CNN political analyst Nathan Gonzales was mocked on Wednesday for
suggesting that casting blame onto China for the coronavirus outbreak is
becoming a "GOP campaign message."

Gonzales was reacting to an interview Vice President Mike Pence had on
CNN, where he expressed that he wished China was more "forthcoming" about
the virus threat when asked about whether Trump administration had a "late
start" to combat the outbreak.

"The reality is we could have been better off if China had been more
forthcoming," Pence told CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer. "What appears evident
now is long before the world learned in December that China was dealing
with this, as much as a month earlier than that the outbreak was real in
China."

Gonzales, however, was quick to dismiss Pence's remarks as a political
strategy.

"This is clearly an emerging GOP campaign message: But China," Gonzales
tweeted.

VP Mike Pence, asked by CNN's Wolf Blitzer if the the U.S. was slow in
reacting to the coronavirus outbreak: "The reality is we could have been
better off if China had been more forthcoming."

The tweet met with fiery criticism.

"Nathan’s cooking with gas on this ratio. Living up to the CNN political
analyst brand right here," author James Hasson knocked Gonzales.

"Yo, Democrats, you should probably tell your friends in the media that
turning China's role in the COVID-19 outbreak into a purely partisan issue
is not going to help you in November. The journos don't seem to get it
yet, so you'll hafta remind them," writer Gabriel Malor reacted.

"CNN bros should definitely double down on defending China right now,"
conservative commentator Stephen Miller quipped.

Gonzales responded to some of the criticism.

"Not defending. Two things can be true at the same time: 1)China is not a
reliable source of information 2)US early response to Coronavirus was
inadequate," the CNN analyst said.

Miller shot back.

Birx explained this yesterday - that the CDC reaction was based on
numbers coming out of Wuhan. You missed that because your network decided
not to carry all of it.

That was in reference to CNN's decision to not broadcast a portion of
President Trump's daily coronavirus press briefing on Tuesday, which was
also criticized.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."

Weird how CNN never derides any of the things that are becoming a "DNC
campaign message".

Yeah, weird, huh? Maybe because they're NOT fake news.
If you want Fake News, just go where you usually go.

Trump's Coronavirus Response = Benghazi! (tm) X 50,000.

Donald Trump on COVID-19: "There will be a lot of death,
unfortunately..." 4-4-20

"When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to
be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done...
especially with the fact that we’re going down, not up.” We’re going
very substantially down, not up." (4-3-20: 240,000 confirmed cases and
5,800 deaths.)

Trump: "No, I don't take responsibility at all." - 3/13/20
Trump: "I happen to feel good about it, but who knows. I’ve been right a
lot." - 3/20/20
