet another example of why President Trump calls the media the ‘enemy of the people, the media is falsely accusing Trump of calling the coronavirus a hoax in a speech at a campaign rally in North Charleston, South Carolina Friday night.
Politico: “President Trump on Friday night tried to cast the global outbreak of the coronavirus as a liberal conspiracy intended to undermine his first term, lumping it alongside impeachment and the Mueller investigation”

The clip posted by Rupar clearly shows Trump calling the Democrats’ attacks accusing him of failing to handle the coronavirus “the new hoax”, not the coronavirus itself or worries about it.
Dan Rather, “Pres. Trump calls coronavirus Dems “new hoax” at a cheering rally. I wonder how they’d view the “hoax” if they found out somebody in the crowd was sick with the deadly disease. I say this with sadness. We need our government to lead, or at least get out of the way of the truth.”

(NOTE: The KPRC report is misleading, there are no new case in San Antonio. The cases are evacuees from overseas quarantined at a nearby military base.)
