When it comes to debating the coronavirus, Democrats are somehow never wrong — no matter what!
It’s heads, Democrats win; tails, Republicans lose.
What is it they say about the economy right now? Joe Biden at the debate last week said that Donald Trump would be “the first president of the United States to leave office having fewer jobs in his administration than when he became president.” That’s quite the attack, coming from the very person who said if elected president, he would indefinitely shut down the economy the moment a single scientist told him it was necessary to depress the spread of the coronavirus.
On the one hand, Democrats like Biden rave with enthusiasm about the importance of paralyzing economic activity to slow the spread of the virus. On the other hand, “Hey, did anyone notice how many jobs we lost when Trump advised states to shut down commerce? Boo!”
Somehow they’ve positioned themselves to take both sides of the same issue — and thus, they never lose!
What is it that Democrats say about taking the proper safety precautions to limit the spread of the virus? When the president tested positive for the virus last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the result was because “going into crowds, unmasked and all the rest, was sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen.”
And how many more of the 7.4 million-plus confirmed infections in the U.S. occurred because someone extended a “brazen invitation” to get sick? That number, by the way, includes plenty of Democrats. Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, contracted the coronavirus. Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam tested positive as well. Several House Democrats tested positive, including Reps. Jahana Hayes of Connecticut, Raul Grijalva of Arizona, Nydia Velazquez of New York, and Seth Moulton of Massachusetts.
What did they do wrong to get the virus? Actually, as Democrats tell it, they did nothing wrong. Getting the virus wasn’t their fault. It was the fault of someone else. Recall that when Arizona Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva tested positive, he blamed his Republican colleague in the House, Louie Gohmert of Texas.
But if a Republican gets sick, it’s his own fault for not following “the science.” If a Democrat gets sick, it’s someone else’s fault because someone else must not have followed “the science.”
Stunning! Somehow Democrats once again find themselves above all accountability because they put themselves on both sides of the issue!
Democrats pretend that they have all the solutions to ending the pandemic. They don’t, but rest assured that anything that happens won’t be their fault.
