WASHINGTON (Newsmax) – As anti-Trump media seeks to widely disseminate data on the COVID-19 case increases in red states Florida, Arizona, and Texas, they are selectively ignoring data on hospitalizations and mortality rates compared to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s New York, according to Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, on Newsmax TV.

“That’s what they do: They lie, they misrepresent, and they’ve taken their lead – well, I’m not sure if they’ve taken their lead from the Democrats or the Democrats took their lead from the media, but either way they work together and they misrepresent the facts,” Gohmert told “Saturday Report.”
Gohmert told host Grant Stinchfield the narrative is spinning away from the reality that the virus started in Wuhan, China – something media once called a conspiracy theory – is one example.
Another is pointing to “upticks” in Texas, Gohmert’s state, since late May, while ignoring hospitalization and death rates in Texas vs. New York.
“We’re testing people like crazy here in Texas,” Gohmert adding to Stinchfield. “But, Grant, if you look at the deaths, the precious lives that have been lost, New York deaths are up over 8,000 in that period; Texas is up a little over 700.
“Every life is precious, but we don’t have a governor sending people with COVID to our nursing homes. We don’t have them killing and spreading the virus to people who are most vulnerable like Gov. Cuomo did.”
The increased testing and increased cases are being cast against Trump, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., wanted this all along.
“We’re testing more than we’ve ever tests, and that’s a good thing – that’s what Pelosi and Schumer and those folks used to say,” Gohmert added, referring to fake news reports and “the liars on the left” he has had been spreading the coronavirus.
“We know that we’re getting a big influx of the coronavirus coming across our borders,” he added. “The left, Pelosi and Schumer have to know that, so for those that didn’t really want to believe it, you have to start believe that the Democrats don’t care about people getting the coronavirus here in America. They want them to get it, because anything they can do, no matter what lie, what kind of malicious prosecution they’re involved in, they want to defeat Donald Trump.
“That’s all they can think about right now,” he added.
Gohmert finished with a rebuke for “Cuomo, to be taunting Florida and conservative states,” having killed 8,000 New Yorkers in the past four weeks, while Texas’ deaths have totaled just 2,406 since the pandemic began.
Finally someone speaking the truth.
NY Politicians all have blood on their hands!
We need GOP to step up like Rep. Gohmert.
Hit them hard and furious, keep punching and informing the CNN gullibles how the Dems are lying and how they want dead people. They’re murderers.
I see we have stooped so low as to be reprinting New Max stuff.
Yet the propagandist fake news media praise Cuomo and vilify DeSantis.
He’s absolutely right. Texas is a large state and is now suffering unfortunately but Somehow when Texans die its Trumps fault and when NYers died like the flies, Cuomo was the hero cuz he was “handling” the pandemic superbly. Cut the crap! Cuomo killed thousands and even those, the main stream media threw on Trump. This is all an absolute plot to paint the President in a bad light. Can people light up please??’
why isn’t Cuomo brought to testify in Congress or being sued in court?
This is total bigotry and should be condemned by leaders of both parties
New York got clobbered early and made plenty of mistakes byt eventually reversed the trend despite the federal government sitting on its hands for weeks.
Texas watched it happen, was largely spared, didnt follow cdc guidelines and walked right into it. How is that responsible?
Even texas wasn’t ry all that bad. Cities like austin, Houston and Dallas did try to act. Florida on the other hand, as attested to by many of its residents and its Pulitzer prize winning celebrity Dave Barry, is again the dumbest state in the union.
NewsMax garbage to the max. Let the ignorant attack Cuomo with another make believe conspiracy theory. This bum Gohmert is also a Holocaust denier. That’s NewsMax quality and Texas GOP for you.
So many DittoHeads here proving that they don’t have any white matter inside their own.
Hmmm…. A short while ago this forum was filled with comments saying how Fauci or the Fake News or the Dems said there will be a spike from reopening and it has not happened. Seems like those who made those dumb comments now have moved on to a new theory that the virus is no longer deadly and the spike in cases must be due to more testing or whatever… Oh, and of course blame Coumo for telling nursing homes to follow CDC (Trump’s admin) guidelines. Unfortunately the death rate is a lagging indicator as many are in critical care for days or weeks. How about we deal with this virus with some sanity? Rather than Trump making rallys where they remove the social distancing stickers, how about take proper precautions or at least do what you can. As detestable as I find many of Trump’s actions and policies, I harbor no desire to see people dying to prove that he is not fit to be President.
Cuomo needs to open Sleep away camps today or he will have more blood , social unrest , mental illnesses on his hand . Shame on the pandering ocd coumo . Shame on him for making yiddisha kinder his political pawns
Shocking that you now carry stories from Newsmax which is a opinionated disreputable sourse slightly fore credible than OANN.
Gohmert is an embarrassment to Congress, Last week he had a childish tantrum during a hearing and kept banging on a table to try and disrupt a witness.
Butcher of Albany
plus his executive DNR Orders.
In China he would have long been Super for the dogs
Why attack the AP when it reports what these fascists say out of their own sickening mouths? They report what is said. If you’re ashamed of trumpf’s disgusting comments and racist tweets, then don’t feebly attack the AP.
Of course any site that doesn’t spout Democrat party propaganda is disreputable. Last week at the hearing the witness was going over his time which is against the rules but fatso nadler didn’t care but always stopped the Republican witnesses right when their time expired because the Democrat don’t care about the rules when it pertains to them.
i agree about his tweets which are not sensitive but hes much better then the radical dem party and there bias press
Avi kaye like the rabbi or Avi kaye like aliza kaye?
We need the Booooooogolo Boys to have a little talk with cuomo . There is simply no one else that can straighten him out .
there’s fauci talk , cuomo talk and ap talk ….. round that out with fake news and you’ve got your work cut out for you .
