1. At the same time Burr warned wealthy GOP donors about the virus, Trump and right-wing media downplayed the pandemic and convinced millions of Americans that it was a hoax, endangering their lives. https://t.co/xtiG5UplqH

2. Appalling story by @timkmak: three weeks ago, a key senator told paying insiders the truth about coronavirus. In public, the senator gave no similar warning. The president downplayed the threat, and others stuck to Fox propaganda. @MorningEdition @NPR

3. Feb 27: Trump claimed the coronavirus was “going to disappear.”

   Also Feb 27: GOP Senator Richard Burr warned wealthy constituents in a private meeting of the severity of the crisis & told them to stay home.

   To the general public, he made no such warnings & gave no such advice. https://t.co/qBjCMQZYwG

5. 1/ Trump wasn't "urging" anything in Feb, other than "this will go away."

   2/ Burr is the INTELLIGENCE CHAIR. He knew damn well what was going on.

   3/ Rather than warning Americans about COVID, Burr quietly sold stock in things he knew would tank, like hotels/resorts.#traitor https://t.co/h0DZiqxt3p
