Paris Dennard Blasts Joe Biden: Democrats ‘Have Put a Bigot at the Top of the Ticket

Dennard added that Trump is asking Americans to look at his record and “Ask, ‘what have I done for you lately?’ Ask, ‘What have I done for you for the past 2 1/2 years?’ Ask, ‘What am I going to do for you in the future?’

“When you ask the same questions to Joe Biden, the answer is, ‘Nothing but harm, destroy, and pretty insulting,’ because I think Joe Biden is an old bigot who doesn’t really care about advancing anything except for his career,'” he said.

Dennard added that Biden’s actions amount to “pandering, and he should stay in his basement.”

He said Biden has a 44-year history “of being a bigot. His record of saying overtly racist, offensive things, insulting things to black people, about black people, about Indian-Americans, is out in the open.”

Dennard said whoever Biden picks as his running mate, she is going to have to “take on his baggage.”

Boyle asked if Black Lives Matter and the protests and other race-based actions are intended to keep black voters supporting the Democrat Party

One-hundred percent,” Dennard responded. They’re nervous because President Trump in 3.5 years has done more for the black community than any other president in history in that first term,” he said

He added that the Democrats have “put a bigot at the top of the ticket.”

Former NYT Reporter Alex Berenson: ‘There Is Marginal Evidence that Lockdowns Work

Former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson told Breitbart News’s Washington editor Matt Boyle on Saturday the mainstream media has pushed false narratives about the coronavirus pandemic and COVID-19, and in his view, “there is marginal evidence that lockdowns work.”

Once you realize that the average of death worldwide for this is somewhere between 80 and 82, and that more people over 100 have died than people under 30, and that children are more likely to die from any number of things other than coronavirus, and I mean rare things, then you start to question what it is we have done to our society. And from the very beginning the media has done two things,” Berenson, the author of Unreported Truths

“The first one is they say everyone is at risk. OK, theoretically everyone is at risk. So that statement is not untrue. But everyone is at risk from getting hit from lightning too when they’re outside. It doesn’t mean we should run around and never go outside because we are at risk of getting hit by lightning,” Berenson noted.

—“The fact that one 22-year-old died somewhere from this, or a handful of 22-year-olds, does not mean that 22-year olds and 88-year-olds are at the same risk. The risk to the 88 year old, and I’m not exaggerating, is probably 10,000 times or more of the risk to the 22 year old, and the media has never been honest about that,” Berenson added.

—“The second thing they mislead people about is about cases,” Berenson continued, adding:

—They say the number of cases of young people is more than than the number of cases of old people.

—They are defining a case as any positive test result. So theoretically if I went to the doctor for a different coronavirus, like one that causes the common cold, and a came back with a positive test result for that coronavirus, they’ld call that a case of coronavirus.

—To me, that’s technically correct to call that a case, but it’s very misleading to people. When people hear case, they think that person wound up in the hospital, and it’s not true.

—“Even though everybody gets the coronavirus, not everyone gets sick the same way and they don’t tell the truth about that,” Berenson said of the mainstream media’s reporting on COVID-19 and the pandemic.

—Boyle asked Berenson if the media has approached the coronavirus pandemic with objectivity about the claims made by state and national officials to justify the shutdowns.

—“The media is supposed to approach when the government does sweeping types of things . . .with a healthy dose of skepticism. We’re supposed to ask tough questions. . . There hasn’t been a skepticism from the media,” Boyle said.

It’s much worse than that. The media has led the way in this. Do you think Donald Trump wanted to this back in March? He totally got stampeded into this,” Berenson responded

The media stampeded this,” he continued

—“They took the worst case scenarios. They promoted them without question. And what’s worse is, By about March 30, March 31,really that early, it was clear that things were not following the worst epidemiological projections. They did nothing but mislead about that,” Berenson said, adding:

—This new thing is with the cases in the Sunbelt States. There are a lot of factors that may be driving that some of which are real and problematic and some of which might be related to more testing. We need to pay attention.

—Why do you think you’re not hearing about deaths any more? Why do you think all your hearing about is “case counts” in Texas and Arizona?

—Because deaths have been going down in the United States for more than a month now.

