Yahoo reporter apologizes to Trump after making false COVID test claim in Oval Office meeting

FOX: A Yahoo reporter apologized to President Trump on Tuesday after falsely claiming South Korea has done five times more coronavirus tests than the Unites States per capita during an Oval Office meeting with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Yahoo reporter Hunter Walker asked Trump about America’s test rates compared to South Korea and was scolded by the president after he botched the data his question was based on.

“Overall, South Korea has done five times more tests than the U.S. per capita,” Walker said. “Why is that?”

Trump told Walker that he didn’t believe his statistic was true but the reporter was adamant that his numbers were accurate.

“That is true,” Walker argued.

Dr. Deborah Birx quickly confirmed that his numbers were off. As of April 28, the United States has tested 16,959 people for every one million residents, compared to 11,869 tests per one million people in South Korea, according to the COVID Tracking Project and CDC.

“Are you going to apologize Yahoo? That’s why you’re ‘Yahoo’ and nobody knows who the hell you are,” Trump said. “Nobody knows who you are, including me.” MORE

  1. Progs are incapable of sincerity, a sincere apology is absolutely out of the question. In progdom every standard of decency is turned on its head. They live in a parallel universe .

    It just is what it is. There is nothing anyone can do about it. Just accept it and treat an apology from any leftist for what it is. An excuse. It means absolutely nothing.
