Head of GOP says coronavirus failures are somehow Biden's fault



By Emily Singer -September 14, 2020 9:48 AM

It's part of a growing trend of Republicans trying to shift blame for Trump's coronavirus response to ... anyone but Trump.

Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel on Sunday tried to blame Donald Trump's failure to stop the spread of the coronavirus on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, even though Biden is not currently president and has had nothing to do with the government's response to the deadly pandemic.

"Joe Biden can't run from his disastrous record responding to the coronavirus," McDaniel tweeted on Sunday. "The truth hurts, Joe!"

McDaniel's comment is part of a growing trend from Republicans, who have tried to claim anyone but Trump is culpable for Trump's pandemic response, which has resulted in over 6.5 million cases in the United States and 193,950 deaths — more than in any other country in the world.

Last week, Republicans' Senate nominee for Michigan, John James, claimed his Democratic opponent, incumbent Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, was responsible for the country's failed us response — a charge not based in reality given that Trump, not Peters, is the leader of the country.

"Attack your opponent for your own weakness."

And now they're taking it to the absurdest of extremes.

I think people generally see through it. I get the feeling that most folks hear this and realize that Joe wasn't actually the one in office this year. In fact, I get the feeling this draws more attention to the fact that Trump WAS in office and his response was criminally negligent at best.

So, as a wise man once said: "Please proceed...."
