Joe inherited a mess thanks to Trump.

On both issues.

He has done a great job but the Republicans are out to get him.

We know they want back the power they lost.

I have two Granddaughters and I want them to have a future.

They will not under the American Taliban.

This mess with the virus is to make Joe look bad.

Screw the economy, and have piles of dead Americans.

The Republicans are like the Taliban.
