GOP takes a potent but risky new path: Hitting Biden on Covid

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Republicans are edging toward harder hits at President Joe Biden while he struggles to contain Covid's Omicron variant. Just don't expect it to become a centerpiece of their midterm-election messaging.

That's in part because the GOP has to walk a fine line on the pandemic — thanks to Donald Trump.

After Biden and Democrats campaigned on a vow to help steer a virus-weary nation back to normalcy, arguing that the GOP failed to quickly respond when Covid first descended, Republicans now say Biden has proven himself unprepared to deal with the Omicron surge. It's an argument that Republicans are eager to fling back at the White House after more than a year on the back foot, accusing Biden's party of politically weaponizing Covid against them.

"President Biden's learned a valuable lesson: Be careful who you criticize and what you criticize them for, because it may come back to you," Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) said.

Oh please proceed fuckheads. You've given us a treasure trove of stuff to use against you such as fake cures and opposition to vaccines and personal protective gear.

1. Nothing new . ....

they can't legislate.

2. Utterly insane

It's like a toddler blaming adults for not cleaning up the toys they are pulling right back out flinging back on to the floor.


Hopefully, people won't buy it but somehow I just can't feel confident that too many won't.

3. Sadly this will work with just enough swing voters

It’s the Karl Rove strategy of rather than attacking your opponents weakness, attack their strength. With a complicit media, there seems to to be no defense against massive Republican lying.

4. It's a good political strategy

Considering his poll numbers are so low mostly due to him "failing to make COVID go away."

7. Yep, and omicron is not going to be the end of it.

5. We are anticipating a peak in a couple weeks, then a leveling off

Republicans will fail.

6. Never underestimate the stupidity of Republican voters. They vote for the billionaire entertainment.

8. I suspect they will probably use his frequent campaign statements against him

I think it is pretty certain we will see the Repubs run TV commercials with President Biden saying again & again, "I'm not going to shut down the economy, I'm going to shut down the virus"

Hopefully it starts to fade away by mid term time

9. Democrats have ton of material on that.

Only one person died it will be over by April. Inject bleach. Stick an ultraviolet lamp up your arse. It's a Democrat hoax. It's no worse than the flu.....