—The United States has followed the same pattern as everywhere else, except we’re a big country, and this thing has rolled a little bit through regions.

—“There’s no evidence this thing lasts forever or is going to decimate the population. The reverse is true. The evidence is much stronger now…that in terms of case fatality and infection ratio… that this is much much closer to the flu than we originally thought,” Berenson added.

—Boyle then focused on what has been learned since the pandemic began.

—“One of the things I asked a lot of politicians on this. . . what do you know now that you didn’t know then meaning back in March at the beginning of this whole thing? What do you know now that you didn’t know then?” Boyle asked.

—“We know the routes of transmission much better,” Berenson responded.

—“We know that this is not transmitted outside. It doesn’t really seem to be transmitted much by a fomite route, which is touching. It’s more aerosol close contact transmission. Which means, if we’re thinking about this reasonably, that we should not worry about people being outside,” he added.

Rest of the article, book reviews in “Unreported Truths about Covid 19”, Berenson is a Patriot

Boyle closed the interview by focusing on the attacks made on Berenson by the mainstream media.

“Because you’re raising these very reasonable questions, making these points that question the herd mentality . . . you’ve received a lot of hate…. They really don’t like you. The establishment’s been coming after you like crazy. . . .Do you care?” Boyle asked.

“It doesn’t get to me at all, I don’t care,” Berenson responded.

“I know that I’m going to make the best case that I can. I know if I make a mistake on something I’m going to announce it publicly correct it as quickly as I can. And now that Amazon is not censoring me and I can sell Unreported Truths, I know there’s an audience, because that book will have sold more than 100,000 copies in two weeks They can’t shut me up, They can’t shut me down, they can’t cancel me,” he added.

“I know there are people who want the truth, and I’m going to do my best to give it to them,” Berenson concluded.

Ex-NYT reporter Alex Berenson says New York-based, anti-Trump media are part of coronavirus problem

This interview occurred on April 22

Berenson told Hume on an episode of the "Fox News Rundown Podcast," that the media is partially responsible for people not listening to studies he says indicate measures taken to combat the spread of coronavirus have been overblown.

“You really have to ask yourself, is this nearly as dangerous as we were told it was? Not that. Again, not that it isn't real. Not that it can't hurt people, especially, you know, elderly people and people with co-morbidities,” Berenson said, after citing various studies. “But is it dangerous in a way that justifies what we have done to our society?”

Hume then asked why the former Times reporter – who in his time with the paper from 1999 to 2010 primarily covered the pharmaceutical industry – seems like the “lonely” voice making that case.

“I mean, I sort of have two thoughts on that. One is that obviously the media is very, very New York-centric. And what happened in New York is exceptional… New York doesn't look like anywhere else in the United States,” Berenson said.

“You know, both in terms of its population density, its reliance on mass transit, and clearly what happened in the city in late March… was bad. You know, a lot of people did die. We don't quite know how many yet. But, a lot of people died and that scared a lot of people. And then and in New York, people are locked up in their apartments,” Berenson continued. “But the other reason is, and unfortunately, I think this has become a bigger part of it in the last couple of weeks is a lot of people hate Donald Trump.”

Berenson repeated, “A lot of people in the media hate Donald Trump,” and said he is a registered independent himself

“It is clear that many people in the media who don't like Donald Trump on some level blame him for everything that's happened,” Berenson said.

He said the media’s tendency to blame the president “shaded almost into ‘we're not going to recognize that maybe this isn't as terrible as we thought it was a month ago.’”

Berenson then evoked his former employer, the paper that President Trump often mocks as the “failing” New York Times.

“The New York Times, where I worked for 10 years and I loved working, could have written everything they wrote about New York City and how terrible things were in New York and still presented a much more balanced picture of what was going on in the rest, the United States. And they didn't do it. And I don't know why,” Berenson said

He said “it's very disturbing” to witness “media group think” related to the coronavirus pandemic and wants to reach as many people as possible

“All I want is for the right policy measures to be undertaken. And if I can kind of get information to people who are getting a totally, you know, or largely incorrect picture from places like the Times and CNN, and I can do that with data then then, then I'll do it,” Berenson added.
