Fox warns Biden will blame Trump for botched COVID response like Obama blamed Bush for economy

[TomCADem]

While there is a lot of talk about the Republican party possibly moving away from Trumpism, that is just a pipe dream so long as you have a right wing ecosystem that exists in fact and logic free universe. The reason why President Obama was elected was because Dubya's policies lead to the Great Recession. Likewise, Trump's failures lead to the tragic death of 400,000 Americans, and a per capita death rate that is in the top 10 worldwide.

BRIAN KILMEADE (HOST): But if the past is prologue, we could look to how Barack Obama handled his years when things went wrong, he quickly blamed Bush.

...

This happened for six years, and we saw it again today with Joe Biden. Said there's no plan to put the vaccine in people's arms. There was no plan at all, already exaggerating. Saying his plan of one million shots per day is something he's going to aspire to. They say we are basically already doing that. So can you see this happening again, blame Trump instead of blame Bush?

SEN. TOM COTTON: I'm pretty sure that Joe Biden will probably try to do that but let's remember Donald Trump and no American is responsible for this pandemic or the recession that it unleashed. It was the culpability of the Chinese Communist Party.

1. Sounds like Fox is conditioning their audience for bad news.

By misinforming their audience on the state of the economy in 2008 when Obama took charge. How misinformed do you want to be?

2. Because Trump should be blamed for that, you fucking morons!

His response to COVID was worse than nothing! He pulled out of the WHO, fired the pandemic response team, and turned te CDC into a joke of an organization! He absolutely deserves 100% of the blame for this!

3. Trump: "I inherited a mess."

"The last administration left us nothing. We started off with bad, broken tests, and obsolete tests."

"The cupboard was bare. The other administration, the last administration, left us nothing. We didn't have ventilators. We didn't have medical equipment."

"When I came in, we had no ammunition."

"The Obama administration worked out a brand new air conditioning system for the West Wing and it was so good before they did the system. Now that they did this system it's freezing or hot in here."

"General Flynn was given the highest security clearance by the Obama Administration."

4. China is to communism as Russia is to socialism.

Both are the opposite!

China is a capitalist and Russia is an oligarchy.

5. True and True... next question?

The repukes since Regan have screwed up the economy and making corporations and the wealthy more powerful and, well more wealthy. Huge wealth disparity. The Dems are then stuck with fixing it with the repuke lament of "economy economy economy"... Don't forget Regan TRIPPED the national debt.. Clinton left office with a surplus that Bush just tore thru and Obama had to fix... My take on the matter
