Fox News Interviews Man Who Went Through Coronavirus Quarantine, And He Can’t Stop Coughing: WATCH

This is not exactly encouraging.

Fox News on Friday morning interviewed Frank Wucinski, a Pennsylvania man who recently went through the quarantine process for coronavirus — but Wucinski couldn’t stop coughing.

“As time goes forward, hopefully doctors and scientists will get a better handle on the whole situation,” Wucinski said, with his young daughter sitting in his lap.

“Fortunately, from what I understand [cough], it is contagious, but the death rate is pretty low [cough, cough],” he said. “So, I understand the fear.”

“We can see you still have a cough,” Fox News host Ed Henry responded. “What do the doctors say about your own condition moving forward?”

Wucinski then coughed again before grabbing a water bottle out of his daughter’s hand, saying “I need some of that,” taking a sip, and giving it back to her.

“They say I’m fine,” Wucinski said. “I got tested twice, negative both times. The cough is probably just nerves.”

“Fair enough,” Henry’s co-host Sandra Smith said, laughing.

As it turns out, Wucinski was evacuated from the virus epicenter of Wuhan, China, and his father recently died from the disease. Earlier this month, his 3-year-old daughter Annabel was readmitted to the hospital to undergo coronavirus testing for a second time, Fox News previously reported.

Fox News just interviewed a man released from quarantine – he was directly affected when his father-in-law died from the virus in China . He began coughing, took a water bottle from his daughter’s mouth & drank from it, handed it back to her and she put it back in her mouth!?! t.co/TGmWgiQoVF

He’s visibly sick, coughing all over his kid, but is confident that he is clear because a test that is falsely negative 60 percent of the time, looking for a virus that plays hide and seek, told him he was fine.

Washington state bans gay and trans “panic” defense for homicide

Washington state bans gay and trans “panic” defense for homicide

The legislation is named teenager Nikki Kuhnhausen, who was killed last year (Photo: Facebook)

Lawmakers in Washington state have overwhelmingly passed legislation banning the so-called “gay panic” defense. This is when someone accused of a murder could claim the sexuality or gender identity of their victim was partly to blame for their actions.

Although commonly called “gay panic defense”, it has been used across the LGBTQ spectrum. Washington’s legislation is named the Nikki Kuhnhausen Act. It’s been named after a 17-year-old trans woman, who was killed last year.

The suspect in her killing has pled not guilty to charges of second-degree murder and malicious harassment, with his trial set for July. He told police that when Kuhnhausen told him she was trans, it made him “really uncomfortable” and “disturbed him”.

Washington state Senate approved the new legislation by 46-3. It was approved previously in the house by 90-5.

The legislation will now go to Gov. Jay Inslee for signing. This is expected to happen in the next few weeks.

Among those lobbying for the legislation in Washington was Kuhnhausen’s mother, Lisa Kuhnhausen-Woods, 52, who lives in the state.

Nikki Kuhnhausen was reported missing on June 10, 2019. Her body was eventually found in a forest in early December.

Her mom told the Thomson Reuters Foundation, “Nikki didn’t deserve this … it was a hate crime. I don’t feel there’s any justification in the panic defense.

“It’s not going to help Nikki’s case but it will help future families. There are other beautiful transgender children out there that need to be protected.”

Washington’s move comes after nine other US states implemented similar legislation: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Nevada, New Jersey New York and Rhode Island.

Donald Trump Jr. Says Dems Hope Coronavirus ‘Kills Millions’ to End President’s ‘Streak of Winning’ (WATCH)

Donald Trump Jr. Says Dems Hope Coronavirus ‘Kills Millions’ to End President’s ‘Streak of Winning’ (WATCH)

Shortly after midnight Friday, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to accuse Democrats of blaming him for the coronavirus.

So, the Coronavirus, which started in China and spread to various countries throughout the world, but very slowly in the U.S. because President Trump closed our border, and ended flights, VERY EARLY, is now being blamed, by the Do Nothing Democrats, to be the fault of “Trump”.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 28, 2020

Hours later, appearing on Fox and Friends, Donald Trump Jr. went a step further.

Don. Jr was just on Fox & Friends accusing Democrats of hoping coronavirus “comes here and kills millions of people so that they can end Donald Trump’s streak of winning.”

Absolutely insane. pic.twitter.com/Fq5eAUIsnq

“For them [Democrats] to try to take a pandemic, and hope it comes here and kills millions of people so they can end Donald Trump’s streak of winning is a new level of sickness,” Trump Jr. said.

Meanwhile, Trump’s chief of staff claimed the media has been ignoring coronavirus until now because they were preoccupied with the impeachment “hoax.”

“The reason you’re seeing so much attention to it today is, they think this is going to be what brings down the president,” Mick Mulvaney said Friday morning at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

Ugandan LGBTQ leaders cry for support after media attacks on affirming church

Ugandan LGBTQ leaders cry for support after media attacks on affirming church

Red Pepper

GLAAD joined up with The Fellowship for Affirming Ministries (TFAM) to call attention to continued violence against LGBTQ people in Uganda, and call on the Trump administration to live up to its loud promises to protect LGBTQ people and people of faith.

On February 21, TFAM Uganda became a target of public persecution by a premeditated media campaign seeking to erase the pro-LGBTQI ministry. Two Ugandan newspapers, Trumpet News and the Red Pepper published photos and video falsely claiming that the ministry was officiating the wedding of a same-sex couple. Bishop Joseph Tolton, TFAM’s Global International Minister, stated the young couple was only testifying their relationship before the ministry. Following the publication of the articles, the couple fled to Nairobi, Kenya out of safety.

Many LGBTQ spaces and gatherings in Uganda have been swiftly shut down by authorities, and TFAM was one of few spaces left that offered the LGBTQ community a safe space to worship and express themselves. The ministry has not been able to meet over the past week, due to safety concerns. “The church had become a place of healing, one of the few spaces where the LGBTQ community can come together and worship freely,” said Bishop Tolton.

The past year saw a number of documented murders, arrests, and violent attacks against LGBTQ Ugandans. Local politicians have been reintroducing the “Kill the Gays” Bill. The bill was signed into law in 2014 before being struck down by Uganda’s Constitutional Court. Identifying as LGBTQ resulted in life in prison, and those who were associated with a LGBTQ person(s) received harsh prison sentences. Although one of the Trump Administration’s foreign policy initiatives was to target countries criminalizing LGBTQI peoples, Uganda’s situation has received silence from The State Department. Sexual Minorities Uganda’s Executive Director, Frank Mugisha, stated, “It is not a secret that US involvement has greatly reduced ever since the Obama administration. Now, we are seeing partnerships from our government and US politicians with extreme conservative views”.

Discrimination against LGBTQI peoples does not occur within a vacuum. Bishop Tolton stated, “The LGBTQI Issue must be understood within the broader concerns of the undermining of human rights, particularly in Uganda. The specter and shadow of violence looms in a very real way because in 2019, we had several murders within the community”. Following the incident, TFAM launched the Our Freedom is Your Freedom campaign. The campaign seeks to connect progressive activists in the US and elsewhere to uphold democratic values and norms that are globally under threat. Pastor Simon Mpinga summed it up, “The freedom that the Americans are fighting for is connected directly to our freedom [in Uganda].”
