Joe Biden has yet another gaffe-filled media appearance
More on yesterday’s story.
[NYPOST] Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant...
conducted a gaffe-filled interview on MSNBC Monday, kicking off his media appearance by referring to the epicenter of the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
by the wrong name.

"I suggested we should have people in China at the outset of this event, when it all started, in Luhan Province," Biden told the network, meaning to refer to the city of Wuhan, in Hubei Province, where the virus originated.

The Democratic front-runner went on to claim that the Trump administration withdrew CDC staffers in the months leading up to the virus outbreak, likely stemming from a Rooters report from last week claiming that the administration slashed CDC staff in China.

"We had people in our administration, we had CDC people in other countries because we wanted to anticipate when in fact another virus would occur, when in fact a pandemic might occur as a consequence of a spreading virus in another country, to act quickly. The president withdrew those people," Biden said.

The problem, however, is that regardless of staffing cuts, the CDC began offering to send a team of experts to the Chinese province back in early January, according to the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

As he did last week, Biden again gave the wrong date for a USA Today op-ed he penned on the virus, again claiming it was posted on Jan. 17 when it was actually Jan. 27.

The ex-VP also mixed up his drugstores and government agencies, accidentally referring to CVS as CVC.

When thanked by the MSNBC co-host for sitting down with her, Biden had another awkward remark, responding, "Well, thanks for giving me the time. So they won’t wonder where I am."

"They" appears to refer to the American people, likely an acknowledgment of his general absence from the campaign trail, as the pandemic keeps the 77-year-old trapped in his Delaware home.

#3 My favorite Archie Bunkerism was the time he mentioned "the grossest national product."

#5 Can't even ace an interview with the oiliest of media toadies. MSNBC is basically the mouthpiece of the deep state that would very much like to have a dementia patient in the White House. He just signs everything that comes across his desk. It's perfect. Back to the Obama days again. Rule by incompetent mandarins.
