Biden has been largely silent during the coronavirus pandemic, but he finally came out of the shadows this week for a media junket as he attempts to criticize President Donald Trump for his response to the crisis. The results were not pretty, as Biden struggled to put basic thoughts together under light questioning.

Biden appeared on ABC’s “The View” on Monday where he said things about the coronavirus pandemic that made no sense.
“We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse no matter what. No matter what. We know what has to be done,” Biden said, struggling to maintain coherency.

“I tell you what. I’m so darn proud of those poor people who, of, lost, anyway,” Biden said while moaning in an exacerbated manner.”
