I guess Joe Biden makes Wuhan coronavirus his number one background problem and the only one of the crusade. I don’t blame him. What else do you have?
Until the virus attacked, America fine. Since then, in addition to the pandemic, we have had riots and an increase in homicides, but Biden cannot plausibly blame President Trump. In fact, it turns out that an unwritten rule prevents him from mentioning riots and crimes in cities (almost all run by Democrats).
Trump’s reaction to Wuhan coronavirus has been mixed, in my opinion. This general given the novelty of the virus and how little we knew (and still know) about it.
Joe Biden’s reaction to the virus gives Trump a masterful breath. Biden made a series of statements in the early months of the year in which he denied the severity of the virus and criticized President Trump for taking steps to prevent its spread.
This was also to be expected. Hack as it is, Biden has been on almost every and every national security factor for as long as everyone remembers. He even pleaded with Barack Obama not to adopt the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Karl Rove has compiled a list of Biden coronavirus failures. He introduced him to one of The Fox News systems last night.
Here’s Rove’s list:
2) Early February: Biden says coronavirus is less fatal than the SARS virus and “is not a serious epidemic.”
3) Mid-February: Biden says that “we don’t have a Covid epidemic, we have an epidemic of fear.”
4) End of February: Biden says the virus is “like the flu” and will be consumed with a warmer climate moving into the southern hemisphere. The mask probably wouldn’t help, he adds.
5) In early March: Biden organizes an indoor demonstration in Wisconsin and criticizes the ban in Europe as useless and “counterproductive.”
Rove also said that as vice president, Biden, along with President Obama, presided over the depletion of the national strategic inventory of PPE devices that physical health professionals want in the event of an outbreak. Obama-Biden’s management didn’t repair it. As a result, the device most desired by physical health professionals was no longer available when the virus arrived in the United States.
Finally, Rove said that in a television interview with Joy Reid two weeks ago, Biden indexed six elements of his plan to deal with the pandemic. According to Rove, the six elements of his plan are things Trump has already done.
Rove didn’t have time to check those six things last night. However, I heard him do this recitation a few days ago. I will review to locate you and upload it to this post, as well as the links that support the rest of Rove’s statements.
UPDATE: These are Rove’s top points on how Trump has already done the things Biden says he wants to do in reaction to the pandemic.
