Kellyanne Conway Tried to Slam the WHO on Fox News But Only Proved She Doesn't Understand the Virus' Name

Kellyanne Conway Tried to Slam the WHO on Fox News But Only Proved She Doesn't Understand the Virus' Name
FOX News

Presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway continued making the rounds on Fox News to defend President Donald Trump's botched response to the global pandemic that's killed over 25,000 Americans.

She appeared on Fox and Friends in an attempt to justify the Tuesday announcement that the President would be halting American funding of the World Health Organization, accusing it of favoring China over the United States.


But in her attempts to defend the President, she only revealed her own ignorance of the virus.

Watch below.

Conway said:

"Some of the scientists and doctors say that there could be other strains later on...this is COVID-19, not COVID-1, folks. So you would think the people charged with the World Health Organization facts and figures would be on top of that...people should know the facts."

As a matter of fact, that wasn't a fact at all.

The suffix '19' from the virus's name comes from the year it was discovered, not from the number of strand it is.

Once again, Kellyanne was using "alternative facts."






People were stunned that she could work so closely to the crisis and not know this.





Conway also lauded the President for "shutting down" travel from China, despite over 400,000 people traveling from China to the United States since the order. What's more, she said the so-called ban worked, not acknowledging that the United States has seen more cases than any other country in the world.

Try as she might to defend the decision, Trump has been roundly criticized for halting the WHO's funding in the middle of a global pandemic.

Trump Brutally Fact-Checked After Boasting That Walmart's 'Thanksgiving Dinner' Is Cheaper Than Last Year

After Tuesday's election results, which saw Zohran Mamdani soar to election as New York City's next mayor on a campaign message laser-focused on affordability, Trump spoke with reporters and tried to make the case that Republicans are way better on the issue of affordability than Demcorats are.

Case in point, according to Trump: Walmart's 2025 "Thanksgiving Dinner" pack, which Trump boasted is 25% cheaper than in 2024.
