Trump’s failed coronavirus response led to the U.S. having the worst outbreak in the world, with the most deaths and cases of any country by far. Instead of presenting a plan to contain the virus, Trump and Republicans are using their convention to try to rewrite history and ignore the pandemic that killed on average more than 1,000 Americans a day this month.

CNN: “RNC largely ignores coronavirus pandemic”

BuzzFeed: “The Republican National Convention Is Creating A False Coronavirus Fantasy”

Washington Post: “Trump uses Republican convention to try to rewrite coronavirus history, casting himself as lifesaving hero”

Associated Press: “At Trump’s convention, the coronavirus pandemic has largely subsided, not continued to infect thousands of Americans a day.”

Vox : “The RNC keeps referring to Covid-19 in the past tense. 1,147 American deaths were reported Tuesday.”

NBC News: “For the second night in a row, you could be forgiven for watching the convention and having no idea a worldwide pandemic was raging. The COVID-19 crisis, which voters say is the most important issue facing the country right now, almost never came up Tuesday.”
