This week, Donald Trump was interviewed by CBS News when he was asked to defend a retweet he did of former game show host Chuck Woolery, who claimed that “everyone” is lying about coronavirus to hurt the president’s reelection chances.
CBS host Catherine Herridge pressed Trump about the tweet confusing Americans. “You understand this is confusing for the public…
“No,” Trump interrupted.
“I reposted a tweet that a lot of people feel,” he said. “But all I’m doing is making a comment. I’m just putting somebody’s voice out there. There are many voices. There are many people that think we shouldn’t do this kind of testing, because all we do, it’s a trap.”
The tweet Herridge was referring to while interviewing Trump was the following:
Woolery wrote, “The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it.”
