3 Martini Lunch

Jim Geraghty is Joined by Radio America's Rich McFadden for today's martinis. The Good: As consensus among public health authorities has declined, PolitiFact issues a correction to their "PANTS ON FIRE" rating regarding the claim that the "the coronavirus was derived from a lab." The Bad: Some straight-up Jew-targeting violence on the streets of LA and NYC. As Noam Blum observes, once you're attacking people and throwing firecrackers at people, you're not really a "protester" anymore. The Crazy: CNN issues a statement saying that Chris Cuomo advising his brother Andrew on conference calls, strategizing how to respond to sexual harassment allegations was "inappropriate."
