Reporters Deceptively Edit Trump's Words On Ventilators After Call With Nation's Governors
In a blatantly obvious attempt at trying to keep the uninformed in the dark while looking to incite further hysteria, left-wing reporters intentionally messed up a Trump quote on a coronavirus-related issue to make it seem like POTUS is not doing enough.
These “journalists” must’ve thought nobody would be paying attention.
They were wrong.
From Breitbart:
At least eight New York Times authors shared a deceptively edited quote Monday from President Donald Trump’s recent call with state governors, creating the false impression that the president is denying federal support for ventilators that are needed in hospitals treating coronavirus patients.
In his message, the president recommended that states procure respirators and ventilators because it would be faster — but added that the federal government “will be backing you.”
Here’s only part of Trump’s statement, as tweeted by a NYT national correspondent…

And here’s a whole host of other liberal hacks sharing the same biased nonsense…
Trump told governors they should not wait for the federal government to fill growing demand for respirators.

Is there a reason you cut off the quote where you did?

You didn't feel like the "We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself" was valuable to add?
Because the part you shared makes it sound like he's saying they're on their own. Which they're not.
