Axios, a left-leaning news organization, deleted a tweet fact-checking a claim made by Vice President Kamala Harris, which fact-checkers rated as “wrong,” after Harris started to face backlash over her false claims.
The tweet contained a video of a portion of an interview that Harris gave to Axios co-founder Mike Allen, which aired over the weekend. In the video, Harris was asked about the Biden administration’s response to the pandemic.
“There was no stockpile … of vaccines,” Harris claimed. “There was no national strategy or plan for vaccinations. We were leaving it to the states and local leaders to try and figure it out. And so in many ways, we’re starting from scratch on something that’s been raging for almost an entire year!”
In their now-deleted tweet, Axios wrote: “.@VP Harris to @mikeallen: ‘There was no national strategy or plan for [COVID-19] vaccinations. We’re starting from scratch.’ At a press conference last month, Fauci said ‘we certainly are not starting from scratch’ on vaccine distribution.'”
Even PolitiFact, which is left-leaning, said that Harris’ claim was “wrong,” writing in a tweet: “.@VP told @mikeallen that ‘there was no national strategy or plan for vaccinations’ and that Biden admin was ‘starting from scratch.’ That’s wrong. The Trump admin had a plan to distribute to locations chosen by states and let them take it from there.”
Political commentator Stephen Miller responded to Axios deleting their tweet by highlighting the recent revelation that one of Axios’ reporters was dating a member of the Biden administration, who has since resigned after he threatened to “destroy” a reporter.
“Axios deleting this tweet seems suspicious given the revelations that a reporter for them who covers Kamala Harris is head over heels in love with a now former Biden Administration member,” Miller wrote. “See the problem now guys?”

Implementing 1984 turned out to be a simple matter of turning ostensibly independent institutions into shills for the Democrat Party.
Easy-peasy.
President Trump did a lot of great things. One of them being, allowing “state and local” government representatives and bureaucrats to show the world their competence or, in almost all of the liberal/Dem examples, their incompetence and ineptitude.
I’m thinking is thinking is.....you told the people you knew what you were doing and could handle things. Prove it or get out of the way.
Amazing that so many on the Left can’t see or demás that from the people they elect and support. Always pointing fingers at someone else.
The lefty propagandist is black Commie peddling bold faced lies for Heals Up.
I am wondering how the tweet was made in the first place and if the person responsible is still alive.
Never contradict the Queen.
Even if eeevil Orange Man didn’t have a plan, how would you be starting from scratch when you had months to prepare to be ready on Day 1, like you claimed you would.
As Hillary would say “what difference does it make”. They lie about everything and no one cares.
This is going to be the most “wrong” administration in history. That’s a sure bet.
Vice President Kamala Harris
*************
That almost made me throw up in my mouth
Think of CommieLaw Harris this way and you will smile instead!
Harris is dumbing than I thought. Must have been her Marxist family influence re lying as a strategic weapon to use against enemies, real and imagined.
This quote re a lack of preparation by Trump/Admin in dealing with the coronavirus is going to bite her on her Marxist ass for a long time.
We should use it every time she speaks. Let honest journalists ask her about this lie and “why did you say it when you knew it wasn’t true?”
The time to start nailing her commie ass to the wall is NOW and we’d better have big hammer and lots of nails because she is as much a psychopathic liar as Joe Biden is a brain-damaged professional liar and plagiarizer.
Show them no mercy in print, verbally, visually, etc.
