Conway criticizes Biden for not offering to help Trump on coronavirus

Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway criticized former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday for not calling President Trump to offer assistance or support amid the coronavirus outbreak.

“I think it’s really disappointing to have President Obama’s number two, who apparently doesn’t talk much to him, out there criticizing instead of saying, hey, here’s what we did that we thought was effective,” Conway said on "Fox & Friends."

“Why doesn’t Vice President Biden call the White House today and offer some support? He’s in his bunker in Wilmington, and I have to tell you we’re not talking about politics here at the White House at all. We’re talking about ventilators and vaccines, not Biden and Bernie.”

Trump said at a press conference last week that he had not consulted with previous administrations, believing that he wouldn’t learn anything new to help him deal with the current virus outbreak.

WHAT F**KING BULLSHIT spews from that foul mouth!
They've spent the last 3 1/2 years throwing away anything and everything that PRESIDENT OBAMA and his administrative team had done, not to mention that IQ45 never passes up the chance to make derogatory comments about the man that is going to kick his ass in November (are you listening, Donnie? Do you have anything else to say to "Sleepy Joe?&quot
Let's see who's sleeping well after the night of November 3!

but more importantly speaking of the organization they set up in the WH to deal with future epidemics --- that was disbanded by the Trump administration - with Trump actually saying that he personally did not do that! Not to mention, there was even a playbook for how to deal with it ... that was also ignored.

Even the Hill,which leans right, points out that Trump said he consulted NO previous administration -- not even GWB.

Even if he had ten billion dollars and a cure for cancer, Trump wouldn't take the call.

(Trump WOULD then cuss out the operator for losing out on the money)

You know the ones that detailed measures to curtail a pandemic. Did you or anyone in this clusterfu**ck cabal consult the NSC experts on their assessment of a worlds wide catastrophic disease? No, your incompetent boss disbanded the group. So just shut up!

He is not currently in any position of power. He is trying to get there, but he hasn't been elected yet. Conway is always talking politics. That is all she knows.

China and a lot of other countries run by authoritarians, including our own conceal lots of stuff. This is why we have intelligence agencies. When they work properly, they are able to determine what it is that is being concealed, and then brief the President on that. Lot of good that did.

Noway would Rump ask anyone from Obama administration to help him with anything when he is trying to destroy everything they left in place. Also you guys can't have it three ways....it is China..It is Obama ..It is Joe! You guys are running out of people to blame except the ones who dismantled the very institution they need right now. Please go away Kelly. You seems to be on the scared side knowing your boss messed up yet again.

But thanks for admitting trump is incompetent.

He could get on the phone and ask anyone for help. There are still experts in the cdc and military he could listen to.

He could get off his lazy ass and do his fing job.
