What a completely bullshit article. Yes, there was a pandemic during Obama’s presidency - swine flu - and though it wasn’t as bad as COVID, it was bad and we were worried it would be worse. So the administration created a pandemic playbook, which was left in place for Trump. Of course, Trump ignored it and even disbanded offices that formed a part of the response team.
So Biden was completely accurate and it’s The Daily Beast who has memory issues, not him.
You’ve already lost. The poster is intentionally spreading misinformation. What matters is that the headline gets read, the association that Biden is incompetent gets triggered, and a voter sits out or votes for the other guy by default when the time comes.
A fact-filled refutation only matters if the reader cares about facts and will adjust their views based on them. But the target audience of the article couldn’t care less.
Biden then said, “And what happened was, Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit, and help fix it.’" This is way too deep in the nettles for me to remember or even google; do you have any idea whether that trip to Detroit was about the pandemic, or (like TBD seems to think) about the recession?
