Gaffe-prone Joe Biden stumbles his words while describing the impact of COVID, saying it has 'uh, taken more lives than any year in the past 100 years'

Coronavirus is a key line of attack in Joe Biden's effort to topple the Trump presidency, so you would have thought he'd have his lines straight by now.

Despite mentioning Trump's response to the virus every chance he gets, Biden managed to fumble his words as he spoke from a Pennsylvania steel mill on Monday.

While seemingly trying to say that coronavirus is 'the worst pandemic for 100 years', the former Vice President actually told bemused viewers: 'COVID has taken this year, just since the outbreak, has taken more than 100 years… Look. Here’s… The lives… It’s just… I mean, think about it.

"More lives this year than any year in the past 100 years,' he concluded.

The gaffe echoes dozens of times that Biden, 77, fumbled his words during the Democrat primaries, raising fears among voters that he is not fit to take on Trump

The media praised his Pittsburgh speech, and specifically ignored this stumble.

Can the media cover for him for this entire campaign? Will they be able to cover up if something like that happens during the debates?

[ChronicMA]

Wow, biden is right. zero people died of covid-19 during the whole obama administration. thanks joe for reminding us.

[Alas Babylon!]

Biden managed to fumble his words as he spoke from a Pennsylvania steel mill on Monday.

Yeah, with all five people listening...

Another incoherent Biden moment. Of course you have to go to a British News Outlet or FNC prime time to hear about it. After this there were no questions and Joe went right back to the basement.

[Alas Babylon!]

On SECOND thought, I person is actually listening, the other four are on their devices...

[Salamander]

C’mon, man!

Think about the thing!

More lives this year than any year in the past 100 years

Well, technically, he is correct.

The coronavirus did not take any lives in the past, and 'this year' it's taken more than in the past, where in the past, it was zero.

Somebody should put it to him like I just did above and ask him if that's what he meant. He'll likely draw a blank and go crazy-eyes. He'll likely answer: well yeah, that's what I meant, err... I think.

So staged. Biden is such a feeble phony and demented fraud.

Perhaps the chicken wire was meant to evoke a cage match. That’d be hilarious - a cage match between Sleepy Joe and Trump.

So, I’m thinkin the 2 guys on the right are on porn sites. The one with the head gear is waiting for the falafel buffet. Cameraman just graduated cameraman school.

If they used the same accounting methods they could show that more people died after eating at Taco Bell than died from the actual pandemic of 1918-19.

[COBOL2Java]

That was nice of the RATs to put up American flags - with all 50 stars! I wonder where they found them. :-)

[crz]

They sure are cheap huh?

Save all that money by putting up chicken wire.

A grand money scam.

[albie]

Probably found them about to be burned at a BLM “event”. I’m sure they’re burned by now though.

[shelterguy]

So his whole campaign will be produced in a Hollywood sound stage.

[Noumenon]

That’s ok. They’ll burn and/or defecate on them later.

[1Old Pro]

So his whole campaign will be produced in a Hollywood sound stage.

Like I've said elsewhere, his staged campaign makes a staged moon landing seem believable.
