MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Under Fire for Claiming Initial COVID Death Toll Projections Were Intentionally Inflated to Provide Trump a “Victory Lap”

Sean Hannity often refers to MSNBC as “conspiracy channel media.”

Today, MSNBC’s very own Chris Hayes appears to be trying to prove that Hannity is correct.

Hayes took to Twitter to claim that the initial death toll projections could have been intentionally inflated to give Trump the appearance of a “victory lap” when “only” tens of thousands died.

Indeed, the initial projections showed that worst case scenarios could result in over 2 million Americans dying from COVID-19.

Now, it appears the actual number may potentially be in the tens of thousands.

Mitigation efforts such as social distancing coupled with better understanding of the novel coronavirus are the reasons for the lower projections.

But that didn’t stop one of MSNBC’s top stars from propogating a dark conspiracy about President Trump and his administration.
