At the White House Press Conference on 1 Dec 2021, Peter Doocy from Fox News reminded White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki that during the second Presidential debate of 2020, Democrat candidate Biden not only blamed Trump for the 220k deaths that had occurred in the US due to COVID-19, but told the audience that “anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as President of the United States of America.”
Doocy then asked if President Biden still believed that standard should be used used to remove a President from office, since far more Americans than that have died from COVID under his administration. than the previous.
Psaki responded by saying, “I think the fundamental question is ‘what are you doing to save lives and protect people?”
In other words, the results don’t matter, only his actions. She then tried to divert attention away from the increased number of deaths under the Biden administration by making several false accusations against Trump. Claims that have been proven to be false long ago.
For instance, she claimed Trump tested positive for COVID-19 and told no one. The truth is on Sep 26 (three days prior to the Presidential Debate) Trump did test positive for COVID-19. However, he was immediately tested again, and the results came back negative. He was tested again on Sep 27, and the results were again negative. He was tested yet again the day before and the day of the debate, (Sep 28 and 29) and both of those tests were negative.
One positive test, followed by 4 negative tests. The positive test from Sept 26 was deemed to have been a false positive and therefore was not reported on.
It is also worth noting that he also tested negative for the virus the day after the debate. However, on Oct 1, he the did test positive again. That positive test was later confirmed, and he was immediately quarantined.
She also claimed Trump suggested people inject themselves with bleach. This has also been repeatedly proven to be false.
This claim stems from a press briefing given by Bill Bryan, Under Secretary for Science and Technology at DHS was describing some of the research being done regarding the COVID-19 virus. He explained that the virus does not last long in high temperature, humidity & sunlight. He also said, “We’ve tested bleach, we’ve tested isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids, and I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes,” Bryan said. “Isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing. Just bring it on and leaving it go. You rub it and it goes away even faster.”
In response to Bryan’s statements on the effectiveness of alcohol and bleach killing the virus in saliva, Trump asked Bryan, “Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning?
Democrats often claim Trump doesn’t listen to the experts. Yet when he is heard asking an expert if there was a way to “do something like that” Democrats claim Trump is urging Americans to “inject themselves with bleach.”
Seriously. How can you possibly claim that asking an expert a question is the same as telling people to do something.
Let’s look at some of the highlights from last year, and compare Trump to Biden and the Democrats.
Trump initiated a travel ban from China in January 2020. Democrats called him xenophobic and racist.
Biden bans travel from 8 African countries, and Democrats praise him for taking preemptive action.
Trump tells the American people the virus is serious and we need to take precautions, and Democrats claim he is fear mongering.
A month later Democrats insist the virus is extremely dangerous and that Trump is not taking it seriously!
Trump tells the American people that masks could help protect them from the virus, and Democrats (and Dr Fauci) claim masks are ineffective and only offer a false sense of security against the virus.
Later, Democrats (and Dr Fauci) push to enact mask mandates, and criticize Trump for not wearing a mask everywhere he goes.
From 20 Jan to 29 Sep, 2020, 220k Americans died from COVID-19 without a vaccine, and Biden not only places the responsibility for those deaths solely on Trump, he goes on to claim “anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as President of the United States of America.”
Yet despite mask mandates and a vaccine that was developed and delivered in record time under the Trump’s administration with 400 MILLION doses administered, during the same time period in 2021, deaths from COVID-19 increases by 292,600 (a 33% increase) under the Biden Administration. But according to his administration, what matters is that he is trying, not that he is failing. And he is failing at a rate far greater than the man he claimed was incompetent and actively doing and saying things that cost people their lives.
When will the Biden administration be able to discuss their policies and actions without bringing up Trump and making false claims? My guess is never. They need to continue to make Trump look as bad as possible, to make people think they are better than they are.
Bury the truth, support the narrative.
