Clinton suggested that had the Trump administration done a better job
of controlling the pandemic, unemployment would be lower than it is
today.
However, Clinton conveniently left out that Democrats,
including Joe Biden, demanded early in the pandemic that governments
close economies across the country. The coronavirus did not force
businesses to close—government bureaucrats did.
Further, many of
the states with the highest COVID-19 death tolls are led by members of
the Democratic Party, like Andrew Cuomo in New York, and none of them
are controlled directly by President Trump, who can in most instances do
nothing more than issue suggested guidelines for states to follow.
Clinton
also failed to mention that Democrats are the ones who have insisted
the United States pursue policies that discourage people from returning
to work, like paying unemployed Americans more money to stay home than
they earned when they had jobs. Or a radical plan put forward by Kamala
Harris, Biden’s choice for vice president, that would send Americans $2,000 per month until the pandemic ends, plus an additional three months.
These
policies, more than any others, are responsible for the unemployment
rate remaining higher than it ought to be. If Democrats really want
people to go back to work, then they should stop calling for workers to
continue being paid to stay home.
In
one of the most outrageously dishonest moments of the night, a video
promoting Biden alleged that Trump, despite the public health crisis
caused by the coronavirus, is “still trying to get rid of the Affordable
Care Act” and “take … health care away” from Americans at risk.
Although
it’s true that President Trump has continued to call for the
elimination of the ACA and is fighting in court to have much of the law
struck down because, according to the administration, it’s
unconstitutional, Trump has repeatedly said ObamaCare should be replaced
with something better, not merely eliminated.
The examples of misinformation listed above are just the tip of the iceberg.
In
one presentation after another, Democrats showed on Tuesday night that
they are not interested in providing voters with a positive vision for
the future of the United States—or even just telling the truth.
Their
election strategy for 2020 is simple: Say and do anything possible to
beat Donald Trump, regardless of how dishonest they must be to
accomplish their goal.
