Biden Has 1-Word Response To Trump's Insult That He'll 'Listen To The Scientists'

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Former Vice President Joe Biden on Monday shot back at President Donald Trump’s scornful take on how he’d approach the COVID-19 pandemic if elected president. In a blistering speech, the president said his Democratic opponent would “surrender your future to the virus.” “He’s going to lock down,” Trump told a crowd of about 5,000 supporters, most of whom were unmasked. He’ll listen to the scientists.” “If I listened totally to the scientists, we would right now have a country that would be in a massive depression, instead of, we’re like a rocket ship,” the president added. “Take a look at the numbers.” Biden needed just one word to react to the jab: “Yes.” Coronavirus infections have surged by almost 17% across the country, with numbers increasing in 38 states and Washington, D.C. To date, the U.S. has the highest COVID-19 case count and death toll of any country in the world.
