Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is slamming President Donald Trump for his recent claims about the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday evening, Waters took to Twitter with scathing remarks about Trump’s false claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are “harmless.”
“Everyone knows Trump is a liar. Ignore his advice! We’ll get him out in Nov!” she also wrote.
Like many other Americans, the Democratic state representative has seen the impact of coronavirus, firsthand. Back in April, Waters dedicated the House Oversight Committee’s hearing to her sister.
“I am going to take a moment to dedicate this legislation to my dear sister who is dying in a hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, right now infected by the Coronavirus,” Waters said.
Three weeks after that hearing, Waters’ sister, Velma Moody, 86, died of coronavirus in St. Louis, Mo.
Waters’ latest tweet comes after multiple tweets with inaccurate claims from the president. In addition to claiming the virus is “99% harmless,” Trump has also tweeted about the United States’ morbidity rate, testing capacity while also claiming that the virus would “disappear.”
On Tuesday evening, Trump tweeted, “Death Rate from Coronavirus is down tenfold!”
