On This Day In 2020
It’s clarifying when somebody “leaps” forward to firmly call out Trump’s nonsense. Joe Biden finally did it.
Regarding Trump’s Covid complaints discussed in yesterday’s OTDI: “Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said President Donald Trump’s ‘bizarre’ and ‘dangerous’ remarks on the coronavirus are harming the U.S.’s reputation.
‘Some of the stuff he says is so bizarre that you can laugh at it,’ Biden said to reporters outside a Greensville, S.C., event ahead of the state’s primary election. ‘It just so diminishes the faith that people around the world have in the United States.’”
Biden continued, OTDI 2020: “Look, this is a serious, serious, serious problem. It’s able to be solved, but it requires us to be absolutely levelheaded and let the scientists have the lead in all of this.”
