Biden Hammers Trump For Letting First Responders Die Of Coronavirus
Former Vice President Joe Biden said that Trump could have fully invoked the Defense Production Act weeks ago, and because he hasn’t first responders are dying.
Biden said on CNN, “He still hasn’t fully invoked the Defense Production Act, which I called for a while ago. He finally did with General Motors after a little roundabout in terms of building ventilators. What about the masks? What about those gowns that nurses and doctors need? They’re made of paper. What about the goggles they need. The face shields they need. He could do that by the Defense Production Act right now. He could have done it yesterday. A week ago. Three weeks ago. Five weeks ago. They’re in short supply. And our first responders are literally risking & some losing their lives to try to help the American people.”

Will he find time in his busy schedule of alternately praising himself and whining to do it?

"his approval ratings."
"Ukraine"...?
Can't wait for the debate. Assuming, of course, that Cadet Bone Spurs does actually face off with Joe.
