Joe Biden slams Trump's coronavirus response. Trump accuses the former VP of conspiracy theories.

President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden battled over the government's coronavirus response on Thursday, and the Trump campaign accused Biden's team of spreading conspiracies.

After Biden delivered a speech on Thursday condemning the administration's slow and chaotic response to the pandemic, Tim Murtaugh, the Trump campaign's communications director, attacked Biden's record and his campaign's messaging on the coronavirus in an email to supporters.

"In the past, Joe Biden has shown terrible judgment and incompetence in the face of public health issues," Murtaugh wrote. "[Trump's] every move has been aimed at keeping Americans safe, while Joe Biden has sought to capitalize politically and stoke citizens' fears."

Murtaugh also accused Biden's campaign of spreading a conspiracy theory that Trump deliberately encouraged the virus' spread, interpreting a tweet by Biden digital director Bob Flaherty as evidence. Flaherty tweeted, "Sure seems like this is getting out of hand and Donald Trump decided to let it be this way."

"Yesterday his campaign actually raised the vile conspiracy theory that the President purposely allowed the coronavirus to spread," Murtaugh wrote. In a tweet, Murtaugh linked to a Breitbart article about Flaherty's tweet.

Breitbart, now there's a credible source for rebuttal.
