Democrats livid over GOP's COVID-19 attacks on Biden

Democrats are up in arms this month over GOP charges that President Biden is to blame for the prolonged COVID-19 crisis.
They argue that Republicans, from former President Trump to his most vocal allies in Congress and in state capitals, bear plenty of responsibility for public resistance to masks and vaccines, noting the opposition to those leading mitigation efforts comes overwhelmingly from the right.
The criticism of masks and vaccines has sabotaged Biden’s efforts to get the nation past the pandemic, some argue.
“They've done everything possible to ensure that we can't get past it," Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) said of the Republicans. "They've fought mask requirements, vaccine requirements. They've spread misinformation. They have amplified dangerous conspiracy theories.
“There is one group to blame in this country for the continued spread of COVID,” she added, “and that's those actors who have done each and every one of those things.”
