Last night’s #60Minutes exposed Trump for playing the worst kind of pandemic politics—cutting funding for US researcher Peter Daszak, jeopardizing possible COVID-19 cure. Also exposed @MattGaetz and @TuckerCarlson for their role in the disinformation scam https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-administration-coronavirus-vaccine-researcher-covid-19-cure-60-minutes/
This clip from #60Minutes shows how @mattgaetz and @TuckerCarlson spread dangerous lies that Trump then amplified at a WH press briefing in a sad attempt to smear Obama. Funding for vital research cut. More time wasted by Trump & Fox News as Americans die.
This part of the #60Minutes story shows Sec. of State Pompeo trying to spread debunked conspiracy theories on national TV, then backing off in embarrassment when fact-checked in real time. People are dying. This BS doesn’t help. #TruthMatters #FactsMatter
BREAKING: #60Minutes investigation reveals Trump knowingly allowed flawed #COVID19 antibody tests to circulate, leading to inaccurate data about virus spread, creating data to support re-openings, and potentially causing thousands more preventable deaths. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/federal-officials-allowed-flawed-covid-19-antibody-tests-2020-06-25/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7d&linkId=92064279

Trump promoted antibody tests as a way to reopen parts of the economy & speed up relaxing of social distancing. Whether the tests were accurate or not seemed less important.

As cases surge in Red States, how much are Fox News in general--and Sean Hannity in particular--to blame?
