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 Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
