(Mark Meadows) insisted that in his upcoming book, he “actually” outlined how Trump had a “false positive” but then got two subsequent tests that “showed he didn’t have COVID during the debate.”
Meadows added: “And yet, you know the way that the media wants to spin it is certainly to be as negative about Donald Trump as they possibly can while giving Joe Biden a pass.”
However, Meadows wrote in his book that the ex-president scored a negative from a rapid antigen test, which is highly flawed, after testing positive. And in reality, Trump wasn’t tested before the debate because he arrived late to the event. Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, the moderator of that debate, later acknowledged there was an “honor system” for the two candidates to arrive having already tested negative.
Even the reliably pro-Trump Newsmax anchor seemed a bit skeptical of Meadows’ explanation. “The timing is interesting, though, you have to admit. I mean, wasn’t it just a week later they choppered him to Walter Reed and he was very sick?” Schmitt asked.
Seemingly unprepared for even a mild challenge from Newsmax, Meadows struggled to give a coherent response.
“Yeah, listen, any time we look at things, and we look at tests, and we look at what happened, it’s, it’s certainly, that’s what I outlined in the book,“ he rambled. “And... talk about that Walter Reed visit. But there are a lot of great stories in the book.”
News of Trump’s previously unreported positive COVID-19 test sparked renewed scrutiny over the former administration's careless and reckless handling of coronavirus protocols.
After being hospitalized for the virus, Trump later suggested he caught it from Gold Star families at a White House event he held one day after the initial positive test.
Meadows also recounted in the book that the White House doctor informed him of the positive COVID-19 result as Trump was heading to a Pennsylvania rally—and after the then-president had attended the “superspreader” event celebrating Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation.
Meadows' response sure looks like a lie, doesn't it? Really smart of Trump to say he likely caught it from Gold Star families. Even if he DID think that were true, why would you put down Gold Star families by saying it? We so so much evidence that Trump isn't very wise.
What are the most patriotic things a person can do? Get vaccinated and boostered, distance and wear a mask. Which type of person is most likely not to do those patriotic things? A trump supporter.
What is another flaw in many Trump supporters? They don't answer questions.
