In the run-up to the 2020 election, Joe Biden blamed then-President Donald Trump for the COVID-19 death toll — and not just excess deaths, but for every single person who died with COVID.
“If the president had done his job, had done his job from the beginning, all the people would still be alive. All the people — I’m not making this up. Just look at the data. Look at the data,” Biden intoned to a pliant Anderson Cooper. “How many of you got up this morning and had an empty chair at the table because someone died of COVID-19?”
The Democratic National Committee likewise stood on the graves of those killed by COVID-19 to score political points, even featuring at Democrats’ 2020 convention the daughter of a man killed by the virus. Leftist pundits and propagandists posing as journalists also pushed the narrative that the deaths of loved ones across America lay at Trump’s feet.
Now that a Democrat resides in the White House, however, the politicization of COVID-19 deaths has ceased, even with more than 80,000 Americans reported as dying with the virus since President Biden’s inauguration. Instead, the left is now accusing the GOP of “weaponizing pandemic-exhausted parents against Biden.”
