On Wednesday morning, Democrat President Joe Biden laughed at the idea he should take any responsibility for the COVID-19 deaths that have occurred since he took office in January.
A reporter asked Biden, “800,000 coronavirus deaths — do you have a statement on your responsibility? And why haven’t you asked China to do more, to be transparent on the origins?”
As seen in the video below, Biden listened and then smiled, laughed, and walked away without answering either question:

However, during an NBC Town Hall in October 2020, then-presidential candidate Biden said that former President Trump is responsible for the Americans who died from COVID-19 and that he should take responsibility. Biden posted the video clip from the Town Hall on Facebook with the caption, “More than 200,000 Americans have died. 50,000 Americans are getting the virus every day. 1,000 a day are dying. This is a national emergency…The President should take responsibility.”

It should be noted that since Biden’s inauguration nearly 400,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, despite Biden’s repeated promises that he would “shut down” the virus if elected.
As Fox News reported, “Biden routinely promised on the campaign trail that he would ‘shut down’ the virus if elected. Biden regularly asserted that it was former President Trump’s ‘ineptitude’ that ‘caused the country to have to shut down in large part,’ and assured voters that his administration would take care of the pandemic more efficiently.”
