Biden pushes back on Trump's testing claims, labels coronavirus response 'incompetent'

In an interview Tuesday morning on “Good Morning America,” presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden pushed back on President Donald Trump’s claim that anyone in America who wants to get tested for COVID-19 has the ability to do so.

“The truth is the truth, George. Anyone can't get a test around the country...He knew about this crisis all the way back in January and February. He's been incompetent the way he responded,” Biden told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos.

Biden said that as president, he would advise the nation’s governors to listen to the medical experts on the question of when it is safe to open back up certain parts of the country, in particular Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“I would tell the governors to listen to Dr. Fauci, listen to the scientists, listen to what the facts are. Look this is this President has to focus on what's going on here,” Biden added.

“I'm following the rules...The president should follow the rules instead of showing up in places without masks and the whole thing,” Biden said, adding that he is “anxious” to campaign and noting his penchant for interacting with people at his rallies long after they are over.

“I enjoy interfacing with people. I'm not trying to avoid it, but I'm trying to set an example as to how we should proceed in terms of dealing with this health and economic crisis,” Biden said.

I’m surprised he didn’t say “incontinent”

Why is he still hiding? Looks more and more like a inconsequential cowardly buffoon. Even “stretch” pelosi is out speaking at a podium.

When Oregon received 10,000 tests, the governor refused to distribute them. Locked them up.

Check out President Trumps ads on Biden, and China. He is taking a clue from Obama on how to hit a Challenger early.
