Trump Owns PBS Reporter With Ridiculous Questions About Him ‘Causing Sickness’ And ‘Not Taking Virus Seriously’

“Nancy Pelosi, she wanted to have a street party in Chinatown.”

In what has become a daily occurrence at the White House press briefings, President Trump had to fend off baseless accusations from a left wing reporter. This time that he hasn’t taken the coronavirus outbreak seriously, causing families to become sick.

“That’s a month later at the end of February. And they tell me it’s only a political talking point. … At the end of January, I put on a ban. People in that room will tell you, I think there were 21 people and I was the only one that wanted to do it. Fortunately, I was the one that counted for...
