Chuck Woolery, the former host of popular game shows like Love Connection and Wheel of Fortune, made headlines earlier this week for a series of tweets.

On July 12, Woolery, a Republican, tweeted out a conspiracy theory that scientists, doctors, Democrats and the media around the world were all collaborating in a massive lie about the global pandemic just to hurt the United States economy—the only positive of Trump's presidency—to hurt Trump's reelection chances. Woolery was not specific on whether the estimated 590,000 people who died worldwide were in on the conspiracy.


The tweet gained widespread attention when it was retweeted by President Donald Trump.



A day later, Woolery returned to Twitter.

It seems his opinion on the risks of the virus changed after his son tested positive for it.

He wrote on Twitter:

"To further clarify and add perspective, Covid-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of [sic] those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones."

Shortly after posting about his son, Woolery deleted his Twitter account.


Similar to Woolery, the President has been reluctant to admit the seriousness of the pandemic.

During an interview with CBS's Catherine Herridge, Trump was asked:

"You reposted a tweet yesterday saying that CDC and health officials are lying. You understand this is confusing for the public."
"So who do they believe? You, or the medical professionals like Dr. Fauci?"

Trump responded:

"I didn't make a comment. I reposted a tweet that a lot of people feel."
"But all I am doing is making a comment. I'm just putting somebody's voice out there."
"There are many voices. There are many people that think we shouldn't do this kind of testing, because all we do, it's a trap."

Twitter couldn't help but notice the cosmic irony of Woolery learning his lesson the hard way.


Some thought the disappearance of Woolery's account was due to a suspension for his false claims and promotion of conspiracy theories.

We could all stand to pay a little more attention to the experts of the world.



Hopefully Chuck Woolery's son recovers soon and the former game show host will have learned a lesson about listening to real experts.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers.
