    Several members of the media are now grasping at straws in order to excuse their dismissal of the lab-leak theory in 2020, many of them pointing fingers at former President Trump.

    The notion that COVID leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology was widely dismissed as a racist "conspiracy theory" and "fringe" nonsense when it was first pushed by Republicans in 2020. But the COVID lab-leak theory has since been viewed as the most probably by the FBI and U.S. Energy Department, prompting the pundits and reporters who rejected it in the first place to blame Trump as such a lightning rod at the time, they essentially had no choice but to oppose it.

    While many focus on the "low confidence" angle because the Energy Department isn’t certain where COVID originated – some other agencies still favor the natural origin hypothesis – others have suggested Trump and members of his administration were so vile and racist that their theory had to be dismissed out of hand.

    FBI DIRECTOR SAYS COVID PANDEMIC ‘MOST LIKELY’ ORIGINATED FROM CHINESE LAB

    "Everybody has an excuse for their bias and their activism and lack of logic," media analyst Joe Concha told Fox News Digital. "And when in doubt, break glass and blame Trump for everything."…

    President Trump was right all along. Democrats and the media openly sided with China and the CCP on the issue. The mainstream news media acted in a vile and evil manner.

    The TDS of the mainstream media and elected democrats who preferred to believe the CCP over other Americans knew no bounds then.

    What a poorly written op-ed piece linked in the OP, just creating pro-Trump conspiracy theories.

    Trump is and was a stupid, viciously impotent fool whose inaction and unearned vanity promoted disease and death to Americans. For fox news opinion writers to blame the stupidity of Trump on left wing journalist just tells me they are nothing but shills, still, for a man whose brain and morals seem to be in a syphilitic stupor.

    Never once in my lifetime may I see a Democrat admit they are wrong instead of blaming someone else. That is all they do. And, I mean all they do.

    Obviously, Trump is STILL living "Rent Free" in the Minds of Many...
    [​IMG]
    Most "Controversial Public Figures" STILL "Live Rent Free" in the "minds of so many"...
    People who constantly OBSESS over them 24/7 to the point of the Pathological Obsession ruining their lives
    Hunter Biden, Hillary, Obama, Etc...

    ***At least, Trump being on people's radar makes RATIONAL SENSE...
    A person who (as of now) is the heavy favorite to be the GOP Nominee in 2024, should always be on the minds of the Informed Voter...
    As opposed to Pathological Obsessions that revolve around those who have ZERO Chance of ever Running for President in the Future:
    Such as Hunter Biden, Hillary, and Obama...
    __________

    Anyway, Back to the OP Topic:
    It is TRUE that the Lab Theory was dismissed just b/c Trump was pushing it...
    Trump's Credibility was SO LOW:
    That EVERYTHING That he said had ZERO Credibility...

    When somebody had a track record of telling people to Drink Bleach and Inject Lysol...
    ...any statement about "Lab Leak" is going to be dismissed...

    Nah, you can call Trump whatever you want, but you'll be called out on denying what you said.

    "seems like"? LMAO!
    The post that you quoted says NOTHING about "Blaming Trump for COVID"...
    The Quoted Post refers strictly to Trump's HANDLING of the Covid Epidemic

    I didn't vote for and do not support Trump. I was talking about Democrat culpability. They have none and just blame everyone else. Funny how every single discussion in politics, whenever Leftists cannot debate, they just mention Trump

    By that logic you would be OK to be a China spy balloon.

    The Term "BLAMING TRUMP FOR COVID" Would Imply That Someone is Accusing Trump of Actually Creating the Virus (Himself) and Unleashing it into The World
    ***I Have Seen No Claims of That Nature

    Again, we still don't know. Perhaps those who proposed the lab leak theory deserved less ridicule. I guess we can give them a lollipop for their butthurt. But otherwise, who cares? What are you going to do, send China a bill?

    That simply issued true. Lots of politicians admit mistakes. Democrats and Republicans. Not all and not often, but they do.
    Trump - never ever.

    "We were wrong, made an absolute ass of ourselves, and allowed everybody to see our perspectives were driven by misdirected political hate.... oh well."

    How do you know poetical extremism?

    Even Biden’s blunders some attempt to pin on him.

    You’re wrong.
    Trump has apologized many times during the course of his political career. Google it.
