As anti-Trump media seeks to widely disseminate data on the COVID-19 case increases in red states Florida, Arizona, and Texas, they are selectively ignoring data on hospitalizations and mortality rates compared to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s New York, according to Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, on Newsmax TV.
“That’s what they do: They lie, they misrepresent, and they’ve taken their lead – well, I’m not sure if they’ve taken their lead from the Democrats or the Democrats took their lead from the media, but either way they work together and they misrepresent the facts,” Gohmert told “Saturday Report.”
Gohmert told host Grant Stinchfield the narrative is spinning away from the reality that the virus started in Wuhan, China – something media once called a conspiracy theory – is one example.
Another is pointing to “upticks” in Texas, Gohmert’s state, since late May, while ignoring hospitalization and death rates in Texas vs. New York.
“We’re testing people like crazy here in Texas,” Gohmert adding to Stinchfield. “But, Grant, if you look at the deaths, the precious lives that have been lost, New York deaths are up over 8,000 in that period; Texas is up a little over 700.
“Every life is precious, but we don’t have a governor sending people with COVID to our nursing homes. We don’t have them killing and spreading the virus to people who are most vulnerable like Gov. Cuomo did.”
