Bernie Sanders: "How can anyone not conclude that the Democratic agenda and approach has been a failure?”
I see a lot of criticism of Trump for calling #coronavirus the Chinese virus. Please understand that the Chinese government is engaged in a global propaganda campaign to tell everyone that the virus was created and spread by the U.S. military. We have to do something.
