Help or 'get out of the way.' Biden criticizes Texas and Florida over COVID-19

a reply to: AaarghZombies

You are severely deluded. Seek help.

Here's Florida's response, and I personally feel the same way.

The problem is that the US government is so corrupt, so unaccountable, and so far indebt that they seem to be doing everything they can to force authoritarianism on the people, In what seems like an attempt to keep their system of control afloat.

I'm glad someone brought it up. It wasn't long ago everyone on ATS was saying that the President butting heads with state leaders was the sign of an alpha male and a strong leader.

Funny how quickly that tune has changed.

You mean, like standing up for what’s in the constitution?

Good thing to see when Biden supporters ignore the Release of Migrants (who desperately need medical help) into populated areas untreated and unvaccinated (especially with children). The Charities can't handle all the needs 😧

They're using the relocated, CV-positive illegals as 'Covid-Marias'.

U.S. Federal Government FAIL

Executive Branch DHS, HHS, AG FAIL FAIL FAIL 😵‍💫

It seems Biden admin is just pushing the wishes of Bill Gates dreams of a 100% vaccination rate. He doesnt want to have states that are near un vaccinated.

You talking about when Cuomo deliberately put the elderly at risk by forcing nursing homes to accept covid positive cases?

Well it happened, and the federal government kept to its place then.

Yep give the reason of the doubt to China biden, after all he has allowed 1 million illegals into the US infected and with not tracing.

Yep china biden cares soo much.

a reply to: xuenchen

I had no idea that china biden even have some resemblance of a brain to even come out and chastises Florida and Texas, I guess it was all by teleprompter and flash cards.

The china biden have no leg to stand on when it comes to covid and illegals flooding the nation per he and kalamari invitation.

Im sure other ATSers have pointed this out....but Biden is a hypocrite and idiot. The border issue, alone, tells you that the surge in covid is being sold as something it is not. Texans would really appreciate if he would do his damned job, and quit worrying about our governor. he sucks, but we are well aware that he sucks.

DeSantis response to this was essentially him wiping the heel of his boot with Bidens face.

It's not disgusting in the slightest, it shows strong leadership. He's being a president and doing what a president does. Leading from the front.

I just spit spicy kimchi ramen out of my nose at this.

That he isn't in the front is the actual problem. The border, where we have COVID infections coming into our country, was flung to his VP and forgotten about.

It's a time of national crisis when everybody should be pulling together, and yet here we are with states doing the exact opposite.

Yes....Biden is doing the exact opposite of what states want and being divisive. We need to pull together, but BIden keeps saying and doing stupid stuff that sane state leaders don't want to do. He needs to get with the program and follow the success of Florida, instead of beating the dead horse that began with "2 weeks to flatten the curve".

Look at it this way, if it were 2020 and the governor of New York were putting politics before people and was letting Covid run rampant through his state, what would Trump have done?

Would Trump have sat by on the sidelines and watched America burn, because he was afraid of confrontation, or would he have stood up and banged his shoe on the table like a gavel and demanded that the governor get his house in order?

Lucky for us, we get to see what Trump did when the nation was literally burning: nothing. Because he couldn't really do much. Worse: any offers for help were refused by governors and mayors that, to this day, haven't managed to get their epidemics of violence under control.

Maybe had Trump been the dictator everyone accused him of being he could have rolled into Portland and stopped police from being blinded. But he didn't. Because he couldn't. Same as Biden.

Kalamari dirty harris is now crying because people has been soo mean to her, she is goin to get an independent panel, to investigate why he ratings are soo low and people seem not to like her at all.

Yes is a joke,

"Hey, man! Use your states rights the way we tell you, or we'll make you do it".

As the battle lines for the 2022 election cycle begin to be drawn the Biden administration is becoming more aggressive in calling out Republicans to blame them for enabling covid cases in deaths in Republican states around the country.

For now the Biden Administration are stoping short of blaming deaths on directly on these Republicans; but we are still earlier in the election season.

Help or 'get out of the way.' Biden criticizes governors in Texas and Florida over handling of COVID-19

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden expressed frustration with Republican governors who are blocking local businesses and schools from implementing coronavirus mask and vaccine mandates as the highly contagious delta variant continues to overwhelm states across the country.

"Some governors aren’t willing to do the right things to make this happen. I say to these governors, please help. If you aren't going to help, at least get out of the way of the people who are trying to do the right thing. Use your power to save lives.

Asked if Abbott and DeSantis are personally making decisions that are hurting their own citizens, Biden said that it was clear to him and most of the medical experts that their decisions are "bad health policy." 

"The guidelines are pretty clear as it relates to the benefit of vaccination, as it relates to the benefit of masking for communities that are not vaccinated," she said. “If you’re not going to be part of the solution, if you’re not going to be part of saving people’s lives, then get out of the way and let other people do the job."

The biggest problem I have with this rhetoric comes when I give the president the benefit of the doubt that his opinions are correct on the matter.

Let's assume these Republican governors and states do need to be brought into the fold in order to save lives and beat the pandemic... how is it productive to so publicly and politically attack them? Such bad leadership from the Biden administration will have the exact opposite outcome then the stated goal. And the Biden administration is smart enough to know this. The Biden administration is willing to make more people sick just to score political points; its a bit disgusting.

What ever gave you the idea that Biden should have the benefit of the doubt? He is a ninny.

Biden should remove himself from office. For the good of the country he says he loves.

You can butt heads with state leaders all you want, they can tell you to go pound sand as well. I don't particularly care which president is doing it, there are certain rights the states have, you can argue and cajole all you'd like but if they don't want to do it there isn't a lot of recourse.
