Former Vice President Joe Biden slammed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Tuesday, accusing him of spreading "malarkey" about the Obama administration's preparation for pandemics like the coronavirus outbreak.
"Clearly, the Obama administration did not leave to this administration any kind of game plan for something like this," McConnell said during an interview Monday night with Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law. Later in the interview, he seemed to address Obama directly, saying, "you had your shot, you were there for eight years."
"This is a bunch of malarkey and you know it, @senatemajldr," Biden tweeted above a link to the interview. "We left a 69-page playbook on how to fight pandemics."
Biden was referring to a 69-page document compiled in 2016 by the National Security Council (NSC). According to Politico, which reported on the document in March, the Obama administration created the playbook as a way to prevent a repeat of perceived mistakes by world leaders during the 2014-15 ebola outbreak.

The Obama transition team spent months and thousands of man hours preparing to hand the government over to either Hillary or dotard and it was all for naught with dotard. He knows nothing about the subject matter and never cared to learn. His ignorance has resulted in massive and unnecessary loss of life.
