Dems defend Wuhan wet markets in spite of facts

"How much for the bat balls?"

If President Trump says "left," the left says "right." If Trump says, "Don't eat bats, penguins and skunks," the left says, "You don't know what you're missing. Go for it."

Now an Illinois Democrat, who blames Trump for deaths from the Chinese Communist Wuhan Wet Market Lab Created Coronavirus, defended the Wuhan wet markets. on Monday at a tele-townhall, and totally disregarded the scientific consensus that these markets are petri dishes for deadly diseases.

"I think we need to be careful about laying all the blame on a particular cultural practice in a country that we don't live in," Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) said as he defended China to his constituents. "These viruses could hop from animals to humans, but you don't shut that down just by shutting down a particular cultural practice that we aren't familiar with."

And with that logic, you don't stop a father from honor killing his daughter for refusing to wear a hijab in public because that's a particular cultural practice that we aren't familiar with.

Casten is an apologist for China and an idiot for Capitol Hill. He has repeatedly accused President Trump of killing Americans by putting out misinformation about the pandemic because he somehow knows virology and the global situation better than Trump's coronavirus team. He has gone so far as to say that the daily briefings on the virus pandemic are "getting people killed," but has not elaborated as to how.

Casten's defense of China's wet markets contradicts a scientific consensus dating back to 2006 that such markets pose a significant public health risk, and it's obvious that he bases his information on the idea that anything that opposes Trump is correct.

While China has restricted the country's scientists from pinpointing the exact origins of the virus, existing evidence suggests that the virus started in a wet market in Wuhan, China, based on "patient zero."

His defense of wet markets also runs counter to the policies advocated by Dr. Anthony Fauci, a world renown doctor on the Trump administration's coronavirus task force.

"[They] should shut down those things right away," Fauci said on April 2, referring to the wet markets. "It just boggles my mind that when we have so many diseases that emanate out of that unusual human-animal interface that we don't just shut it down."

If anyone is putting out false information about the coronavirus, it's Casten and it isn't the first time. In March, Illinois' idiot congressman refused to assign any blame to China for its mishandling of the pandemic, stating that "viruses don't know borders," which actually supports the idea that we should protect ours to keep those with the virus from entering the US illegally.

That kind of logic is reminiscent of CNN's Jim Acosta standing by the border wall in Texas saying that he sees no reason for a wall because look, there's nobody trying to enter.

By disappearing whistleblowers and by refusing to announce the severity of the disease when it was first discovered in China, they made what could have been much more easily contained into a pandemic. Had China responded to the outbreak 3 weeks earlier, there would have been 95 percent fewer cases, according to one study.

The idiot mentioned the avian flu in his defense of wet markets, arguing that the real problem isn't with unregulated markets but the vector animals that transmit the disease to humans, but he neglected to tell his constituents that the 2006 avian flu, and the 2003 SARS outbreak, both originated in Asian wet markets, and restrictions on these markets were called for as early as 2010, according to the South China Morning Post.

Jeanne Ives, the Republican candidate now challenging Casten, criticized the China apologist for offering political cover to China by defending wet markets.

"While we don't know that COVID-19 originated in the wet markets, there is strong evidence that the spread was escalated there. Regardless, everything China does should be suspect and investigated now," an Ives campaign spokesperson said. "And Sean Casten has done nothing but praise and defend them."

The name Casten, in Mandarin, means "one who speaks through lower orifice." Okay, it really doesn't mean that but it should.

The left will always attack the Trump administration on every issue even when it's obviously an impotent attack.

Dem Rep. refuses to condemn anti-Semitism by Omar but calls Crenshaw a racist

It's unclear as to whether Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) is an anti-Semite but it is clear that he refuses to condemn anti-Semite Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) because for him, politics is more important than morals.

On October 5th, Casten told a voter that Omar's anti-Semitic comments about those who support Israel were "horribly inappropriate" but then proceeded to attack Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) for introducing an amendment to prevent illegal immigrants from voting. If Casten's kid was running for third grade class president and the class allowed the second or fourth grade to vote in that election, he would have a cow.

But the Democratic line must be towed and tow it Casten shall.

"The last amendment on the floor that day … came from Dan Crenshaw, the new Republican, the Navy SEAL with the eyepatch," he said, referring to the eye accessory Crenshaw wears to cover the empty orbit he got from an IED in 2012 while serving his country in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. It was his third deployment and he lost his right eye and needed surgery to save the vision in his left eye. It isn't just that he wears an eyepatch to look cool, as Casten, who never served in the military, would have you believe. [H/T Washington Free Beacon.]

"He came up with an amendment to say, ‘we're going to add a rider on this bill that says that illegals can't vote.' And I sat there and I said, ‘you know what? You're not allowed to vote if you're not a citizen.' … Why are you doing that? The reason you're doing that is because you are a racist. Because you are trying to appeal to people who will vote for you if you stand up and oppose brown people."

