Fact-checking Biden: Did Trump lie to the American people about COVID-19?
American Thinker ^ | 09/30/2020 | Jonathan Moseley

Tuesday's debate for the 2020 presidential election between President Donald Trump and former vice president Joe Biden was moderated by establishment Chris Wallace. Biden and Trump more or less ran over Wallace for 90 minutes. Biden appeared to be in his right mind, alert, and healthy but, as usual, lost in the world of left-wing talking points.

When Christine O'Donnell ran against Joe Biden for U.S. Senate in 2008, she often vividly explained that people were wearing bell-bottom jeans and dancing the hustle way back when Joe Biden was last in the private sector and was first elected to the U.S. Senate. The lowdown on Joe (having helped with Christine's 2008 campaign in Delaware) is that Biden has spent 47 years soaking in a left-wing marinade. Biden is baffled that the rest of the country doesn't applaud the ideas of his left-wing friends. Biden does not "get" people who aren't liberal.

Biden made the expected charge from Bob Woodward's book that President Donald Trump knew in late February that COVID-19 was already a serious threat. Trump did not warn the American people that COVID-19 presented a threat. Trump knew. Trump lied to the country. People died. In left-wing logic, QED.

Trump said on tape with Bob Woodward then that he wanted to downplay the virus so people would not panic. Biden joined the finger-pointing to the effect that Trump intentionally misled the American people by not letting them know.

But Biden fails the first fact-check: on January 31, 2020, Donald Trump declared a national public health emergency. January 31, 2020. Long before late February, Trump had already trumpeted to the entire nation and to the entire world that this was an emergency.

When COVID broke, folks acted out in an irrational, hysterical, frenzied manner.
Example, the toilet paper panic.
Folks bought two or more of stuff, when one was needed
Stores shelves were empty.

President Trump had to exude calm and point towards a better future, that the nation would survive and beat the China Flu

Trump could’ve invented COVID.

I’m still voting for him in November.
