Paul Mirengoff at Power Line Blog posted an article that included a timeline of Joe Biden’s statements about the coronavirus (put together by Karl Rove). The timeline pretty much contradicts everything he claims he would have done and will do if elected.
Here is the timeline:
1) Jan. 31: In response to Trump’s travel ban, Biden says “this is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia – hysterical xenophobia.”
2) Early February: Biden says the coronavirus is less lethal than the SARS virus and “is probably not a serious epidemic.”
3) Mid February: Biden says “we don”t have a Covid epidemic, we have a fear epidemic.”
4) Late February: Biden says the virus is “like the flu” and will dissipate with warmer weather moving to the southern hemisphere. Masks will not help, he adds.
5) Early March: Biden holds an indoor rally in Wisconsin and criticizes the European travel ban as ineffective and “counterproductive.”
6) Mid March: Regarding Trump’s January 31st decision to close travel to China, Biden says “stop the xenophobic fear mongering.”
Regardless of how you feel about President Trump, his actions saved lives. Joe Biden would not have taken those actions. Joe Biden was part of an administration that for eight years did very little to help the working people of America, what makes anyone think that will change if he is given another chance?