Being called a racist by a liberal is their default position when they have nothing in their bag of bullcrap. Crenshaw is a racist like Ilhan Omar is a Sabra.

"That's what we have to stand up to," he added. "This ain't about Ilhan Omar. Did she say some unfortunate things? You bet she did. But you know what? She apologized for it."

If he actually listened to the question, he would know that it was precisely about Omar. It wasn't at all about Dan Crenshaw but that's a strawman argument that the left consistently does when it cannot answer the questions directly.

Omar tweeted in February it was "all about the Benjamins" for pro-Israel politicians and accused the lobbying group AIPAC of paying them off. But when it comes to her "Squad" buddy, Rashida Tlaib, who obviously has a dual loyalty to the Palestinians, she says nothing.

Crenshaw's office told the Washington Free Beacon it appreciated the focus on Crenshaw's "record of protecting Americans' right to vote," but that insults coming from someone who once likened President Donald Trump to Osama bin Laden "won't be taken seriously."

"If Rep. Casten is so deeply offended that our laws prohibit non-citizens from voting in federal elections, then he should be honest with his constituents and let them know how little he values the power of their vote," spokeswoman Kerry Rom said.

Crenshaw's attempt to amend H.R. 1, the "For The People Act of 2019," was defeated, with the vote falling almost completely along party lines.

While running for Congress last year, Casten drew criticism after he bloviated that Trump and bin Laden "have a tremendous amount in common." Casten failed to explain just what the two of them have in common, but it's a sure thing that Trump isn't responsible for killing 3,000 Americans and bin Laden never did anything to bring about historical American job growth for the entire country while reducing unemployment in the black and Hispanic community.

And Casten will never be accused of killing Osama bin Laden.

Ill. Dem. dummy compares POTUS to Osama bin Laden

Mouth-breather and maybe
 the next Dem in Congress?

Wheaton, Ill. -- A hopeless Democratic congressional hopeful Sean Casten said that he believes President Trump has a "tremendous amount in common" with Osama bin Laden, the founder of the terrorist organization al Qaeda, the group responsible for the September 11, 2001 attacks that killed almost  3,000 people.

It's hard to believe that anyone takes the Democratic Party seriously, but then again, many of them watch CNN and MSNBC.

"In many ways--and I don't mean to sound overly, I don't know, hyperbolic on this--Trump and Osama bin Laden have a tremendous amount in common," the hyperbolic idiot said, which was recorded on audio from a February meeting with voters that the Washington Free Beacon was able to acquire.

Casten is a "clean energy entrepreneur" and a highly qualified schmuck, which puts him in good stead with the party that has gone so far to the left that it's causing high tides on California's coastline. He made the stupidly insensitive comparison after a voter asked about his plans to advance gun-control legislation if he was elected [God forbid].

His comment was part of an explanation that gun-control opponents, whom he apparently compared to al-Qaeda supporters, are what will keep gun-control legislation from advancing to the House floor.

So Casten thinks that Second Amendment supporters also support al-Qaeda? From what does he base that baseless opinion on? Does he just like hearing the sound of his voice when he says incredibly stupid and insulting things?

"They have both figured out how to use the bully pulpit to activate marginalized young men," Casten said without a shred of credibility. "Every demagogue has done this--find a group of angry people and give them something to be angry at."

But not including Antifa nor Black Lives Matter.

The terrorist comparison began when a woman told Casten that her child was afraid to go to school because of gun violence. You can hear the conversation they had here and you might agree that the woman has more insight than Casten when she mentions the culture being a big part of the problem. He sees it as a problem with gun access.

Then he makes the comparison with Trump and bin Laden saying that both have used the bully pulpit to activate marginalized young men.

Wrong. Religious extremism is what has activated young Muslim men, and it wasn't simply bin Laden--it was the imams and other Islamic clergy who have helped that process.

Whenever liberals make stupid comparisons like calling a particular Republican Hitler, or Nazi, or Osama, they minimize and trivialize the terrible things those people did.

And by the way, the number of those marginalized young men who support Trump are astonishingly small in number. The neo-Nazis at the last rally that was scheduled had about 20 protesters show up, while Antifa outnumbered them by hundreds.

Evidently, the attendees at the meeting didn't object to Casten's hyperbole, proving the notion that liberalism truly is a mental illness.

This is why Trump is president.

Last year, Tom Perriello, the failed Virginia senatorial candidate, was caught by the Free Beacon calling Trump's election "a political and constitutional September 11." He later said he regretted the comparison and apologized.

Casten is running against Republican Rep. Peter Roskam, who has held the seat for eleven years and won by a wide margin in 2016 in a district Hillary Clinton won that year.

The race is considered a toss-up by most election prognosticators.
