GOP Hits Biden For Saying ‘There Is No Federal Solution’ to Covid

The Republican Party hit President Joe Biden on Monday over saying that “there is no federal solution” to combatting the coronavirus.

Biden made that remark during a meeting with governors amid the spike in Covid cases.

“BIDEN, TODAY: ‘There is no federal solution’ to COVID,” tweeted the Republican National Committee. “BIDEN, 2020: ‘I’m going to shut down the virus.’”

UPDATE [5:30]: Biden’s defenders pointed out that the clip the RNC shared had been edited in a misleading way that lacked context. Watch the full clip below.

The edited viral clip above is being captioned that Biden is quitting on dealing with covid and just throwing it to the states. This is a total lie. Here is what he actually said in context. pic.twitter.com/oe0vRS21Go
