Pelosi holds moment of silence for 200,000 who died of coronavirus

[mystery-ak]

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) visited a memorial on the National Mall and led a moment of silence on the House floor commemorating the 200,000 Americans who have died of COVID-19.

The death toll in the United States surpassed the 200,000 mark on Tuesday, according to data provided by Johns Hopkins University. The country has faced 6.8 million cases over the course of the past six months.

“The chair asks all members in the chamber as well as members and staff throughout the Capitol to rise for a moment of silence in remembrance of those more than 200,000 Americans who have passed away from the COVID-19 virus,” Pelosi said on the House floor.

Pelosi also spoke near a memorial on the National Mall commemorating the 200,000 dead Americans.

What a whack-a-doo.  Gee ... I'm wondering if she mentioned that those 200,000 lives were lost because the COVID virus was inflicted upon our great country due to the "ties" that Sloe Joe has with China and the DEMS need him to win to bury the ugly truth about the DEM party?

Did she do that on 9/11?

Doutbful ... but she did take a kneel for BLM.  Let's give the whack a doo credit where due.

It has already been reported, by no less than the New York Times, that the number of deaths due to COVID has been overstated by as much as a factor of 20.  Each of the 200,000 deaths in question here is a profound human loss, but about 95% of them are people who died *with* COVID, not people who died *of* COVID.

The (pro-abortion) Guttmacher Institute reports that some 860,000 abortions were performed in the United States during 2017.  Assuming that incidence is constant into 2020, over 400,000 babies have been murdered during the same time period in which 200,000 people have died with COVID, and there is exactly one cause for each of those babies' deaths - no confusion about co-morbidities or judgments made on a cause of death.

How about a moment of silence for those babies, and the tens of millions that preceded them?  And what better time for that moment of silence than while one of the staunchest defenders of abortion is being eulogized?

And its a twofer, since nearly half of the babies aborted are black. Black Lives Matter.
