Georgia Governor Apologizes After Misleading Graph Showing Virus Cases Dropping Over Time Sparks Backlash

Georgia Governor Apologizes After Misleading Graph Showing Virus Cases Dropping Over Time Sparks Backlash

Georgia's Republican governor, Brian Kemp, faced backlash even from President Donald Trump when he made the decision last month to begin easing stay at home orders in the state.

People didn't have much faith in his decision, considering he didn't learn about the prevalence of asymptomatic carriers until weeks after it became public knowledge.


Kemp's office is still trying to minimize the threat posed by the virus in an effort to justify the move to prematurely begin reopening. Now, it looks like they're willing to fudge public data to do so.

A graph released by the Georgia Department of Public Health documenting virus deaths in five Georgia counties, at first glance, looks promising.

It appears to show a consistently downward trend in deaths and hospitalizations in Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, Gwinnet, and Hall counties over time.

But take a closer look at the x-axis.

The dates go from April 28 to April 27, then the 29, then May 1 to April 30, followed by May 6, May 4, May 5, all the way back to April 25, then May 2, May 7, April 26, May 3, May 8, and May 9.

In other words, the dates are completely out of order, resulting in a graph that looks more promising than it actually is.

Governor Kemp's communications director Candice Broce offered up a bizarre explanation for the confusing and downright misleading graph.

But all was not forgiven.





They weren't buying Broce's explanation either.



What a mess.

Elizabeth Warren Rips Education Secretary's Mind-Numbing Video For 'Teacher Appreciation Week'

Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized Education Secretary Linda McMahon for paying tribute to educators during "Teacher Appreciation Week," noting the hypocrisy of McMahon's actions as she honors teachers on one hand and works to dismantle the Department of Education on the other.

In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order empowering McMahon “to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities.”

Town Hall Crowd Erupts In Jeering Chants After GOP Rep. Has Older Woman Dragged Out

New York Republican Representative Mike Lawler has angered his own constituents after he had a woman dragged out of his town hall for pressing him on his loyalty to President Donald Trump.

Emily Feiner, whose Bluesky profile describes her as a Jewish retired social worker and mother of two, later shared that she "was certainly no threat" and that she "asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didn’t answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed."
