Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden conducted a gaffe-filled interview on MSNBC Monday, kicking off his media appearance by referring to the epicenter of the coronavirus by the wrong name.
I suggested we should have people in China at the outset of this event, when it all started, in Luhan Province, Biden told the network, meaning to refer to the city of Wuhan, in Hubei Province, where the virus originated.
The Democratic front-runner went on to claim that the Trump administration withdrew CDC staffers in the months leading up to the virus outbreak, likely stemming from a Reuters report from last week claiming that the administration slashed CDC staff in China.
We had people in our administration, we had CDC people in other countries because we wanted to anticipate when in fact another virus would occur, when in fact a pandemic might occur as a consequence of a spreading virus in another country, to act quickly. The president withdrew those people, Biden said.
The problem, however, is that regardless of staffing cuts, the CDC began offering to send a team of experts to the Chinese province back in early January, according to the New York Times.
As he did last week, Biden again gave the wrong date for a USA Today op-ed he penned on the virus, again claiming it was posted on Jan. 17 when it was actually Jan. 27.
The ex-VP also mixed up his drugstores and government agencies, accidentally referring to CVS as CVC.
When thanked by the MSNBC co-host for sitting down with her, Biden had another awkward remark, responding, Well, thanks for giving me the time. So they wont wonder where I am.

Not just Ukraine...theyre all in deep with China
“I think dr. Jill is Joes biggest problem. Ive always had the feeling that she would kill to be First Lady.”
I agree. She is the one who is pushing Joe.
Can someone tell me why they have sunglasses in the ads behind her?
Not looking for logic, just the reason.
When a presidential candidate makes a false statement that is provably and intentionally wrong in an interview, the interviewer is providing an in-kind political donation.
Of course the media has a long history of propping up dems while they lie, while cutting off conservatives while they try to either answer questions or set the record straight when they’re presented with false accusations.

Biden is this elections Bob Dole. Democrats know this old geezer aint winning sh*t
Watching Biden is like watching a 75yr old grandfather at Thanksgiving dinner. Just praying he doesnt say something racist or homophobic in front of dinner guests
Biden isn’t worthy to shine Bob Dole’s shoes.
Clearly, if Joe gets the nomination there will be no debates. This will be Trump’s fault. Count on it.
Haha
“...when it all started, in Luhan Province, Biden told the network, meaning to refer to the city of Wuhan...”
...meaning to refer to the city of Wuhan...
You know what they say about the word “assume”. Nobody has any idea what Joe was referring to. Joe doesn’t even know.
He's a pretty fancy dude. ;-)
Is that on record, somewhere?
I thought homophobia was a progressive concept, a word conservatives shouldnt use unless they criticize the very concept. Yes, we shouldnt be vulgar, but we should be free to criticize homosexual acts or even make fun of homosexuals.
Could someone wake me when he has one that *isn't*? Thanks.
...appearing on the Charlie LeDuff podcast, Carlson claimed that Biden insiders told him they don't believe the former vice president has the mental fortitude to last until the 2020 election in November, speculating that the Democratic Party may revoke his potential nomination.
