CORONAVIRUS/JOE BIDEN/NEW ZEALAND: “Now Biden wants to lock all Americans in their basement for months on end which would inflict permanent irreversible harm on our nation’s children, families, health and economy…
Now all of a sudden a lot of the places that they were using to hold up, they’re having a big [coronavirus] surge, and I don’t want that, I don’t want that, but they were holding up names of countries and now they’re saying, ‘Whoops.’
In fact, even New Zealand, you see what’s going on in New Zealand? They beat it, they beat it. It was like front page, they beat it because they wanted to show me something. The problem is, big surge in New Zealand. So you know, it’s terrible. We don’t want that but this is an invisible enemy that should have never been let to come to this country, to Europe or the rest of the world by China. Just remember it. Just remember it.”
