Just two weeks before the coronavirus is classified as a global pandemic, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany tells Fox News audiences that the virus won’t come to the United States… because Trump is the president.
This president will always put America first. He will always protect American citizens. We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here. We will not see terrorism come here. And isn’t that refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama?
Kayleigh McEnany
At the time of this writing, over 540,000 Americans have died from COVID-19. The virus is known to have entered the United States over a month before Kayleigh McEnany’s lie.
