Former Vice President Joe Biden continued his gaffe-filled campaign this week; rambling through a series of questions on social media when asked to comment on paid sick leave during the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Workers don’t have to leave work to get, to be fired, in order when they get sick to be able to continue to live!” said Biden.
Biden just doesn’t make sense anymore.

Biden made similar comments last week; suggesting more than 600,00 Americans have died from the virus.
“Over 600,000 dead. Many are workers, nurses, doctors, because they have put themselves in a position to save other people’s lives and protect the rest of society. We talk about that number, 600-plus thousand people… 60? 60-thousand, I misspoke.

BERNIE on VIRUS: Federal Government Must ‘Eradicate Hunger and Poverty’ During Pandemic
Far-left Senator Bernie Sanders doubled-down on his demand for new massive entitlement programs during the Coronavirus pandemic over the weekend; saying the federal government must “eradicate hunger and poverty.”
“Even before this pandemic, a majority of our workers lived paycheck to paycheck. 1 in 7 children didn’t get enough to eat. 40% couldn’t afford a $400 emergency. Let us learn from this crisis. Let us finally eradicate hunger and poverty in the richest country in human history,” posted Sanders on social media.

“If today we had the same level of inequality we had forty years ago, the bottom 90% of American households would be earning $12,000 more every year. $120,000 per decade. Do not tell me we cannot afford to cover the paychecks of every worker during this horrific pandemic,” he posted on social media.
