The end of last week marked a couple of turning points. COVID-19 death and hospitalization projections were revised down significantly. Meanwhile, Attorney General Barr released new documents and ramped up public criticism of the previous administration’s handling of the alleged Trump/Russia collusion investigation in 2016.
That’s two very inconvenient developments for Democrats desperate to defeat the president in November.
For the last month, little else has been in the news but the virus sweeping the globe. It didn’t take Democrats long to attempt to blame the Trump administration for a pandemic born in and covered up by China with an assist from the World Health Organization.
The truth of the matter is no one imagined something of this magnitude derailing our lives any more than we imagined terrorists hijacking commercial planes and slamming them into buildings nearly 20 years ago.
We can armchair quarterback our readiness and ability to foresee or imagine such things, but the truth is everyone from the mainstream media to leading medical voices like Dr. Fauci to state and city officials across the country, to our elected officials in Washington D.C. were all caught by surprise to varying degrees.
