Joe Biden held a “virtual roundtable” on Thursday afternoon after fellow Democrats begged him to come out of the basement and speak to the people.
Biden, who reportedly suffers from senile dementia, struggled badly while trying to discuss the coronavirus.
The roundtable featured Biden along with embattled Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, discussing the coronavirus pandemic.
When it was Biden’s turn to talk, the 77-year-old struggled while trying to read off a teleprompter. He said more than 85,000 jobs have been lost and millions of people have died from the coronavirus. The numbers should have been the other way around.
It was sad to watch.
“We’re … in the middle of a pandemic that has cost us more than 85,000 jobs as of today. Lives of millions of people. Millions of people. Millions of jobs. You know, and we’re in a position where, you know we just got new unemployment insurance, this morning, uh, numbers — 36.5 million claims since this crisis began.”
President Donald Trump — who has no pity for Biden’s mental decline — belittled the former vice president on Thursday.
Trump said, “Joe has absolutely no idea what’s happening… He doesn’t know he’s alive.”
OMG. this is really getting painful!
