It began a week or so before, with the purchase of a huge ad campaign funded by left-leaning activist groups and aimed at convincing Americans that President Donald Trump had botched the national coronavirus response.
The campaign is helmed by PACRONYM, a group the Capital Research Center discovered was linked to the $600 million network of leftist groups run by Arabella Advisors, which is a for-profit consultancy that helped direct money to ACRONYM, a sister group to PACRONYM. The PACRONYM ad campaign seeks, as one observer put it, to funnel "Millions of dollars toward advertisements in key swing states, with the intent of politicizing the Wuhan coronavirus crisis and blaming the pandemic on President Donald Trump."
On the Thursday before the failed Senate vote, a group called Protect Our Care announced it was creating a "Coronavirus war room," run by former aides to Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton, to attack the Trump administration's response.
Then there's a mysterious new kid on the block: Fellow Americans, which appears to have only just entered the fray by posting an ad that repeats the debunked claim that Trump called the coronavirus a "Hoax".
Fellow Americans is also run by a Hillary Clinton alum, Hailey Arends, but passes itself off as a group for disaffected Republicans who plan to vote against Trump in November - hence its anti-Trump ads on social media.
As cynical as it sounds, the politicization of the coronavirus response began a week before the Senate stimulus gridlock, even as people were entering ICU units across the country, and even as hospitals and health-care professionals were facing shortages of supplies.
The politicization effort had a clear vision of its own, unrelated to anyone's health: stopping Donald Trump from winning a second term and electing Democrats to the House.
