CNN’s Jake Tapper said President Trump did not call the coronavirus a “hoax,” but he stopped himself from correcting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from erroneously making such a claim.
The New York Democrat joined Tapper on his CNN show Sunday and claimed, “We’re hearing it every step of the way from this administration. First, we were hearing it was a hoax. Then we were hearing that everything was fine. Then we were hearing that the fundamentals of the economy was OK until the crash comes. And we cannot wait until people start really dying in large numbers to start production.”
A Trump campaign staffer called attention to the Democratic congresswoman’s claim on Twitter, saying it “would've been a great time for a fact check” from Tapper, who declined to push back on the statement during the on-air segment.

Tapper - a typical, liberal reporter-LIAR
Same old liberal game-playing but now in the middle of an international crisis. Where is the coexist crowd now and why are they not speaking out in protest over such lies?! Because they despise Trump. Period.
