Pres. Trump creates Coronavirus task force and CNN slams it over "lack of a diversity"
[Right Scoop] Trump is coming under fire again from CNN, this time over a lack of diversity in his Coronavirus task force:

Seriously, is there nothing Trump can’t do that CNN won’t criticize? And criticize with such disdain, I might add, as the author of this CNN NEWS article makes clear in his first sentence: "It’s a statement that’s as predictable as it is infuriating..."

They just have to paint Trump as a racist every chance they get. CNN doesn’t come right and say it in the article, but that’s exactly the point they are making. Since when is the color of someone’s skin a qualification?

And notice the other point of the article, "it’s still worth pointing out...as the country approaches the 2020 presidential election." That’s right, they are hoping it will harm Trump in this year’s election. They make their motivations clear: ’Don’t vote for Trump because he’s a racist.’ And CNN wonders why people hate them so...

#1 I wonder if these people would really prefer a task force stuffed by diversity and not competence?

#2 Look, if it weren't for the Wright Brothers, a couple of white guys, that virus would still be stuck all the way over in China. White people got us into this mess, and now we're supposed to trust them to get us out of it?

#5 #2 The Wright brothers weren't around for the Justinian (541 AD)or Black Plague (1347 AD), those came from the East the old fashion way by boat or caravan.

#8 So, CNN is saying that its OK to discriminate on the ethnicity of your doctor, instead of his education and experience?

Good luck with that.

#9 If the Orange Man donned a lab coat and helped identify a combination Coronavirus-Cancer antidote, he'd still be blamed.

#12 Diversity is a way of saying hiring less experienced people.

#13 fuck your diversity, look how that works out in every other aspect of life. I don't give a shit what color or whatever you are as long as you are very competent in my healthcare.

#16 Maybe they should read the article about fixing R&D or losing to China posted today.

Apparently, we're going to lose them through their historical role as incubators of pandemics, rather than through their research brilliance.

#17 After dealing with recalcitrant states-righters who undermined coordinated efforts to win the Civil War, Jefferson Davis was moved to remark:

"If the Confederacy fails, there should be written on its tombstone: Died of a Theory"

Much the same could now be said of Western Civilization and the multicultist fetish.

#18 If the Coronavirus is a threat to mankind, you would think that diversity would be low on the totem pole of problems.

Being that this came from CNN, it can be discounted as having any connection to reality.

#19 With Coronavirus potentially threatening to wipe out all sentient/intelligent life on Earth, CNN feels safe
