Coronavirus Truthers Preying on the Anxieties of the Moment: As the global coronavirus outbreak continues to spread fear and uncertainty throughout the country, many conservative Republican commentators have seen this as an opportunity to float wild conspiracy theories about what’s behind the outbreak, such as former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who considers all this coronavirus stuff a giant hoax, and is now urging citizens to take to the streets to prevent the coronavirus from taking away all our freedoms as Americans.

Yeah well, I suggest Sheriff Clarke should perhaps stick to commenting about things where he actually has some expertise - like donuts.

On the other hand, it is rather encouraging to see that the Republican party is finally diversifying a bit - and that they’ve now welcomed “the Cowboy” from the Village People into their ranks.
