Biden Busted in Another Lie About Tests, Gets Blasted for Delayed Response – Opinion

Yesterday’s remarks by Joe Biden on COVID were marred by lies about Omicron transmission, the unvaccinated and a lot of snapping and coughing at reporters.

Yamiche Alcindor (NBC News/PBS) asked Biden about the delay in ramping up testing. Biden snapped at her and then claimed it didn’t take long at all; he said that no one could have anticipated how quickly Omicron would spread.

CNN’s @Phil_Mattingly to Biden: “You said we have to do better but public health officials have been saying for months you need to surge rapid tests for…this moment. Is it a failure that you don’t have an adequate amount of tests for everyone to be able to get one…right now?” pic.twitter.com/eRFGSthsMn

PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor: “What’s your message to Americans who are trying to get tested now and who are not able to get tested and who are wondering what took so long to ramp up testing?”

There are a few big problems with Biden’s claim.

First of all, this contradicts the statement made yesterday by the CDC Director.

President Biden to @YamicheHours ago, I asked why testing was so slow. @CDCDirectorYou can find more information here @JudyWoodruffJust now: “We knew Omicron had the ability to grow at this pace.”

Biden once more is lying. Who in this discombobulated administration is worthy of belief when they all seem to lie their heads off and the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing? Of course, they could have anticipated variants — just because there were already variants when they came into office.

But beyond that, at this point, going on almost two years of the virus, you’re saying it just occurred to you that you need testing, with Omicron? Think about what it would have been like if Donald Trump had responded to that question. We don’t have to imagine it; the liberal media would have ripped him apart.

Indeed, let’s listen to what Joe Biden had to say about testing back in December 2020, One year ago, when he chastised Trump for not having, in his opinion, enough testing after 10 months. So, what is it when you don’t have sufficient testing after a year– and for 10 months?

Biden had then pledged 500 million tests. However, if one listens to the Build back Better Twitter propaganda account, it might seem that he actually said 1.5 billion.

Experts criticized the Biden team because they were too late to the party and that the numbers weren’t enough. It isn’t that many if you look at the American population, which amounts to 500 million. Plus he says they’re not going to be available until next month; so, no, they’re not on top of anything.

A journalist discovered the disconnect with White House Press secretary Jen Psaki today and pointed out all of the flaws in what Biden had claimed. Psaki was just as shocked at how random this is, after Biden’s 11-month tenure. Biden is starting to frustrate even the liberal media.

So, while they announced things yesterday, they won’t have anything up for weeks yet. That’s the Biden Administration in a nutshell: day late and a dollar short.
