Internet calls Joe Biden demented as he mocks Donald Trump's 'inject bleach' remark to cure Covid-19

WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden derided his Republican Party opponent while delivering a speech on Tuesday, May 14, at the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) gala.

The 81-year-old took a shot again at former president Donald Trump while offering a list of policy initiatives, claiming Trump personally called Republicans to kill a bipartisan border agreement earlier this year.

Joe Biden calls Donald Trump a 'loser'

"That bipartisan bill has majority support in the House and Senate. But I was told, that other guy, that loser," Biden told the guests to a round of laughter, continuing, "I think he’s having trouble."

"Trump called Republicans to block that Senate bill, got on the phone and said it’d be a win for Biden and a loser for him, so they have to make sure you don’t allow it to get to a vote," he added, per Fox News.

The 77-year-old claimed the bill was a Trojan Horse for unrelated spending. He further added that Biden already possessed the necessary executive powers to end the crisis without further legislation.

"The so-called border security deal Biden is gushing out and pushing out is not designed to stop illegal immigration," the Republican claimed. "It's designed to continue the invasion of America while sending billions of dollars to Ukraine and other countries."

Joe Biden on Donald Trump's 'inject bleach' remark during Covid-19 pandemic

Later in the speech, Biden returned to talking about his GOP rival in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Biden claimed Trump had encouraged the US public to "inject bleach" to cure the disease.

"Look, I’ll never forget him lying about the pandemic, telling Americans to inject bleach into their skin," Biden said Tuesday. "I wonder if he did it. It might explain something."

Trump referenced an unspecified "disinfectant" that he was learning about which could be injected to combat coronavirus.

"I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning?" the then-president said. "As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

Trump never mentioned bleach, and later clarified, "It wouldn’t be through injections — almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object."

Donald Trump accepts Joe Biden's debate offer on national television

Former president Trump accepted President Biden's offer to debate him on television in June and September, per the outlet.

Biden said in a post on X that he "received and accepted an invitation" from CNN for a debate on June 27 soon after Trump declared his availability for the highly anticipated verbal battle. "Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place," Biden wrote.

When asked for a response, the business mogul told Fox News that he will accept and "will be there." The Republican added that he is "looking forward to being in beautiful Atlanta."

The proposal was initially outlined by the Biden-Harris campaign in a letter to the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates on Wednesday morning, May 15. It ended the decades-old tradition of three fall meetings organized by the debate commission. 

Trump later told the outlet that he'd accept the timeline proposed by the Democrat. "Crooked Joe Biden is the worst debater I have ever faced – he can't put two sentences together," Trump said. "Crooked is also the worst president in the history of the United States, by far." 

The former president further told the outlet that "it is time for a debate to take place – even if it has to be held through the offices of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which are totally controlled by Democrats and who, as people remember, got caught cheating with me with debate sound levels."

"I'm ready to go," Trump said. "The dates that they proposed are fine. Anywhere. Anytime. Any place. Let's see if Joe can make it to the stand-up podium." "The proposed June and early September dates are fully acceptable to me," Trump told Fox News. "I will provide my own transportation."

Internet says Joe Biden is lying about Donald Trump's bleach-injecting statement

Netizens didn't take long to criticize Joe Biden after he lashed out at Donald Trump during his latest speech.

One user questioned, "He's still repeating that lie? I mean, I watched that press conference, Trump was speaking about an experimental UV treatment, it had nothing to do with injecting bleach and Biden should know this. But does he even know what day it is?" 

Another wrote, "Biden has dementia", while one added, "And yet, it is he who is losing."

"Lol Thats funny he called trump a loser hahahahahah," commented one. "Biden has no idea what he's in for," said another one. "I injected bleach and i feel fine #maga" tweeted one.
