AOC just repeated the lie that President Trump called coronavirus a "hoax."

This is not true, and has been debunked by numerous fact checking sources.

I thought about it, because the president did not call the virus a hoax.

But i didn’t because he *did* call a hoax the concerns of those saying that the response from the president was insufficient and that he was downplaying the gravity of the crisis. And that too was a lie. https://t.co/MdPeulQpZ1

In other words, he knows she lied, but he’s not calling her out because he thinks Trump lied or the government isn’t responding fast enough. Completely broken.
