April 05, 2020 Joe Biden Again Demonstrates He Has No Clue What is Going On

Once again, Joe Biden’s bluster reveals he is out to lunch and far behind President Trump's actions to combat the coronavirus.

Today, Biden bizarrely called for President Trump to “appoint a supply commander to coordinate critical materials.” The truth is that President Trump already did this – last month!

The Supply Chain Stabilization Task Force at FEMA is headed up by Rear Admiral John Polowczyk of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “He is working 24 hours a day, and is highly respected by everyone,” said President Trump.

Admiral Polowczyk said President Trump gave him one specific metric: “Get more to the hospitals for our healthcare workers.” And that’s what he is doing.

Admiral Polowczyk “is the best man that we have in the country for supplies and logistics,” said White House Senior Advisor Jared Kushner. “He’s built a team — really, at the direction of the Vice President — that includes people from FEMA, OMB, the FDA, HHS, the White House, and from everywhere else.”

As Vice President Mike Pence said on March 24, Admiral Polowczyk's “task force is working to identify medical supplies that exist in the marketplace today, to evaluate the National Stockpile, and also working with industries around the country to produce even more of the critical medical supplies.”

Biden’s ignorant, politically motivated sniping from the sidelines is an insult to Admiral Polowczyk and his team of supply chain experts and civil servants who are working around the clock to win the war against the coronavirus.

Instead of lobbing baseless criticisms that reveal just how little he understands about the situation, Biden should listen to the scientists and the doctors.

Without evidence, Biden today claimed that “we still aren’t making enough tests, especially rapid point-of-care tests.”

But this comes after Biden falsely accused the Trump Administration of not developing fast tests at all, and after Dr. Deborah Birx said this week that there are about 500,000 Abbott rapid point-of-care tests out in the states that have yet to be used.

Without evidence, Biden today claimed that “we don’t have enough personnel, or with enough protective gear, to administer tests.”

But the FDA already moved swiftly to approve self-swab tests, which are already being collected in clinics and at drive-through testing sites around the country. People being able to administer a test themselves relieves the burden on personnel and reduces the need for personal protective equipment (PPE).

What action that President Trump has already taken will Sleepy Joe Biden belatedly think of next?
