In a Friday interview on Fox & Friends, Donald Trump Jr. parroted the Trump administration's latest rhetoric about COVID-19.

Dismissed as a hoax while at the same time restricting travel because of the non-existent—their words—threat, the Trump White House also sought to weaponize the coronavirus.


But not in the way popularized in science fiction thrillers. Instead President Donald Trump and his acolytes seek to use the coronavirus as a political weapon against Trump's opposition.

To that end Don Jr. appeared on Fox & Friends to spread his usual vitriol, lies and smirks.

Fox host Brian Kilmeade set up the premise for Don Jr. saying:

"And so now we're getting to sprint towards November for—to—to see if your dad can get four more years. Are you surprised the way they've been handling the coronavirus situation, meaning Democrats?"

In what always looks like a scripted appearance, Don Jr. had a ready response for Kilmeade's jumbled question.

Junior said:

"Not at all. I mean, we've seen—like you said, we've seen this play out for four years."
"Anything that they can use to try to hurt Trump, they will. Anything he does in a positive sense, like you heard from the reporter that was just suspended from ABC, they will not give him credit for."
"The playbook is old at this point."
"But for them to try to take a pandemic and seemingly hope that it comes here, and kills millions of people so that they could end Donald Trump's streak of winning, is a new level of sickness."
"You know, I don't know if this is coronavirus or Trump derangement syndrome, but these people are infected badly."

Sometimes people can get so desperate for approval or attention they'll sink to any depth.

But most people didn't sympathize with Jr.'s latest ploy on Fox.











However Fox & Friends and Don Jr. aren't looking to spread accurate information. Both seek attention and ratings from a devoted base.

Saying whatever they need to say to get that is just standard operating procedure.

Nancy Mace's Claim That No One Would Know Simone Biles' Name If Men Competed Against Her Gets Epically Fact-Checked

South Carolina MAGA Republican Representative Nancy Mace has been making a name for herself by being the most vulgar and vile anti-trans person in Congress. She's screamed transphobic slurs in official committee meetings and attacked anyone who opposes her bigotry.

Now she's decided to take on the most decorated gymnast in history—in women's and men's gymnastics—Simone Biles, who holds the record for the most Olympic and World Championship medals combined. Biles won 41 medals in just those events, surpassing all other gymnasts.

Vance Tried To Make A Joke About Seeing 'Les Misérables' At The Kennedy Center—And It's Peak Cringe

Vice President JD Vance had people groaning after he made a bad joke about the production of Les Misérables he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, attended at the Kennedy Center with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The musical, set in 19th century France, tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison for stealing a loaf of bread. The story touches on timeless themes such as justice and mercy—and also happens to be about people resisting an authoritarian takeover, which many find ironic given the Trump administration's response to protests in Los Angeles.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.
