Two prominent Donald Trump supporters are taking to Twitter to spread lies about coronavirus. One, Bernard Kerik, recently received a pardon from the president. The former police commissioner says he believes the coronavirus “hysteria” is a plan to destroy Trump.

Wow, and isn't it amazing how we got all of those other countries in on the hysteria too? Entire countries shutting down just to own Trump! And the people who died? Crisis actors, right? ?

David Clarke, a former Sheriff of Milwaukee County who Trump once considered for a position in Homeland Security is also tweeting some rather bizarre messages. While he was once in charge of controlling order as a sheriff, the Trump supporter now seems to be encouraging disorder. He is suggesting social distancing and self-quarantine is “an exploitation of a crisis.”

GO INTO THE STREETS FOLKS. Visit bars, restaurants, shopping malls, CHURCHES and demand that your schools re-open. NOW!
If government doesn’t stop this foolishness…STAY IN THE STREETS.
END GOVERNEMNT CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES. IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
THIS IS AN EXPLOITATION OF A CRISIS.

Clarke also said, “Not ONE media outlet has asked about George Soros’s involvement in this FLU panic. He is SOMEWHERE involved in this.”

These types of conspiracy theories are dangerous and should be condemned.

Report his tweets to Twitter Support. These are very dangerous irresponsible things for his to spread. Public health & national security risks. #banSheriffClark
