Loeffler blames China for Trump's coronavirus diagnosis

[TexasTowelie]

In a race to the party’s conservative flank, U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler parroted one of President Donald Trump’s favorite talking points by blaming China for his coronavirus diagnosis.

“Remember: China gave this virus to our President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @FLOTUS,” she said Friday on social media. “WE MUST HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.”

The tweet came shortly before she delivered elements of her typical stump speech at a Faith and Freedom Coalition conference and later at a campaign stop at a Forsyth County restaurant.

Though she didn’t address the social media post in either speech, she was asked after what she meant when she blamed the Asian superpower for Trump’s disclosure that he had contracted COVID-19.

3. From A to Z

7. Hey, I remember that! The Personal Responsibility Party

and all that stuff.

If clueless lame stream corporate journos or right-wing apparatchiks try to peddle that line of bull, a pithy but brutal response would be “That was then, this is now.”
