KPIX-CHANNEL 5 (SAN FRANCISCO) -- “This is sort of an old way of dividing people against one another and scaring people,” said Joe Tuman, a political analyst and professor at San Francisco State University.

He said it was a mistake that Trump and his camp stayed away from the coronavirus topic.

“Even if you manage to convince voters that crime is a real problem, crime is not killing 180,000 people in five or six months,” said Tuman.
