A sketchy political group that has come under fire for its deceptive fundraising practices in the past is spreading coronavirus misinformation in an effort to lure in potential donors.
Support American Leaders PAC, a pro-Trump group that has been explicitly disavowed by President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, has placed a host of robocalls this month asking people to sign a petition demanding that Congress support Trump’s efforts to shut down travel to the United States from China.
There’s just one issue with that call to action: Flights from China have already been effectively shut down for nearly two months.
