Biden pushes back on Trump's testing claims, labels coronavirus response 'incompetent'
ABC "News" / Disney ^ | May 12, 2020 | By John Verhovek and Molly Nagle

In an interview Tuesday morning on “Good Morning America,” presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden pushed back on President Donald Trump’s claim that anyone in America who wants to get tested for COVID-19 has the ability to do so.

“The truth is the truth, George. Anyone can't get a test around the country...He knew about this crisis all the way back in January and February. He's been incompetent the way he responded,” Biden told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos.

Biden said that as president, he would advise the nation’s governors to listen to the medical experts on the question of when it is safe to open back up certain parts of the country, in particular Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“I would tell the governors to listen to Dr. Fauci, listen to the scientists, listen to what the facts are. Look this is this President has to focus on what's going on here,” Biden added.

“I'm following the rules...The president should follow the rules instead of showing up in places without masks and the whole thing,” Biden said, adding that he is “anxious” to campaign and noting his penchant for interacting with people at his rallies long after they are over.

“I enjoy interfacing with people. I'm not trying to avoid it, but I'm trying to set an example as to how we should proceed in terms of dealing with this health and economic crisis,” Biden said.

“He knew about this crisis all the way back in January and February and April and most disgracefully, July. President Bush has been a soldier-faced pony dog, incompetent the way all of them responded! Disgusting!”

That is one word the befuddled Biden should not be using. Or does his campaign want to bait Trump into mocking his brain decline?

"Okay, let's talk about CV, combat veterans. John Kerry was a combat veteran. Even won the Pony Soldier Star in Vietnam! But Henry Trump was a draft dodger. What did he win?"

Dems have their talking points organized as usual. They are rolling out a very coordinated assault on POTUS. Sadly, we can’t expect the same from the GOP in defense of liberty and POTUS.

“They are rolling out a very coordinated assault on POTUS.”

And we don’t know, still, just who disseminates their plans...

Just like with Bathhouse Barry.

I bet George didn’t ask Biden about the White House meeting he was in with Obama, Comey, Clapper, Brennen and Rice when the conspired to take out LTG Flynn and Trump.

Trump is starting to travel the country again and this clown is still sleeping in his basement. It’s the Weekend and Joeys election. Let’s hope they can’t fool the people.
