That’s right, folks…
Hillary has made a complete fool of herself on social media yet again.

This time she tried to slam Trump for the PPE shortage on Twitter but was quickly reminded by a slew of users that it was in fact Obama who depleted the stockpile.
Everyone seeking to understand the extent of Trump’s botched response to COVID-19 must recognize that Trump wasted one of the country’s best weapons to fight a pandemic: The Strategic National Stockpile of protective equipment. https://t.co/5ABsuqCZnr [2]

Investigations by Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times found the Strategic National Stockpile was not replenished long before Trump was elected to the White House. The national shortage of N95 respirator masks can be traced back to after the H1N1 swine flu pandemic in 2009 when the Obama administration was advised to replenish a national stockpile, but reportedly did not.
In 2009, the H1N1 outbreak hit the United States, leading to 274,304 hospitalizations, 12,469 deaths, and a depletion of N95 respirator masks.
A federally backed task force and a safety equipment organization both recommended to the Obama administration that the stockpile be replenished with the 100 million masks used during the H1N1 outbreak. [Washington Examiner [6]]
Hillary really needs to get a better team to fact check these tweets.
And so does her daughter Chelsea.
