Jennifer Rubin says that more Republicans will die of coronavirus than Democrats because President Trump and right-wing media have downplayed the threat pic.twitter.com/wmzMMPc3qZ

The Washington Post’s so-called conservative opinion writer Jennifer Rubin made an outlandish prediction about coronavirus – even by her standards – yesterday on MSNBC. (Daily Caller)
Appearing on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” Rubin blamed media consumed by supporters of President Donald Trump, including Fox News, for downplaying the threat and keeping their “core viewers” from taking precautions.
…
“There is a particular cruelty/irony that it is their core viewers, the Republican older viewers, who are the most at risk,” Rubin said. “And when you think about it, which party immediately canceled all of their rallies? Which party immediately started having their political figures really portray and use their lies as an example? It was the Democrats.”
“So, I hate to put it this way, but there will be less Democrat deaths because there will be less mass gatherings,” she continued. “There will be less opportunities for people to congregate and share this horrible disease. So it is really a very short-sighted strategy.”
Citing the false claim that Trump said the coronavirus was a “hoax,” Rubin claimed that the president and the right-wing media are now putting their previous positions “down the memory hole.”
Rubin failed to mention the president’s recent action to suspend travel from Europe for 30 days or the strict social distancing guidelines promoted by his coronavirus task force.
Both measures are being implemented to flatten the infection curve to prevent what is happening in Europe from manifesting in full here.

Jennifer rubin, have to tell you but ol carma has paid a lot of visits to people and I think you are entitled for a visit.
Amen to that, butch! She has to be one demented and delusional individual to even have a thought like that. But then, those adjectives apply pretty much to all the vacuous, petulant liberal media and Democrats. She should lose her job for that, but since her bosses are very likely in agreement with her, she’ll probably get paid more for her tribal!
Carol Peterson – It’s amazing that the same Dem idiots complained about racism when Pres. Trump ordered travel bans from infected countries. They complained that he was a conspiracy theorist from the very beginning. From PJ Media: “On December 30, 2019, scientists in China “a cluster of patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology was observed in Wuhan, China, and reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) China bureau in Beijing. A week later, January 7, 2020, a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was isolated from these patients.” Pres. Trump reacted to the Coronavirus in two days and he declared a public health emergency on Jan. 31, 2020. Pres. Trump and his Coronavirus task force, lead by VP Mike Pence have been working diligently on high speed testing, developing a vaccine, working with insurance companies to waive deductibles and Medicare to provide free testing and COVID-19 related care. Many retailers are working together to provide portable test sites in their sectioned-off parking lots. Also, financial aid is being made available to those affected by COVID-19. Many more things are in the works. Also, Pres. Trump did not call the outbreak a hoax – he called how MSM was reporting it a hoax.
Let me see, how many days did Obummer respond to the H1N1 epidemic? I think it was 4 months after the outbreak to declare it a national emergency. I can’t seem to recall that he did anything else, except for downplaying the severity of it.
I am so sick of the Dems blatantly lying about everything that Pres. Trump is trying to do. They’re even trying to sneak Planned Parenthood monies into the Bill that just passed the House. The Senate won’t pass it and Pres. Trump won’t sign it until it is fixed. Pres. Trump has made it clear that the Bill is for COVID-19 related aspects only.
“They’re even trying to sneak Planned Parenthood monies into the Bill that just passed the House.”
Right, that crazy bitch Pelosi. She is completely insane and needs to go back to California and check into a home for the feeble-minded.
The people of CA don’t want her that is why they keep sending her to Washington
She should tell that to CA Governor Gavin Newsom. How ironic, that the thousands of tented homeless on the sidewalks and in the alleys of LA and SFO, who were championed by the governor, only yesterday, for exercising their right to be homeless, are now his Achilles Heel. How many will survive the coronavirus, humm? Was Biden counting on their votes too? Unless the Ken Doll governor figures how to provide decent shelter and adequate healthcare for them, and soon, they may not be alive in November.
CA gov being her nephew, he will only do what he is told. And illegals will come before the homeless and WE the People of CA! Count on it!
AMERICANS WE HAVE TO TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA FROM THE EVIL CRIMINAL ACTS OF DEMOCRATS………………………..TO SOLVE AMERICAS PROBLEMS MAKE THIS CHOICE WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2020, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20).
I love that scripture, Texas Lady, and it is exactly where the vacuous liberal Democrats are in our country today. It really hurts my heart to see how far they have fallen from the party they once were. Amen to everything you said, and may God help and protect our great President, our country, and our our Constitution!
