- People you trust, people you probably voted for,
have spent weeks minimizing what is
clearly a very serious problem.
It's just partisan politics, they say, calm down.
KYLIE MAR: On Monday night, Tucker Carlson
condemned politicians downplaying the seriousness
of the coronavirus.
President Trump has repeatedly contradicted experts
when it comes to the virus.
And lawmakers have openly mocked people's reaction to it.
And while Carlson himself has made some outrageous claims
about the virus, he now says, those continuing to minimize it
are wrong to do so.
- They're wrong.
The Chinese coronavirus is a major event.
It will affect your life.
And by the way, it's definitely not just the flu.
In a typical, year the flu in this country
has a mortality rate of about one in 1,000.
The overall death rate for this virus,
by contrast, is as high as 3.4%.
KYLIE MAR: Carlson also pushed back on the notion
that it's only a matter of time before the coronavirus
becomes a thing of the past.
- The Chinese coronavirus will get worse.
Its effects will be far more disruptive
than they are right now.
That is not a guess.
It is inevitable no matter what they're telling you.
Let's hope everyone stops lying about that, and soon.
KYLIE MAR: Meanwhile, at the exact same time
over on Fox Business, Trish Regan not only made
the comparison to the flu that Carlson warned against,
she told her audience that this is all just a conspiracy
to take down the president.
- The media's reaction with the global town
halls and CNN treating this like it's some missing plane story.
Many in the liberal media using, and I mean using,
coronavirus in an attempt to demonize
and destroy the president.
This is yet another attempt to impeach the president.
