Biden Tells Crowd At End Of February "It's Not A Time To Panic About Coronavirus"

Nope, he downplayed a virus for political purposes.

And it's on tape.

a 6 second clip, out of context...

Communists are such reeking hypocrites.
 
Their entire election strategy is to insist 200k people aren’t dead with more coming, 10’s of millions aren’t out of work with more coming, and that actually Trump should win a Nobel Prize because rioters are burning down courthouses.

****ing. INSANE.

I particuarly like the whole thing of all these ****nuts declaring themseles doctors and pathologists and then determining that they didn't ACTUALLY die from Covid because they had a pre-existing condition. Here they are again hating people with pre-existing conditions.

He didn't die of cancer because he had syphillis!
 
Biden said it when we knew nothing and had almost no cases.

Trump said it after thousands were infected, dead, and it was spreading like crazy with more information available than any other person on Earth and has said it non stop since March..............hmmmm which is worse?
 
No we don’t. We just let him speak completely and hang himself.

If only he was shot on Fifth Avenue . . .

It is extremely obvious only Donald Trump supporters do this because Democrats support facts over fiction.

While there are counter examples in some small number, what I have come to see is this: folks on the left are only interested in presenting the edited facts that support their argument.
Folks are the right are somewhat more balanced.
They don't really support the use of facts at all.

Which came first, the cancer or syphillis?

During the DNC a video was shown of a young woman talking about how her dad died. He refused to wear PPE, never washed his hands after coming home, went to stores and restaurants were social distancing was not possible, and continued working every day because he was a Trump supporter. Her last sentence was priceless: "His only pre-existing condition was supporting Donald Trump."

The tape indicates he downplayed the virus. In order to prevent the country from descending into the frantic hell liberals would have caused, with statements like “It’s in God’s hands.”

From this footage, looks to me like Joe would have downplayed it as well.

Maybe, but does that make it right?

So why do people on the right always deny proven facts when I present them? If I say this is proof Donald Trump hates Muslims and Latinos, they either ask me what I am talking about or deny what he said means anything. Yeah, right - what about the time his travel ban was specifically for "Muslim countries" instead of "Middle East" after telling voters all Muslims are terrorists? It can't get more obvious than that, and here are Trump supporters saying he did nothing to prove a religious prejudice.

It’s a trait. They believe all kinds of things that aren’t true, such as tax cuts pay for themselves; increasing the money supply causes hyperinflation; government help causes dependency, etc.

So, it’s no surprise when they swallow whatever Trump says. They’ve been conditioned for decades to believe BS.
 
It's fairly easy to criticize people in retrospect.

What would Biden, if President (God forbid) have done differently?

The key might be in this clip of Joe talking to a crowd of supporters at the end of February, saying "It's not a time to panic."

Doesn't sound like the type of behavior characteristic of someone who would have immediately shut down the country. As Joe likes to fantasize that he would have done.



oooppsssss why was biden lying to people. OMG
ok all you leftist get your torches and your pitchforks time to hang him up for lying about the virus.

Now let us watch them do a 180 degree turn around and flip flop faster than a waffle at the waffle house.
 
1. It is a six second clip .... whatever we just saw is out of context
2. It was never a time to "PANIC" about corona virus, so his words (as ill-informed as he was here -- see below) were spot on.
3. At the time, Biden was not POTUS. He did not have NSA nor CDC briefings. He was not in the know
4. At the time, Biden was not POTUS. This was not his responsibility, he was merely a candidate for the nomination. His words meant nothing. Leading the country through the pandemic was not his job.
5. Remember, Trump actually was President, privy to sufficient information to understand the problem AND responsible to the American people for acting appropriately to the threat at hand. He failed to do his job.


Do you actually have a point or are you simply a Trump supporter pathetically flailing trying to detract from or otherwise diminish Trump's epic failure of leadership here? Please up your game.
Unlike Trump, Biden has articulated what he would do about the pandemic. Joe Biden’s Plan to Beat COVID-19 – Joe Biden for President: Official Campaign Website

SO you approve of joe biden lying about the virus got it. hypocrisy noted and you are dismissed.
 
Trump downplayed a serious virus for political purposes.

End of story.

hypocrisy noted. it is ok for biden to lie and down play the virus.
dismissed.
 
And it wasn't time to panic, panic is never a good thing, to warn people by saying it is not a time to panic is smart advice, only someone who supports Dishonest Donald would make the advice not to panic into a bad thing. Go figure.

hypocrisy noted.

YOu guys are living up to the expected standards.

Nah, the hypocrites are the Trumpsupporters. He said he did not want to spread panic but the man has been playing panic football all frigging year, antifa, BLM, book writers, Latino's, journalists, Biden, Biden, Biden, Harris, Pocahontas, Bernie, leftists, socialists, etc. etc. etc. etc. Dishonest Don has done nothing but spread panic and lies.

Sounds like he was being straight with the public and TELLING us not to panic. And supporting his words on why not to.

That's different than hiding the truth.

It's a huge distinction. A distinction that starts with understanding the difference between honesty and dishonesty. Do you understand that distinction?

It's already proven that The Donald is not concerned at all with that distinction.


This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa

I do not see the point here...

If anything, it shows how one can both be upfront about the nature of a threat and deliver the message in a calm way. The idea that Trump supposedly could not do what other leaders of developed countries did (want the public without creating panic) does not fly. Ad it is hilarious that especially Trump resorts to such excuses when he does not have a problem with making claims about the rapist and terrorists illegal immigrants and the caravans that invade the US....

I love the fact that either Trump or some of his supporters tried at some point to compare Trump to Churchill. That would have been appropriate only if Churchill was trying to downplay the nazi threat and was saying stupid things which had zero connection to the reality at the time. Of course, everybody who knows history knows that Churchill was the one who was actually trying to warn his people about the Nazi threat. And he did it as a competent leader: he psychologically prepared the nation for sacrifices without creating panic!

What on Earth does this have to do with the OP?

Biden was traveling around telling small crowds of supporters that he would have locked down the country immediately.

The tone and content of his words in this video clip indicate that he most likely would NOT have shut down the country immediately. And that this is all just bluster after the fact, criticizing Trump in retrospect.

Not only wouldn’t Joe have locked down the country immediately, he would not have restricted travel to and from China, and our deaths per cases, instead of being 2.9%, would have looked more like Italy’s, at 12.5%.

Even his campaign manager would not state, when pressed repeatedly by Bret Bauer, that Joe would have imposed the travel restrictions Trump did, which bought many (not all, but many) hospitals valuable time to prepare.
