In a surprising accusation from a major Hollywood figure, comedian Chris Rock is holding Democrats responsible for the spread of the coronavirus, saying party leaders “let the pandemic come in” while they were busy pushing the ultimately unsuccessful impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Chris Rock made the accusation in a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times in which he also discussed President Trump and the use of blackface in entertainment.
The comedian told the Times that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Congressional Democrats allowed the virus to spread because they were focused on impeachment proceedings.
“It was totally up to Pelosi and the Democrats. Their thing was, ‘We’re going to get him impeached,’ which was never going to happen. You let the pandemic come in. Yes, we can blame Trump, but he’s really the 5-year-old,” Rock said.
Democrat leaders showed little to no public interest in the coronavirus pandemic during its early months. In January, when the gravity of the virus was becoming apparent, Congressional Democrats staged a photo-op in which they solemnly walked the articles of impeachment through the Capitol rotunda.
Later that month, Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) infamously tore up a copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address on live television, even though the address directly referenced the pandemic and promised that the White House “will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.”
Breitbart News has reported on how the Democrats’ impeachment effort cost America valuable time in its fight against the coronavirus. House Democrats didn’t take up the coronavirus in the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia until early February.
In his Times interview, Chris Rock showed little respect for the commander in chief, comparing him to a child ruler.
“Did you ever see that movie The Last Emperor, where like a 5-year-old is the emperor of China? There’s a kid and he’s the king. So I’m like, it’s all the Democrats’ fault. Because you knew that the emperor was 5 years old. And when the emperor’s 5 years old, they only lead in theory. There’s usually an adult who’s like, ‘OK, this is what we’re really going to do.'”
The newspaper asked Rock if he thinks Hollywood’s rush to expunge all past uses of blackface in entertainment has gone too far.
“If I say they are, then I’m the worst guy in the world. There’s literally one answer that ends my whole career,” he replied. “Blackface ain’t cool, OK? That’s my quote. Blackface is bad. Who needs it? It’s so sad, we live in a world now where you have to say, I am so against cancer. “I just assumed you liked cancer.” No, no, no, I am so against it. You have to state so many obvious things you’re against.”
Rock also said that the Obama presidency didn’t represent a positive for black Americans.
“Obama becoming the president, it’s progress for white people. It’s not progress for Black people.”

Yup.
"Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." Joseph Stalin
The USA has lost WWIV to China with no other weapons but China Virus and some cash to buy democrats.
Yes, the Democrats were busy tilting at the impeachment windmill while the virus was coming in. No, that’s not entirely accurate: the virus was ALREADY HERE when Democrats were tilting at the impeachment windmill.
Partisan politics has gotten in the way of facts. Democrats can’t have an ‘early unknown epidemic’ because that destroys the Trump Virus narrative.
If the virus was already prevalent in our population [especially the large cities] then there was nothing anyone—including Trump, could do to stop it; and that narrative gets reduced to Trump’s on/off stance on masks or whatever else Democrats can conjure up. Basically, it knocks the wheels out from under it. It’s exactly why they are so resistant to early prevalence.
Chris Rock is equally off base in pinning the same thing on Democrats. House democrats have been as useless as tits on a boar hog ever since Trump got elected. One damn dog and pony show after another in their quest to get the Bad Orange Man.
Would it have mattered if House Democrats hadn’t gone off the rails?
No. Little if anything would be different.

Rock is wrong. The whole medical system reported to Trump . Only he has the power to make the decisions. Pelosi could do what she wanted and said anything and Trunmp would have ignored her. Trump has used pressure and presidential power to cow the department heads to do his bidding. Pelosi simply does not have that power. Trump has placed his people in all inporatant positions.

All of sudden Hollywood is relevant.
DON’T WORRY CHRIS ... WE’LL BE JOKING ABOUT TRUMP SOON
ONE-N-DONE, YOU GOT PLAYED; Time To Play-On
Remember ... ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES ... So STFU Bitch
Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
The quiet part is becoming very loud. Threats of left-wing political violence if President Trump is reelected have gone from subtext to the plain text. Writing at The Atlantic, Shadi Hamid warns of “mass unrest and political violence across American cities” if Trump wins. The Democrats are embracing their inner movie villain: It votes for Biden, or it gets the riots again. [from link]

I’ve been saying this for a couple months.
And it’s a form of extortion. Want the rioters out of the streets? Vote for Biden. This is a risky, desperate and despicable gambit by Democrats. It’s risky because if enough of their own voters pick up on it, they won’t just lose them this election.
They will leave the party. For good.
