Monday, the infamous left-wing group MoveOn began running a digital ad slamming President Trump for his administration’s “insufficient response to the Coronavirus pandemic” and encouraging voters to vote against him in November.
The ad features a timeline that gives viewers the impression that the government failed to adequately respond to the coronavirus.
“When faced with a pandemic, Trump’s incompetence and short-sighted choices cost American lives. He should’ve been taking action, but instead, Trump held rallies and played golf,” MoveOn alleges. The ads will run on Hulu and Facebook through June 15, and will be targeted to suburban women in Florida.
“The Trump administration’s handling of the Coronavirus pandemic has been one colossal dereliction of duty,” claims Rahna Epting, executive director of MoveOn. “The CDC issued a warning for U.S. clinicians on January 8th. The next day, Trump held a massive rally. In the weeks that followed, he played several rounds of golf, including the day after the WHO declared a public health emergency.”
The timeline featured by MoveOn does what most anti-Trump coronavirus timelines do: it ignores all the things that actually happened. Unfortunately for them, I’ve compiled a comprehensive timeline from various sources that lays out the Trump administration’s response in far more detail than they want you to see. As this timeline shows, the Trump administration responded quickly and decisively in the early weeks of the coronavirus outbreak, even as impeachment was underway. This timeline covers the moment China revealed the virus to the world up to the day Trump declared the coronavirus a national emergency. Events related to impeachment are in italics.
