WaPo’s Rubin: Trump Doesn’t Understand Coronavirus — Reporters Should Stop Asking Him Questions
[BREITBART] Sunday on MSNBC’s "AM Joy," Washington Post opinion writer Jennifer Rubin argued President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
did not understand the coronavirus
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic. Therefore, she insisted news hounds should stop asking him questions.

Rubin said, "I think there’s several things going on. First of all, Donald Trump treats this like an immigration problem. His first impulse is to block out the rest of the world, to blame others. He doesn’t seem to understand the problem we have is community spread. It’s already here. The problem is, he did nothing."

She continued, "So, I think his effort to either whip up prejudice or toss the blame someplace else really is this pathetic need for reaffirmation and to have an enemy to blame."
What a hateful deranged shrew
She added, "I will say one thing ‐ if they are going to broadcast these things, no news hound should ask Donald Trump a question. He’s going to talk, but they should direct all questions to the experts. He may butt in, but they should come back to those experts again and again. I thought that was one of the most effective displays when Dr. Fauci did jump in saying, ’Hey, this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It is dangerous, stop.’ So, I think part of it is, if they’re going to do it, stop asking him questions. And I do think we’re getting to the point where there are other ways in which we can communicate this information. Governors are reliable sources. The scientists are reliable sources, newsprint and online can directly quote from Dr. Fauci, as they are doing. We don’t need to inform the public by going to Donald Trump. That’s counterproductive."

Rubin once again demonstrates she doesn't understand anything. Yes, it's "already here". In limited amounts. Opening the borders would increase the number of sources -- keeping people out slows the spread inside our borders.

And I honestly wish Rubin would be ignored. She's a far-left Democrat playing the role of "dissenting conservative". She's a lying w***e.

#4 I think there’s several things going on.

I will admit that I've been known to use the singular form of the verb to be with plural nouns. But I don't write for the Washington Post. If I was doing this for a living I'd be ashamed of a mistake like that. I wonder if she even knows that it's a mistake.

Maybe slightly off topic but I couldn't help but notice.
