Senate hopeful Kris Kobach: COVID-19 numbers are 'being cooked' to hurt Trump



By Oliver Willis -July 27, 2020 6:00 PM

Tens of thousands of Americans have died from COVID-19.

Republican Senate candidate Kris Kobach claimed in mid-July that tallies of the number of people who have been died after being infected by the coronavirus are being exaggerated to hurt Donald Trump.

"I believe that the numbers are being cooked. The books are being cooked," Kobach said on the YouTube program "National File."

Kobach is running for the U.S. Senate in Kansas, where he previously served as secretary of state. Kobach also served as the vice chair of the Trump administration's so-called Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, attempting and failing to promote voter suppression myths.

The COVID-19 pandemic has killed over 147,000 Americans and infected over 4 million.

Hey Kobach, are you a baseball fan.............did you see what the baseball plan did.............not even two weeks into playing and a gazillion dollars to do testing ......not like the peons in this country who have to wait and and wait ...........and the Marlins didn't' tell anyone that players and coaches had tested positive and they played the Phillies anyway and now they are under quarantine for 14 days and Major League baseball has a problem ............your libertarian plan of greed and baseballs plan of greed is a failure, do you see the correlation .....JFC................

Finding something else to attribute it to.

for our Senate vacancy when Roberts, another horrible waste of time and space, leaves he will finally stop running for everything that comes open in Kansas. He just will not stop.

Sadly y'all may have to deal with him too. Here is hoping he gets beat. Actually I think we win if he gets through the primary. I am not sure he will even get that. You can count on him to out right all of the rest of them. He has gone full on jackass and stayed there for so long I think he even broke what little brain he had. He just keeps running and getting beat and running and getting beat.

I've heard them claim that if someone tests positive for COVID-19 and then gets killed in a car wreck, it's listed as a COVID-19 death.

<sarcasm> Because, you know, that happens enough to where there are probably just a few hundred actual deaths from the probably itself. </sarcasm>
