Dropping these tapes now has one purpose and one purpose alone: to affect the outcome of the elections. //

Trump’s comments on-tape were made, not after 190,000 Americans had died. These comments weren’t made after 6 million positive tests. When these comments were made, how many cases and deaths were there in the United States? The answer is one case and zero deaths. If we fast forward to March 10th, there were less than 300 cases nationally and only a couple dozen deaths. //

ignoring in their comments (or burying them deep in stories) that the tapes were made February 7th and March 10th, not September 7th. Trump didn’t callously state this now. He cautiously commented then, while leftists fought him ideologically on every step he attempted to take in reducing the risk to Americans. //

Woodward's account of what Trump said about the virus came up in the media a while ago, its just being recycled as a new story.

He actually said nothing to Woodward that he didn't say in public. And something that's not contradictory is being spun as contradictory to make it sound like he lied, when he didn't.

The people pushing this nonsense seem incapable of complex thought. Evidence that was out then showed the virus was deadlier than the flu, but that doesn't necessarily mean there was a reason to panic about it then, nor is there a reason now. The panic at the time encouraged people to crowd into supermarkets to buy TP, which likely accelerated the spread of the virus.
