During his CNN town hall with Anderson Cooper Tuesday evening, Joe Biden claimed that “we didn’t have” a vaccine for COVID-19 when he took office.
“It’s one thing about the vaccine – which we didn’t have when we came into office – but a vaccinator, how do you get the vaccine into someone’s arm? You need the needle, you need the mechanisms to be able to get it in,” Biden said. “Now, we have made significant strides increasing the number of vaccinators.”
The claim was made after he’d previously said that “50 million doses that were available” when he took office, leading many to call it a gaffe. “It was a verbal stumble, a typical Biden gaffe, as he had already mentioned 50 million doses being available when he took office,” Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler said on Twitter. “Ex Trump officials should especially cool the outrage meter, as it just looks silly.”
But was it really a gaffe, or part of the Biden administration’s overall efforts to mislead the public?
Keep in mind that Joe Biden received his two doses before taking office. So, it’s a pretty big mistake to claim that there was no vaccine when he had actually received it. During the first week of the Biden administration, after being unable to answer questions about how many doses of the vaccine were available, Biden’s press secretary Jen Psaki blamed the Trump administration, falsely claiming the problems they had were inherited from the Trump administration and that it was “much worse than we could have imagined.” The next day, Joe Biden also claimed that the vaccine distribution left by the Trump administration was “in worse shape than we anticipated or expected.”
Well, see above. The former border chief claims Joey lies. Sure it’s hard to believe, but he has done so in the past half of a century.
Because, he, like obama, is lying if his lips are moving. Besides, how do you expect him to remember back that far?? He can’t even remember how to put his mask on.
