THE TONE DEAF DEMOCRATIC DEBATE, PRESIDENT TRUMP’S BOLD LEADERSHIP, DEMS POLITICIZE THE CORONAVIRUS
Last night’s debate proved Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are two sides of the same extreme coin:
- Biden repeatedly touted his and Obama’s response to the swine flu, but the facts show that Biden completely mishandled that response:
- As Vice President during the 2009 swine flu outbreak, Biden ignored the advice of scientists and made reckless comments that caused mass hysteria.
- The Obama White House had to immediately issue an apology for Joe Biden’s remarks and the alarm he caused.
- Bernie Sanders is using the coronavirus outbreak to push his radical socialist agenda:
- Sanders has taken advantage of the crisis to argue for “Medicare for All.”
- Bernie’s Medicare for All plan, and Biden’s public option plan, would place thousands of rural hospitals at risk of closure.
- Both Biden and Sanders’ plans would kick 180 million Americans off their private health insurance plans, dramatically raise taxes, and force Americans to pay for health care for illegal immigrants.
- Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are committed to raising taxes on all Americans and destroying our economy.
- Joe Biden is a giant hypocrite on campaign finance reform:
- Biden wants a constitutional amendment to publicly fund elections, but his campaign is funded by millions of dollars from Super PACS.
- Joe Biden is an open borders extremist:
- Biden supports unconstitutional sanctuary cities, proudly saying undocumented immigrants arrested by local police should not be turned over to immigration officials.
- Joe Biden promised that in his first 100 days, no one will be deported.
- Joe Biden once again lied about his record of trying to cut entitlements:
- Joe Biden called for cuts to social security for years while serving in the United States Senate.
- Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders proudly defended their lifelong commitment to pro-abortion policies—showing zero concern for the millions of unborn lives that have been killed as a result.
- Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders’ energy policies will ruin American energy independence and cost thousands of American jobs.
- Joe Biden proudly promised no more and no new fracking.
- Joe Biden said he supports taking millions of automobiles off the road.
- Joe Biden defended Obama’s comments praising the Cuban dictatorship’s progress on education and healthcare.
- Joe Biden said he’d compare his foreign policy record against Bernie Sanders any day of the week.
- Obama’s Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Biden has been wrong on nearly every foreign policy issue over the last 40 years.
- Joe Biden once again lied about his adamant support for the war in Iraq that costed thousands of precious American lives and trillions of dollars.
