and American families, let alone all the health
challenges, the deaths and the infection rates,”
Ingraham said. “Because some people think it is
Trump’s downfall and they’re cheering it on.”
All of Fox’s prime-time hosts have emphasized
the virus’ origin, calling it the “China coronavirus”
or the “Wuhan virus.”
“Let’s not forget where it came from,”
Ingraham said
She has also questioned the restriction of
movements of people who were not in “hot
spots” of infection. “That’s panic and that’s
hurting the market,” she said.
She urged Americans to heed warnings but
also not to accept the current situation as “the
new normal.”
“If we don’t learn the right long-term lessons,
well, we can just face a recurring cycle of misery
and shutdowns if something happens that is
bad in another country,” she said. She called
for fewer imports of products from China, and
tighter security and medical screening at the
nation’s borders.
Hannity had California Rep. Devin Nunes as
a guest. He attacked the “media freaks” who
criticized his comments on the Fox Business
Network where he suggested people should go
to restaurants — which are now closed to diners
in many parts of the country.
“Don’t just go to the grocery store and buy
$4,000 of food,” Nunes said. “Go to your
local pub.”
Nunes told Hannity that he was suggesting
people get take-out food at restaurants,
although that wasn’t apparent a day earlier.