Yep, Rubin is one sick perverted bitch.
What a stupid cow!
Sounds like a good description! 🙂
Poor cow!
Might be true since here are so many more Republicans!
However, Since Democrats have Booed God out of and off the party & platform, those who rejected God will not live in Heaven for eternity. Those who have Biblically accept God will have eternal life with Him
http://www.godauthoredbible.com
A big loud AMEN to that, Gene! Their hearts are so filled with hate and rage and vindictiveness, that unless they sincerely repent and change their hearts, God will say, “I do not know ye!”
Boy, you people don’t get it. Most Republicans don’t need the so called Democrats. We have all we need to live, less population density, no fees, rents, mortgages, etc. the only person that would make such a comment is a city dweller.
Remember: Wine causes Liberals
Howard R. Tugel – That’s not nice. I’m a wine drinker and I’m a very conservative Republican. I used to be a Dem a long time ago and I didn’t like wine then.
right after all you whinnie satanic liberal cry baby democrats die off the rest of us can live normal. all the b.s. you put out you must have to constantly wipe you ass because it runs continuously from the shit hole
I think it is just the opposite. Dems will die because they DON’T watch Fox News to get the latest info. They are too proud, to ignorant and too uninformed. Practically everything that Biden said he would do regarding Covid-19 in the debate last nite, Trump has either already done or is in the process of putting into place. Pathetic
They will die because of all the homeless plague centers in their large and polluted cities.
She is absolutely wrong, More Democrats are going to die because of the masses in the city , mathematical probability is greater for city dwellers to come in contact with Covin20 carriers than country folks playing with the cows,chicken and hogs. So CNN when those idiot talking heads get it ,you can go off the air and the propaganda will cease!
simply put, since dems prefer someone to take care of them, they will do nothing to improve their life and immune system. If you let someone take care of you your more likely to have compromised immune system, therefor greater chance of becoming sick. You have to select a healthy lifestyle to to be healthy.
Can’t believe these stupid idiots are paid to give opinions. So glad I no longer subscribes to the nasty post.
I cancelled my subscription very shortly after Mr. Obama moved into the people’s White House, for this very reason. All opinions and even supposedly “news” articles, leaned way to the left. No thanks!
The morons keep coming out of the woodwork. Where do they get these idiots? Just look at the putz Biden put in charge of his healthcare initiative. Architect of Obama care who believes that anyone 75 or older should just die. Does that apply to Biden and Sanders?????
When are people going to learn you need to keep politics out of subjects like this? We are all Americans and this is an external threat to the country as a whole. Please give up this negative garbage.
@Marvin Clark anything that is written is becoming political. I don’t wish harm on anyone. They turn it political b/c of Trump. People look it up during the last administration the Swine Flu – 1000 people died before they even let it public at least this admin is trying to nip it in the bud. Maybe if the MEDIA stopped panicking people the world would be better off.
I think “Jenny” needs to get off the drugs! In fact, I wouldn’t be suprised if she’s privately wishing that more republicans will die. And if she is, she needs serious pyschiatric help!
This lying Democrat is wrong. They are not putting out the right news to the ignorant Democrats so they are not learning how to protect themselves. It is people like her who refuses to listen to the truth, therefore, they will be the ones who will suffer. By the way, it is the REPUBLICANS who are putting themselves in self quarantine to protect OTHERS while they make sure they don’t have the virus. Haven’t heard of any DEMOCRATS taking good advice. All I see your Democrat paid media doing is trying to make people panic. Now, I call that stupidity.
Betty Jay – These Dimwitocrats haven’t been paying attention to real news. There are many Dems that changed their party to Republican. It’s more and more every day because of the Dems’ stupidity, greed and corruption. This movement includes men and women politicians, blacks, Latinos, Asians, etc. They are awakened.
She gives Darkies a bad name .
Let the games begin! These individuals attempting to get their face before a camera should be embarrassed of their ignorance. I guess I should check with my bookie and see how the odds are shifting?
“Ya can’t fix srupid”.
Where do these idiots come from?
Ray – They have been brainwashed/indoctrinated in the socialist LGBTQ public schools. The students aren’t learning curriculum these days. They’re taught to be good little socialist followers who can’t think for themselves. They suck at real life skills when they “graduate”. They’ve been taught to hate everything that they have not been taught/brainwashed. They don’t know anything about American history or current events. They’re confused about their gender and they think that abortion is perfectly the natural thing to do because they don’t appreciate life.
More of what we have come to expect from the foul-smelling (Com)Post in our Nation’s Capital. Ho Hum.
