The 'Obamagate' diversion
By Maria Cardona, Opinion Contributor — 05/17/20 03:00 PM EDT

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump has failed to demonstrate any capacity to competently deal with this unprecedented public health crisis. The polls show that most Americans disapprove of how Trump has handled it so far. Polls also show that Americans would trust former vice president Joe Biden more than Trump to address COVID-19.

But instead of stepping up and fixing his botched response with a national science-based plan that would enable the country to open up gradually and safely, Trump and his team have gone all-in on an absurd conspiracy theory.

Afraid that COVID-19 will be Trump’s downfall, and that Biden is getting a leg up on him in the presidential campaign, Trump and his supporters have invented a mythical conspiracy out of thin air to distract from his leadership failure, and try to taint Biden — enter “Obamagate.”

If Hillary Clinton or Biden were president instead of Trump, we'd probably have two or three times the infections and deaths as we have now. They certainly would not have shut down travel from China and elsewhere as early as Trump did.
A thing a liberal fears the most is being called a racist. They would rather have a million people die from the virus than have the label of racist attached to themselves.
This clown probably wrote this column two months ago. I'll bet she has absolutely no idea what's going on.
If a majority of Americans really believe Biden would do a better job than Trump, as a nation we're sunk.
