How long did we have to sit here and listen to the fake news media tell us over and over that Trump’s Mt Rushmore July 4th Event, where masks were not “required,” that it was a “COVID death sentence” just waiting to happen?
USA Today reported that “health experts” were in “fear” of the celebration and believed it could lead to a spike in infections in the communities near the event and where the attendees live.
That type of fearmongering was everywhere., 24/7.
Meanwhile, nobody said a peep about the hundreds of thousands of people looting and rioting together for weeks on end.
After the riots died down, the media picked up the COVID panic again and tried to blame the spike in new cases on Republicans who had responsibly reopened their states…not stuff like this:
California shuts down again, again wiping out people's lives, savings, jobs.

The media really thinks we’re a bunch of gullible dummies, don’t they?
Now, as we hit that 2-week mark from the Mt. Rushmore event, South Dakota health officials report “ZERO” cases of COVID are linked to his event.

That’s right…ZERO.
From the Monday edition of the Rapid City Journal of Rapid City, South Dakota: “A state epidemiologist said in a call Monday with reporters that no public notices or trends in the data reflect an outbreak resulting from the July 3 fireworks show attended by President Trump at Mount Rushmore.
“Dr. Joshua Clayton, epidemiologist for the Department of Health, said in this instance, no public notices need to go out to those who went to the event.
“Clayton also said the DOH isn’t seeing any specific trends related to new cases in Pennington, Custer, Meade or other surrounding counties as related to the July 3 fireworks show.
“’What we typically have seen is that our cases have some amount of travel out of the state (or) individuals are known close contacts to a confirmed case,’ Clayton said. ‘The remainder, as reflected in the community impact map, are those cases that have been identified with no exposure, or potential exposure.’”
He added: “We have not seen a difference in terms of our overall number of cases related to community spread for other counties at this time.”
This got pushed out of the headlines with a decided quickness once Trump’s “dark and divisive” speech became the front-page news. COVID-19 at Mount Rushmore never returned, either, because there was no reason for it.
The media is also not reporting that while cases are up, the death rate has plummeted.
This is GREAT news!
In addition, the media is also not asking why Democrat governors placed sickly COVID patients into vulnerable nursing homes, causing the death toll to skyrocket.
Do you know if you removed the tragic nursing home deaths from the equation, that it would cut the COVID death toll nearly in half?
Do you know that in some states 65% of their deaths came from nursing homes?
Why were so many Dem leaders filling vulnerable nursing homes with sick COVOID patients and why on earth are no reporters asking this question – screaming it from the rooftops?
We all know why…and it’s sickening.
