Video of the Day: Lying MSNBC hack Chris Hayes falsely claims conservatives, Trump set to kill a million seniors

As we and others have reported, lying propagandists in the lying liberal media have been and continue to lie to the American public about, well, pretty much everything.  It seems that for most of them, telling the truth is a non-starter, because if they were to do that, they would have to admit that President Trump is doing a good job.  On Monday, for example, MSNBC propagandist Chris Hayes spread yet another lie — that conservatives and Trump are set to kill a million senior citizens.

“And now, after about a week of that economic dislocation, as we continue to climb up the exponential curve of cases and deaths, the President is now listening to voices on the right that say, ‘Really, what’s a million seniors when you’re thinking about the whole economy?’ That’s slightly caricatured, but only slightly because there’s a growing chorus of voices on the right saying the benefit of keeping people alive is not worth the cost to the economy,” he said.

Of course, no one on the right is saying that at all, but again, truth doesn’t matter at MSNBC, the official network of insane liberal hate and lying left-wing propaganda.

In fact, if anyone is hurting average Americans right now, it’s the Democrats, led by Schumer and Pelosi, who are telling Americans to drop dead.  It’s them who are holding Americans hostage with their radical agenda.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Here’s a partial transcript, as posted by Newsbusters’ Scott Whitlock:

CHRIS HAYES: And now, after about a week of that economic dislocation, as we continue to climb up the exponential curve of cases and deaths, the President is now listening to voices on the right that say, “Really, what’s a million seniors when you’re thinking about the whole economy?” That’s slightly caricatured, but only slightly because there’s a growing chorus of voices on the right saying the benefit of keeping people alive is not worth the cost to the economy.

STEVE HILTON [on FNC’s The Next Revolution, 03/22/20]: Our ruling class and their TV mouth pieces whipping up fear over this virus. They can afford an indefinite shutdown. Working Americans can’t. They’ll be crushed by it. You know that famous phrase? “The cure is worse than the disease?” That is exactly the territory we are hurtling towards.

CHRIS HAYES: There was a viral medium post making basically that argument and now right wing law professor Richard Epstein, who is circulating the version, that the cost is not worth the benefit. I should note: This has been a central conservative, right wing idea forever, it’s the same reason there are arguments for why we don’t need clean air regulations, even if tens of thousands of people die every year of lung disease from additional pollution. It’s just now it’s being applied in this extreme case in the midst of a global pandemic and a growing exponential curve.

(….)

HAYES: I think there’s two cases here. One there’s a sort of question about the value of human life and who we care for and care about and what societal decisions we make and how we calculate the tradeoffs.

Whitlock also reminds us that Hayes just happens to be a staunch supporter of abortion.  Color us not surprised.
