The head of Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force and Trump’s Vice President, Mike Pence, just lied to reporters about Coronavirus cases in Oklahoma, the place where Trump is about to hold a massive rally on Saturday.
According to Pence, Oklahoma has “flattened the curve,” and has seen “the number of cases declined precipitously.” LIES!
“In a very real sense, they’ve flattened the curve,” Pence claimed of that state. “And today their hospital capacity is abundant, the number of cases in Oklahoma has declined precipitously and we feel very confident going forward with the rally this coming weekend.”
In fact, Oklahoma reported 225 new cases of COVID-19 this past Saturday, its highest one-day total since the pandemic began. On Sunday, Tulsa County reported 89 new cases, the largest single-day increase since the state had its first case on March 6th.
