Earlier this month on MSNBC Brian Williams and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay argued that Bloomberg could have gifted every American $1 million instead of wasting money on his presidential campaign.

This actually ran on live TV.

They even flashed this stupid tweet by Mekita Rivas on the screen.

Of course, this was ridiculous. If there were 350 people in America it would be true. But there are 350 million.
It’s called math.

Fast forward to this week…
Unhinged Trump-hating columnist Mara Gay selectively edited President Trump’s statement to US governors to make it sound like “they were on their own.”

The Washington Examiner reported:

Conservatives blasted New York Times editor Mara Gay after she tweeted a truncated version of President Trump’s remarks to governors on the coronavirus pandemic.

While the president was discussing state efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic with governors on Monday, he suggested they seek certain medical equipment from wherever source it is available rather than solely relying on the federal government.

“Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves. We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself,” he said in a conference call at the White House. “We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.”

Mara Gay, a member of the newspaper’s editorial board, shared the story on social media along with just the first half of Trump’s quote, failing to provide important context to the conversation.

“Trump told governors this morning they are on their own: ‘Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves,’ Mr. Trump told the governors during the conference call, a recording of which was shared with The New York Times,” she tweeted.

It seems @MaraGay's reading comprehension is no better than her arithmetic.

Here's the full quote: “…the equipment—try getting it yourselves. We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.” https://t.co/D0cyjE2VhN

This is an incomplete quote, Mara. Don't be as disingenuous as you are as bad at math.

Here's the second half: “We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.” https://t.co/ssPbyCrWna
