MSNBC host Joy Reid argued that former President Donald Trump is responsible for “a million bodies on the ground due to COVID.”
In comparing the Trump and Biden presidencies, Reid said Trump’s term was chaotic with crazy tweets, family separation, and a million COVID deaths as hospitals filled with bodies while states fought over ventilators.
Reid said, “As of last night, Trump and Biden are officially their party’s presumptive nominees. So we need to take a hard look at these candidates, their records, their accomplishments and the choice ahead of us. And, yes, where they stand on the safety and well being of every individual American. We’re also in a unique position to evaluate these men because both of them have been president. We can compare their actual presidencies rather than vote based on their promise.”
People died alone as the economy collapsed and the country locked down for a year.
By contrast, while Biden is old and set in his ways, he is at least sane, a grown-up, and can be reasoned with to change policies.
She added, “Which era do you want to relive, the chaotic, frankly four years of crazy tweets, migrant kids ripped from their parent arms, random fights with our allies and a million bodies on the ground due to COVID. The bodies stacked up in refrigerated trucks because the hospitals ran out of room.”
“The states fighting over ventilators ventilators. The old people dying by themselves and saying their good-byes on ipads, the economy literally collapsing and all of us stuck in our homes for a year? Kids having to graduate from high school and college on zoom. Or the Biden era, where the president is old. Yes, and set in his ways and some of his policies infuriating. But at least he’s sane and a grown-up and capable of being reasoned with and pushed to change his policies. It is a serious question. Does anybody think that reliving the Trump era is a good idea or something America would even survive?” she said.
Reid added that Trump did not want to deal with the public health catastrophe and instead spent months pushing unscientific claims and taking advice from “snake oil salesmen” rather than experts, fueling the anti-vaccine movement that is behind current measles outbreaks.
Reid added, “Trump didn’t want to deal with a public health catastrophe. He didn’t want to take the blame or get bad press. So instead, he spent months pushing crack science, taking advice from snake oil salesmen instead of public health experts. He mainstreamed the anti-vax movement which is going so strong today that we are facing measles outbreaks among unvaccinated children.”
