“200 million deaths in America due to crown” Biden makes another mistake

On the 20th (local time) it was rumored that the Democratic presidential candidate of the United States, Joe Biden, incorrectly stated that the number of deaths from the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in the United States was “ 200 million ” .

Biden reportedly said during a Democratic presidential campaign speech held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that day, “If President Donald Trump were the way he is now, 200 million people (Americans) would have died when I finished this speech.” Fox News noted that the US population is roughly 328 million, and if 200 million people die, that’s two-thirds of the population.

As of today, the number of American deaths from Corona 19 was 199,000. It is estimated that candidate Biden misrepresented 200 million people who should say that the death toll is approaching 200,000.

Candidate Biden made a similar mistake last June, saying that Corona 19’s death toll in the United States reached 120 million. Candidate Biden said at the time: “People have lost their jobs and don’t know where to go or what to do,” he said. “We lost 120 million people to the crown.” In response, President Trump insisted that aging candidate Biden should undergo cognitive ability tests.

Candidate Biden forgot his score due to frequent errors in speech even in favorable governments, such as the spread of Corona 19, wildfires in the west and various President Trump scandals.

In particular, he spoke several times about blacks, the traditional supporters of the Democratic Party. In an interview on a radio broadcast in May, he said: “If you have trouble thinking whether to support me or Trump, you are not black.” In a video interview with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) and the Association of Hispanic Journalists (NASJ) last month, “Unlike the African American community, the Latin American community has a wide variety of attitudes on many issues.” Black society is a statement that can be interpreted to mean that it does not have diverse attitudes.

Sanders “lack of political clarity”

Candidate Biden also gives the impression of being dragged along by President Trump. President Trump’s hardline policy toward China emerged from the background of American society and opened up a hardline theory about China.

There is also a backlash from various ideological camps within the Democratic Party. According to The Hill and The Washington Post (WP), Senator Bernie Sanders recently expressed concern about Biden’s campaign strategy and publicly called for a greater commitment to attracting progressive voters.

In an interview, Senator Sanders said: “It is clear that many Latinos and Africans will not vote for Trump, but they cannot vote,” he said. “How to get them to the polls is the key.”
