Voter confidence in President Donald Trump has suffered since the beginning of the pandemic. The GOP has employed a number of tactics to try to shore up their candidates chances in November.

But Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel's Sunday tweet had people astounded at the absurdity of her defense of Trump's oft-criticized pandemic response.


Sharing a video from ABC News' This Week with George Stephanopoulos, MCDaniel—who is the niece of Trump critic Mitt Romney—posted:

" Joe Biden can't run from his disastrous record responding to the coronavirus."
"The truth hurts, Joe!"

In the clip McDaniel shared, Stephanopoulos asked Biden senior adviser Symone Sanders about comments the Democratic candidate made during the early days of the pandemic.

However the interview wasn't the Biden takedown McDaniel hoped for. Sanders' response was more of a shot at Trump than the former Vice President.

Sanders said:

"In January and February, Joe Biden was not being briefed by national security experts who warned him how deadly the virus was."

Left out of McDaniel's clip was Sanders saying:

"In January and February, Joe Biden did not have the knowledge that President Trump did."
"But I will tell you, that if Joe Biden were President ... he would have taken proper precautions. He would have warned the American people."

People on Twitter also called out Trump and McDaniel.










As of Monday, September 14, the 2020 presidential election is 49 days away.

Musk Offers Thinly-Veiled Threat After Trump Tells Reporters He's Mulling Over Deporting Him

Billionaire Elon Musk offered a thinly-veiled threat to President Donald Trump after Trump told reporters he is mulling over deporting him amid their feud over the president's One Big Beautiful Bill, which Musk opposes because the package's $3 trillion price tag is diametrically opposed to his prior efforts to slash federal spending.

The bill, Republicans say, will pay for itself in large part due to cuts to healthcare and food assistance programs that Vice President JD Vance has described as "immaterial." But Musk earlier said he will work to unseat any Republicans who've supported "the biggest debt increase in history."

JD Vance Gets Perfectly Shamed After Claiming Medicaid Cuts In Budget Bill Are 'Immaterial'

Critics slammed Vice President JD Vance after he claimed that the "minutiae of the Medicaid policy" in President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," are "immaterial" to the millions of Americans who would lose their healthcare coverage if it were to become law.

According to The Washington Post, the bill "includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending." WaPo noted that the $3 trillion package "partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps SNAP), which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud."
