At a campaign event Thursday, former Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden mislead the public about how many Americans had died from the coronavirus, claiming “over 120 million dead from COVID.” In reality, there have been over 120 thousand Americans killed by the virus, which meant Biden’s claim was 1,000 times larger. That gross miscalculation went completely unreported by ABC, CBS, and NBC’s evening newscasts, which all boasted about Biden calling Trump a “child.”
On top of all that, they completely ignored findings from The Washington Free Beacon that discovered the Biden Cancer Initiative spent 65 percent of its funding on staff and executive salaries, instead of fighting cancer.
CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell began their segment by whining about President Trump suggesting the number of COVID cases was rising due to more testing. “But experts say that claim is misleading,” she huffed, oblivious to the irony that Biden was misleading people too. “And on the campaign trail, Joe Biden said the President has failed the American people and is acting like a child,” she touted.
During the CBS report, White House correspondent Paula Reid echoed O’Donnell’s cheering. “The former Vice President, campaigning in Pennsylvania, slammed the President for being more concerned about himself than the average American,” she said.
For NBC Nightly News, White House correspondent Geoff Bennett teed up a soundbite of Biden by saying: “Joe Biden tonight taking aim at President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis.” He later noted that, “The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee campaigning in Pennsylvania, boosted by new polling from The New York Times, showing him now leading in six battleground states that were key to President Trump’s 2016 victory…”
ABC’s congressional correspondent, Mary Bruce fawned for Biden’s “harshest language yet” against Trump:
BRUCE: The former Vice President ripped into Trump for complaining that more testing reveals a higher infection rate.
TRUMP: Here’s what I say. Testing is a double-edged sword.
BIDEN: He thinks that finding out that more Americans are sick will make him look bad. That’s what he’s worried about. He’s worried about looking bad.
BRUCE: Biden using his harshest language yet.
BIDEN: He’s like a child. He can’t believe this has happened to him. All his whining and self-pity. Well, this pandemic didn’t happen to him. It happened to all of us. And his job isn’t to whine about it, his job is to do something about it. To lead.
As for what the networks refused to cover, The Free Beacon’s Joe Schoffstall reported: “Nearly two-thirds of the money the Biden Cancer Initiative spent since its founding in 2017 went toward staff compensation and six-figure salaries for top executives. The group spent far less on efforts to eradicate cancer.”
What did Biden do for 8 years? He now figures out how to solve all the issues, not during his time in congress not as VP, as a near drooling moron that cant complete a thought.
Who will be in charge if he is elected what will be the agenda? https://www.weforum.org/ Progressive wishlists.
No where near 120K died from kung flu maybe only with Kung flu. But they also say 10 times have caught it and had no adverse effects.
Biden simply misspoke. Anybody who doesn’t get that would have to be a complete idiot.
120,000 US COVID-19 deaths is most likely lower than the actual number. If someone dies without having sought medical care, their death may as likely as not be attributed to some other cause.
The count is about to begin rising a lot more quickly. More than half of all states are experiencing a rise in cases. Several—notably Texas and Florida—are seeing dramatic rises. Pretending this isn’t so is only going to make it worse.
Is it too difficult to wear a mask in public settings? It’s a very simple thing that has been proven to significantly reduce transmission. Given the danger to the nation, it seems unpatriotic not to do so.
@Greg: We are waiting for him to form a full senternce without lying or losing his train of thought.
Its the young they will recover, so are your technocrats with their inaccurate computer models lying now or when they said wearing a mask was dangerous and gave false security?
Was WHO lying when they said A symptomatic people infecting others was rare?
How accurate are the tests, 100%
NY talking about quarantine for people from Florida, why didnt he quarantine the carriers from nursing homes?
biden did not misspeak. biden is in an advanced stage of cognitive decline. He is unable to function in a manner as a normal human being. biden should leave his basement and check into assisted living or perhaps hospice…
Biden misspeaks constantly.
But the fact that he’s being put up there as the alleged Dem candidate for president is a far worse crime.
And the fact that he’s only got one main charity but that it eats up over 25% of all donations just for salaries of it’s administrators and founders is the stuff of nightmares for a campaign.
When will the Dem’s powers behind this frontman come clean?
Who will really be running this country should the Dem get elected?
And 2 VP guesses:
*Susan Rice who can and will lie for power.
*That black woman who is a top executive of the DNC who probably knows where the real power lies and likes it.
@Greg: Remember Trump saying “airport” instead of “seaport”? Remember how you all just blew it off as a “misspoke”? Did you actually believe Trump thought there were airports during the Revolutionary War? Yeah, you were all just “forgive and forget, people make mistakes sometimes”.
And that was just ONE instance. Even when Trump doesn’t make a mistake, you on the left INVENT one (like injecting Lysol).
The problem with your argument is Biden could very well have meant 120,000,000. Yeah, he’s that stupid.
Since practically anyone that dies is classified as a COVID death, the number and rate is probably much, much lower. Since it is a younger age group that are showing infection (you know… that age group that was out in huge, crowded masses all over the country screaming, spitting, looting and burning) the death rate will continue to go down. Hopefully, the use of HCQ has not been cut off completely. But the is absolutely no point in shutting down the economy again; I am SURE the protests are not over. Democrats LOVE killing the economy.
Also killing the stock markets is the prospect of Biden being President. That should tell you all you need to know. He is a predicted disaster.
Cuomo points fingers at the Trump Admin. But here are the FACTS regarding CDC guidance:
The Governor’s decision to MANDATE that nursing homes accept COVID-19 patients completely disregards the case-by-case approach recommended by CDC.
CDC guidance was clear……
Decisions about discharging COVID-19 patients from hospitals should be based on the ability of the accepting facility to meet the recommended infection control practices.
This includes the ability to place residents in a designated COVID-19 care unit equipped with the resources and PPE to safely prevent the spread of infections.
If nursing homes are unable to follow the CDC’s guidance, they were supposed to wait until patients could not transmit the virus before they could accept those patients, according to the CDC.
Cuomo’s MANDATE required acceptance regardless of a nursing homes capacity to safely accept COVID-19 positive cases.
