During the White House press briefing today press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany made it clear Donald Trump wants schools to open regardless of how many cases of coronavirus exist. She actually said:

“The science should not stand in the way of this.”

Esquire magazine says this should actually be “the tagline for this administration.”

That’s certainly been their approach to things in general—the climate crisis, environmental protections, economics, the pandemic. McEnany went on to cite a study indicating children aren’t at great risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms, which is true, but they can get Multi-system Inflammatory Syndrome. And she had the gall to pretend she cares about this as a mental-health issue.

McEnany is now trying to clarify her comments but there is no mistaking what she actually said (watch above).

Case Study in Media Bias:

I said: “The science is very clear on this…the science is on our side here. We encourage our localities & states to just simply follow the science. Open our schools.”

But leave it to the media to deceptively suggest I was making the opposite point! https://t.co/vlxk3zRsgh
