They want you to believe that more cases is because Trump isn\u2019t doing anything to stop the spread of the virus, and Trump doesn\u2019t care, and Trump doesn\u2019t know what to do, he\u2019s basically tuned out. They want you to believe that this virus is out of control. Trump says that if you test more, you\u2019re gonna find more cases. So here\u2019s sound bite number 2. We put together a montage of the media going nuts over it.<\/p>\n<p>WOLF BLITZER: (music) Why is the president falsely claiming that the increase in cases is due simply to more testing?<\/p>\n<p>KELLY O\u2019DONNELL: (voiceover) He claims testing itself makes the situation appear worse.<\/p>\n<p>JEREMY DIAMOND: (outdoor noise) False claim that testing is responsible for the rise in cases.<\/p>\n<p>KASIE HUNT: The president seems to not want more testing \u2019cause he thinks that shows more cases.<\/p>\n<p>KRISTIN WELKER: (voiceover) Even his own top health experts have widely disputed that testing is to blame.<\/p>\n<p>ANA CABRERA: (outdoor noise) The numbers aren\u2019t heading in the right direction, and it\u2019s not because we\u2019re testing more.<\/p>\n<p>RANDI KAYE: (outdoor noise) No, absolutely not.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hear that? Everybody knows that it is. When you test more, you\u2019re gonna find people asymptomatic; you\u2019re gonna find people symptomatic. This is undeniable. So whose fault is this? I wonder whose fault this is.<\/p>\n<p>BRIAN STELTER: In the Fox interview, he defaulted to his favorite Coronavirus lie, that is that the rise in cases is all due to the rise in testing. <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/05\/14\/coronavirus-takes-on-the-permanence-of-climate-change\/\">We found that on May 14th he really started bringing this up again<\/a>.
