MSNBC loves to blame Republicans for everything wrong in the world.
It now seems that those who have been dead for years aren’t immune from their attacks.
And you won’t believe why an MSNBC host just blamed Ronald Reagan for coronavirus deaths.
Perhaps no Republican President in history, besides President Donald Trump, infuriates liberals as much as former President Ronald Reagan.
There are a lot of parallels between Trump and Reagan.
One big difference between their times as President is that the Fake News Media has become faker than ever in the Trump era.
The first term of the two Presidents were similar, with vast economic improvement, which was struck short for Trump when China brought over the coronavirus.
Reagan’s re-election was historic, with him winning every state besides Minnesota and Washington, D.C.
One must wonder if Trump would have similar success if the Fake News Media wasn’t as corrupt as it is today.
Because as it turns out, the fake news of today is so corrupt that even Reagan, who has been dead since 2004, is being blamed for the problems of today.
MSNBC substitute host Mehdi Hasan went so far as to claim that the coronavirus deaths of today are actually caused because of Ronald Reagan’s time in the White House.
He began his segment with a clip of Reagan saying, “I think you all know that I’ve always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
Hasan responds to the clip by stating that those nine words have “become the operating governing principle for modern-day Republicans,” adding that Republicans “want us to believe that government does not and should not help people.”
He uses that point to blame that worldview for “hundreds of thousands of deaths.”
“Their abject failure, their dereliction of duty has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and unprecedented economic turmoil,” Hasan said. “Not only are they not upset about it or regretful, they have the audacity to be complaining about socialism.”
In reality, one could easily point toward Democrat failures for this.
It was Nancy Pelosi who held up coronavirus relief until the election was over, as not to give Trump a win before election day.
And it was Democrat New York Governor Andrew Cuomo who forced nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients, killing thousands of vulnerable New Yorkers.
Not to mention the months of lockdowns that have destroyed countless small businesses.
But instead of pointing to those, MSNBC is blaming Ronald Reagan.