“I hate to put it this way”, but just how stupid are Democrats and RINO’s?
Show me a virus that discriminates based on politics, and I’ll invest if it affects only stupid people.
JohnK – If I could rate your comment, it would be at least 10 stars!
John, Would you consider changing the Democrats & Rino’s to “Never Trump-er “.The groups of Communist and Socialist and Rainbow flag ,Open borders ,Muslim ,baby killers ,2nd Amendment destroyers ,Treason agents (FBI,Dept.Justice , Federal judges ,talking heads ect !) could be included .>>>
The way to fix stupid is to break out you AR15
What an idiot!!! Again the left is during whatever it can to discredit Trump and all his efforts to make America safe. Let me relate to you what I heard from China. The idea that the virus was introduced into China by an American soldier is true. From what I heard from this little voice was that COVID-19 was cultured and tested by a lab in Washington state and taken to China in 2019 for it to be introduced. Now you ask yourself why would anyone do this…of course to take down the US economy and allow China’s pick to win the 2020 elections, the democrats, thus China and the dems win and America becomes a socialist country. Now remember this to me is just a conspiracy theory but there might be some truth to it and deserves as much validity as Jenny Rubin’s ideas.
When they are lying in the morgue, does anyone put a tag on their toe that says REP or DEM? Why must the press make this into a political virus? 60 have died in the US, but almost 20,000 have died here from the normal flu. Does the press even report that fact? Or the fact that 80+% of the worldwide cases are mild? It seems to me that the press is pushing for an economic disaster so they can blame it all on our President. And the only people making money on the stock market are short selling bastards. Shame on the press, shame on the liberals!!!
All those people advising her, you know, the ones that live inside her head are in constant contact with the Moon-Men. (And WE KNOW how they are!) These voices talk to Hillery too, have you noticed?
Democrats – ignorant, arrogant liars who just can’t stop blowing hot air to prove how arrogant and ignorant they are
Jennifer Rubin is not reporting on how many in the Mainstream Media industry are flat on their backs with the Wuhan China Virus but she is just like Senator Schuemer whose law license is being called for in the wake of his threats too when they tried to panic the nation instead of investigating who introduced the Wuhan into that nursing home that has half of the deaths in the nation from the Wuhan at that nursing home (29) and AG Barr should be asking her for her evidence to target Republicans – if it’s only her loose lips then she should be jailed for it.
When they complain about Trump not allowing travel from other countries and then say they are the ones who first started the idea to not gather in large groups they are lying.
One sentence she said (” Which party immediately started having their political figures really portray and use their lies as an example” ? ” It was the Democrats”. ” So says Jennifer Rubin.
How can anyone in their right mind consider this as a real pandemic when about 95% of those that have come down with the “Coronavirus” have survived after enduring about two weeks of miserable symptoms. The number is actually much higher than that comparing the number of cases versus the number of deaths, at least in the United States. It hits the elderly hardest, especially those 80 and over, with respiratory diseases like emphysema, COPD, and seemingly, the bed-ridden. Keep something else in mind. We are “blessed” with the regular flu and its 13 plus(?) strains every single year and it kills thousands of people in America every year. What if we panicked like we have with this “Coronavirus” and shut everything down like we have with that? It kills thousands more which makes it more dangerous, right? It is because we can’t because more people will die from all of the shutdowns and shortages and they do not have a “cure”. This new virus will be added to them and we can take precautions to minimize the chances of getting it and if you do, medications to deal with it.
Dear Jennifer, following your ridiculous comments is like watching a spoiled brat whining about not being able to have another cookie. Perhaps you can search independent sites (you know how to do that, right?) and see Obama’s response to the April 2009 H1N1 Flu pandemic before pontificating about Trump and Republicans. There were no heads to the departments needed to lead this like CDC, FEMA, NIH etc., so Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), stated in a press briefing that she was serving as the coordinator of the federal response, really?. It wasn’t until October that he declared a national health emergency after 1,000 U.S. deaths it was in June 2009 that the swine flu declared a pandemic. Under Obama there was no international travel restrictions while you and your haters blasted Trump as a racist and xenophobe for immediately banning China travel. He also declared a national emergency and pandemic when less than 65 had died. I am glad you got to work for the WP since you fit in perfectly with their socialist agenda and looking to undermine Trump by any accusation and lie they can find and have you voice it for them. It sounds like you would fit in well as a telemarketer if you ever lose this position.
Corona isn’t the only thing spreading throughout our country. Obviously the WP is propagating stupidity and insanity. But perhaps this makes sense since the paper is usually found in the bottom of the bird cage!
