“Look, There Is No Federal Solution”: Biden Backtracks On His Campaign Vow To ‘Shut Down’ Covid-19; Now Believes in States Rights
Nation and State ^ | 12/27/2021 | Tyler Durden

On October 22, 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden vowed to "shut down the virus, not the country."

14 months later, now-President Biden just admitted that there's no 'federal solution' to the pandemic, and that it's up to individual states to do what he promised.

"Look, there is no federal solution," he said during a call with state governors. "This gets solved at state level … and that ultimately gets down to where the rubber meets the road, and that’s where the patient is in need of help — or preventing the need for help."

"My message to the governors is simple: if you need something, say something. We’re going to have your back in any way we can," Biden added.

Things already weren't looking good on the 'shutting down' front last week...

Biden's admission comes days after a Vanity Fair report which revealed that the Biden admin rejected an October proposal to provide rapid at-home tests to Americans before the holidays, allowing them to screen themselves at will and thereby help reduce transmission.

The plan, in effect, was a blueprint for how to avoid what is happening at this very moment—endless lines of desperate Americans clamoring for tests in order to safeguard holiday gatherings, just as COVID-19 is exploding again. Yesterday, President Biden told David Muir of ABC News, “I wish I had thought about ordering” 500 million at-home tests “two months ago.” But the proposal shared at the meeting in October, disclosed here for the first time, included a “Bold Plan for Impact” and a provision for “Every American Household to Receive Free Rapid Tests for the Holidays/New Year.” -VF

In short, Biden isn't even trying to 'shut down' the virus.

Adding insult to injury, White House Press Secretary scoffed at the idea of nationwide home tests three weeks ago.

"Should we just send one to every American?"

Jen Psaki somewhat mockingly asks reporter at the White House Daily Press Briefing if the US should be sending out rapid #COVID19 tests to every household.

In the UK you can order 1 pack (containing 7 tests) everyday. https://t.co/ErnSsiLxxl pic.twitter.com/L7ruKWdy5n — Matt Karolian (@mkarolian) December 6, 2021

Astounding.

There are no federal solutions, only federal diktats.

“Now Believes in States Rights”

More like passing the buck so he can blame others for his own failures if things go bad...or take credit for this “strategy” if they go well.

Brandon does not believe in States’ Rights. Brandon’s handlers believe in States’ Responsibilities.

Yeh....If you need anything...give me a call....

Otherwise leave me alone.

Sounds like maybe he's letting Fauci do his own thing. Fauci is not the only Dr. in the world that knows about this stuff.

What a difference from President Trump who went waaaaay beyond the call of duty.

Cuomo was a pr*** through the whole thing.....while Trump was President.

The “experts” have been promising a cure for cancer for a century.

If they actually found it that would destroy a whole bunch of charities that have big staff salary bills to pay!

I can’t stop laughing. Biden and his puppeteers will change on a dime and pretend nothing happened. It should be hilarious when Psaki explains this one. Everything out of her mouth is lies and deceit. Did she learn this trait from her parents?

I don’t know what the heck I’m doing so I’m going to kick this over to the states and blame them when it all goes wrong

Right on time. They knew well in advance that the gummint wouldn’t be the answer, but was a good cudgel to use against Trump. They’re just priming the pump to declare ongoing vaxxing with experimental cocktails, federal and travel restrictions like the Nazis and Soviets imposed, and soft lockdowns as far as the mind can imagine. The only thing between their soft tyranny and a hard coup is rifle barrels pointed at us.

The dems are positioning to blame Trump for what happens because of the vaccines from now on.

Let’s go, Brandon or FJB.

A rose by any other name ... he still stinks.

Impeach 46.
