Joe Biden is out on the West Coast to campaign.
But unfortunately, even out there, he's still Joe Biden so you know falsehoods and unbelievable tales will follow.
At a private fundraiser in Portola Valley, Biden tried to attack former President Donald Trump. But he did so with a debunked hoax.
"Remember him saying the best thing to do is just inject a little bleach in your arm? That’s what he said. And he meant it. I wish he had done a little bit himself," Biden said.
That's despicable that he's wishing ill on his opponent. Talk about breaking norms.
Then, of course, former President Donald Trump never said any such thing. Yet, Biden keeps spreading versions of this lie and he doesn't seem to give a darn about the truth.
While Reuters covered what Biden said, they didn't call out the Biden hoax. In fact, they seemed to back it up with what they said.
President Joe Biden joked on Friday that he wished former President Donald Trump had injected himself with a little bleach, resurrecting one of Trump's more head-scratching moments from the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. [....]
During the early months of the pandemic in 2020, Trump said that an “injection inside” the human body with a disinfectant like bleach or isopropyl alcohol could help protect against the virus.
No, Reuters, that's not what he said. He was talking about the research being done with ultraviolet light and how that worked like a disinfectant. He was talking about interesting scientific research, not suggesting people inject bleach, and anything would have to "have to use medical doctors."
So, I’m going to ask Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing when we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.
He then went on to say:
Trump then clarified his remarks: “It wouldn’t be through injections, you’re talking about almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big affect if it’s on a stationary object.”
So Reuters not only didn't do its job of fact-checking Biden's lie but they appeared to continue it.
On top of that, while they concentrated on the hoax, Biden made a huge mistake referring to Kim Jong Un as the leader of South Korea, when he tried to attack Trump. But Joe only exposed how confused he was, "I'll never forget his love letters for South Korean President Kim Jong Un.”
How bad is it when Biden can't even keep basic information that Kim Jong Un is the leader of North Korea straight in his head? He's actually met the South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol multiple times. He previously mistakenly called him President "Loon." That must have gone over well when he did that. The South Koreans must think Biden is completely out of his mind at this point -- and unfortunately they would be right.
