Max Boot: Coronavirus Outbreak ‘Wouldn’t Have Happened if Hillary Clinton Had Won’

2020-03-23

[BREITBART] Never Trump stalwart, Iraq War advocate, and CNN analyst Max Boot has written an op-ed in in the Washington Post in which he claims that 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...
outbreak would not have been as bad if Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
had won the 2016 presidential election.

"We couldn’t have avoided the coronavirus, but we could have ameliorated its effects," he argues.

Boot, a ~~tool~~ military historian, calls coronavirus "the most foreseeable disaster in history" ‐ though he did not tweet about it until February, particularly after it came up in the Democrat debate Feb. 25 in South Carolina. (His only tweet about "coronavirus" prior to Feb. 26 references a report by an eighth grader.)

In his op-ed, Boot claims that "Trump wasn’t paying attention" to intelligence reports. He fails to mention the travel ban on China that Trump imposed Jan. 31. (Boot has also mocked Trump’s travel ban on Europe, which was recommended and endorsed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert on the president’s coronavirus team.)

#4 Perhaps Max knows that under Hillary the media wouldn't have churned the panic up to 11.
