A quick search of Google (or Twitter or Facebook) will show a ton of results of both admitted partisan liberals and the supposed mainstream media blasting Trump Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross back at the end of January – a lot since then – over comments he made to Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business.
He said (back in January when the press were still calling Covid a nothing story and claiming it was just an attempt to distract from impeachment) that the outbreak, then mostly being felt abroad and especially in China, could “help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America, some to U.S., probably some to Mexico as well.”
He was torn apart for saying something so callous and calling the outbreak, essentially, an opportunity.
But Biden today LITERALLY called it an opportunity. And not, like Ross did, an opportunity for working Americans. But instead an opportunity for big gov’t and the global warmers.
“This crisis is showing us what is essential. I think it’s time we reward people who actually make this country work. I do — I do believe from this moment in this crisis we have an opportunity not just to rebuild the economy but to transform it.”
That’s a statement worthy of condemnation.
Now sure, Ross was pretty incorrect about the jobs, considering the massive unemployment, as people like Jake Tapper and Claire McCaskill are super excited to point out. But then, those job losses are from the lockdowns, aren’t they? Interesting.
What ain’t all hard to predict is how Biden “transforming” the country for the green future will work out. After all, you know what the climate change activists are saying on Twitter? That the lockdowns resulting in reduced air pollution show a path to how we can succeed.
You know, the lockdowns causing the job losses that Tapper wants to blame on Wilbur Ross? Yeah. Those.
Amazing.
