'It’s a disgrace.' Joe Biden tears into President Trump for saying he downplayed coronavirus risks.
Joe Biden tore into President Donald Trump for saying he downplayed coronavirus risks. "While this deadly disease ripped through our nation, he failed to do his job on purpose," Biden said Wednesday.
"He had the information. He knew how dangerous it was. And while this deadly disease ripped through our nation, he failed to do his job on purpose," said Biden, in response to Trump's taped interviews with journalist Bob Woodward for the forthcoming book, "Rage." "I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic," Trump can be heard saying.
"The President's own words spell out the devastating truth: Trump was fully aware of the catastrophic nature of the coronavirus but hid the facts and refused to take the threat seriously, leaving our entire country exposed and unprepared," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement Wednesday. "These gotcha books don't really interest me that much. There will be a new one out tomorrow," said Kennedy."Let me answer you again. These gotcha books don't really interest me. There will be a new one out tomorrow," Kennedy said again, before insisting that he could speak only from his personal experience with Trump.
