    President Biden claimed at one point during a CNN town hall on Tuesday that his administration came into office with no coronavirus vaccines available.

    Biden received his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on December 21, and the second dose in January.

    https://news.yahoo.com/biden-claims-didn-t-covid-131245718.html

    Some people say we should not pick on Joe for these missteps as they are all about his speech impediment. I am thinking this is more about a brain impediment. Sad that the American people elect a person to the Office of the President that lacks comprehension in reality!

    And please don't give me your response about Trump. Let's talk about this issue now instead of what Trump was or Trump is. This isn't about Trump!!!

    It is about Joe Biden!

    I read the transcript of Biden's town hall - I couldn't find him saying what you claim he said - could you take a second and fact
    check your post and show the proof of your claim? Thank you.

    In the link posted by Vote 4, there's a video of Biden making the below claim.

    "It’s one thing to have the vaccine, which we didn’t have when we came into office, but” one also needs “a vaccinator,” Biden subsequently told Cooper, when asked about the logistics of getting shots to Americans.

    ^That Was TRUMP.

    I thought this thread was about Biden?

    Anyway, On-Topic, as to the Biden statement referred to in the OP?

    It seems that he meant to say "when we were elected",

    And, so what? He made a mistake.


    In any event, Biden would need (at least) a Million More "Covfefe Moments", to even scratch the surface of Trump's Ineptitude.

    Trump suggests 'injection' of disinfectant to beat coronavirus and 'clean' the lungs



    ^Uncle Joe has quite a bar to clear, to get anywhere near the same galaxy as that Uninformed IMBECILE Trump.

    According to the CDC, over 10 million people were vaccinated under Trump's administration before Joe took office...

    He and Kamala both lied. MSM ignores it. Par for the course.

    To Biden, it's probably not an actual lie, he just doesn't remember that far back.

    Given the full context of the exchange, that we had run out of vaccine when Biden took office, I'm going to put this
    one down to clumsy speech rather than him actually claiming that the vaccine didn't exist at all. But whatever, have
    your little "moment".

    Biden might have been referring to vaccine reserves, as opposed to the total amounts of vaccines that had been delivered or had been administered.

    He told Cooper about a minute prior: "We got into office and found out the supply…there was nothing in the refrigerator, figuratively and literally speaking. And there were 10 million doses a day that were available."

    Yah, probably just inarticulate.

    He said the refrigerator was empty! It is either a bold face lie or a clueless statement because it wasn't true at all!

    Harris Tweeted something about there being no vaccine or plan for the virus under Trump. Old Fauci Tweets then resurfaced saying Trump was doing a lot and what was expected. Fauci's Tweets then got deleted/removed.

    So Biden's lies are just mistakes? I guess when you have dementia that is a valid excuse.

    And it's so damn hilarious that you use the most distorted and blatantly taken out of context quote from trump to try to prove a point.

    As usual, you don't have a leg to stand on in this argument (not that you ever do).

    Biden is a disaster.....you will never admit it no matter what he does so just move on to your next trump hating post. Clearly Trump takes up 98% of your thoughts anyway.....you should be able to come up with something.

    What he said was there no stockpiles or huge advance orders. The prior administration had promised 20 million vaccinated by the end of December when in fact they only inoculated about 5 million and did not have the vaccine to do 20 million. Operation Warp Speed was in reality operation crock of bullshit. Biden has ordered 200 million doses by the end of July

    Of course, his lies are just mistakes.

    In the future, you may want to consider laying off the personal attacks (directed at a fellow poster), and express your "opinion" in a respectful and mature manner.

    When replying to a post, your own post must be about the post to which you are replying, not the poster themselves.

    ^Nothing personal (of course), just a friendly suggestion going forward.:salute:

    As far as Biden (and the actual OP Topic)?

    (And, please take note of the fact that I can express a dissenting opinion in a mature, non-insulting manner (and within the rules)).

    It really doesn't matter what anybody (who never liked Biden to begin with) thinks about Biden.

    Barring anything unforeseen, Biden will be the President for (at least) the Next 4 Years.

    Whether Biden is "forgetful" has "senior moments" or if he is "Weekend at Bernies", people are just going to have to come to grips with the FACT that Biden WON (Fair and Square) and stop freaking out over every little "Lookie Here! Uncle Joe!" moment.

    As far as the statement in the OP?

    It is clear that Biden misspoke and meant to say "when we were elected".
    End of story.

    lol... you nailed it.

    He also said during the Townhall that Blacks and Hispanics were not capable of using the internet. Don't mind the lies about the vaccine or the racism, I heard he beat his Grand Daughter at Mario Karts!

    You act as if every post from any righty on here is absolute garbage, fake outrage, meaningless, etc and should never have been said in the first place. On a forum meant for discussion, I can't really think of anything more disrespectful than that. It may not be a personal attack in that it's not direct name calling, but it's about as insulting towards someone as you could possibly be and I consider that a personal attack. If you want people to treat what you say as worthwhile, then you should not be so dismissive of what they say as well.

    Yea I know, his lies are just mistakes. You took that same attitude with trump right?

    JFC....

    Biden was not saying that we didn't have literal vaccine, he was saying that we didn't have enough doses for it to matter. Stevie Wonder can see that from the transcript

    Where's the quote?
    I think you are not posting the truth here.

    But give us the quote and show us.

    NO that is NOT what he said and we were vaccinating almost a MILLION a day when he took office. The man is losing his mind and can't remember simple facts like he had received TWO doses of a vaccine he said we didn't have. We should all be concerned and even urging his cabinet, if the Dems can ever get around to confirming them instead of impeaching Trump again, to invoke the 25th he should not be in charge he can't deal with reality.

    Obviously, you have indicated a major misunderstanding of the Rules of Personal Engagement on this Forum.

    Beyond that, your off-topic remarks don't warrant any further response.

    As far as the (what I gather was an attempt at an) On-Topic "contribution"?

    "You took that same attitude with trump right?"

    ^NO. I Didn't.

    Glad to be of service in clearing that up.

    Wait, so now the cons want to take what people said literal? When did this start? After their beloved Trump got his ass kicked by Ole pervy Joe?

    Side note, I LOVE all the salt in this thread. These next 4 years are gonna be a blast! LOL
