Republicans aren't running the show in the House of Representatives. Neither are they in control of the major media outlets. While Trump was banning travel from first China and then Europe - the Democrats were busy saying it was no big deal, go ahead and go out and eat, and visit Chinatown, and ride the subway - Trump is just a racist.
They tweeted this shit out! They gave interviews calling the travel bans racist. There is documented evidence of this.
He didn't imply the virus was a hoax, he was saying that the democrats calling him a racist for closing the borders a hoax. You believe anything they say on CNN, don't you.....CNN has lied about everything to do with Trump for years, been proved wrong countless times - and you go back for more.
