Biden: "You're right-The American people are tired. They're tired of your lies about this virus."

Biden criticizes Trump for attacking Fauci as a 'disaster'

Joe Biden has released a statement criticizing Trump for attacking Dr Anthony Fauci as a “disaster” during a call with his campaign staff today.

“Coronavirus infections are spiking across the country, but President Trump decided to attack Dr. Fauci again today as a ‘disaster’ and call public health experts ‘idiots’ instead of laying out a plan to beat this virus or heeding their advice about how we can save lives and get our economy moving again,” Biden said in the statement released by his campaign.

“Mr. President, you’re right about one thing: the American people are tired. They’re tired of your lies about this virus,” Biden added. “Now, more than ever, we need a leader to bring us together, put a plan in place, and beat this virus — but you have proven yourself yet again to be incapable of doing that.”

Biden is off the campaign trail today to prepare for his Thursday debate against the president, where the Democratic nominee will likely try to press Trump on these attacks against Fauci.