Wow! I don’t really know what to say to that particular piece of garbage! I think that this Virus has made people who don’t even have it, lose their frickin minds! What a completely asinine thing to say! And they say that WE are the deplorable ones! HA!
Too stupid to deserve anything but “first class idiot!” People like her are the ones splitting our country.
Well, Democrats get a large number of their voters from the grave, so. . . .
DUH–Jennifer Rubin –do you carry a BA degree? MA degree? High school degree? where is your research…DUH…thought hearing people are smart?
‘Cuse me…that shows how dumb down the brain has gotten??
D-U-H????????
It’s a virus. It doesn’t know democrats from republicans. If republicans are more affected, perhaps it’s because they are out in the world trying to actually do something useful. We all need to figure out how we can put Nancy in a lock down rehab. Get Hillary and Obama in a cell…together. Get Bernie moved to his new home in Cuba, Get Bill C. to start doing basket weaving for his stress, preferably in a locked room. Draining the swamp would be more effective if we started at the top. Make a Cleaner America! Be quick. There’s not much time.
If this be true, it is only because the majority of Dimwits are basement dwellers with very few friends or acquaintances. Republicans are happy social people.
10,720 have died from the victoria b strain virus in the u.s.. this flu season without a panic.
7,280 have died from other a strain corona virus without a panic.
69 have died from the covid 19 (v) virus and everybody panics. does something seem really odd about this?
and over 61,000 died in the 2017-18 flu season without any panic.
kind of reminds me of james thurber’s short story “the day the dam broke” in a town that was two hundred feet higher than the dam all panicked.
and it is really underwhelming about the democrats concern for the victims infected with the flu. when their lack of concern for the flu season since early january to march tells it all.
let us not forget the Swine Flu/H1N1 when the obama Socialist regime did nothing for almost 6 Months and where at least 4,000 Americans died, but of course the media and of course the Demorate/Leftists/Liberals/Socialists don’t seem to remember that far back. Or perhaps their selective memory loss onlt applies to the stupid things that they do.
Interesting, prediction considering it is Democrats that live in Big Cities where the virus is able to spread readily. It was democrats that decided that second hand smoke can crawl through a building’s ventilation system and stock babies in their cribs like a demonic smoke ghost. Yet, somehow now they think republicans that live in rural America for the most part and have built in “social distance” are going to be more likely to catch it. They are truly insane.
well, all you dumb red necks are gonna die of your own ignorance
How did this woman get her job? Did she win a lottery? She writes ” there will be less Democrat deaths because there will be less mass gatherings.” The word you should be looking for is FEWER. Even reading it, it hurts the ears. Did anyone at the WoPo ever take English? Perhaps it’s just not a requirement As for the meat of her story, it is just overrunning with sanctimonious superiority. Who restricted the travel to and from the China hot spot. That alone saved many Americans even as it drew the derision from people like her. There is a purpose of the President to try to calm fears even as he took every action to ameliorate the epidemic. The virus is not going to go away until we find a cure, (they’re working on it) or until everyone has come down with it and has recovered or, as appears in a
tragic FEW cases, dies. We will never know how things might have spun out on control if
the Democrats were in charge, but we get a hint from people like Jennifer Rubin that it
would not be pretty.
I think the exact opposite because conservatives follow rule like to stay home. Liberals don’t care what anybody tells them to do and will go out a spread the virus as fast as they can.
The virus has no preference to whom it infects…that the foolish Democrats believe they are exempt due to their political views is hilarious. I wonder where these people came from. Are they illegal aliens from another planet, or just so jealous of the Republican party that they lost all of their intelligence, and turned into a group of people who are self destructing.
God is in control, and even their denying Him doesn’t make His Truth and love go away..we will be judged, and that time is coming soon.
Bella Pelosi, better known as Dracula. Sneaked in a 1 billion Dollar funding for Plan Parenthood (The abortion factory) in the Coronavirus bill. Never let a crisis go to waste is one of the Demoncrat 10 Satan Commandments.
Wuhan Virus AKA: Coronavirus weaponized by China and their treasonous Godless demoncratic Commie party and cohorts the fake media, academia, Hollywood, Millennials…to crash the greatest US economy ever! And to take down the greatest president ever, President Trump!! Keep up the great work President Trump! 2020 and beyond! From the Patriots of a Commie Demoncrat free America!
Oh, for sure, let people of her political mindset run the country. There are boogey men in EVERY crisis. Just chase after them.
Is that Wishful Thinking ?
