(CNN) — President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, according to the president and CEO of UnidosUS Janet Murguía.

Biden was expected to speak at the group’s conference in Las Vegas Wednesday night.

I was just on the phone with President Biden. And he shared his deep disappointment at not being able to join us this afternoon. The president has been at many events as we all know and he just tested positive for Covid

Murguía told attendees.

Biden, 81, had been scheduled to take the stage an hour and a half prior.

CNN has reached out to the Biden campaign and the White House for comment.

lol i saw footage of biden walking on air force one after the covid announcement and he didnt have a mask on. hes about to infect a bunch of ppl on that plane

[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 123 points 4 months ago (7 children)

brump strikes again

Remember when all the libs were aghast at Trump making the secret service take him out for a joy ride to wave at the hogs while he was staying at Walter Reed? "How dare he make them breathe the same air while he's infected!"

Man, I hope they give Biden the steroid cocktail they had Trump on when he had covid though. It's either gonna make his heart explode, or we'll get manic gakked up Joe turn into E1 Biden IRL

[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 57 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I worked on the trial for that monoclonal they gave Trump. Almost positive it was no better than placebo for elderly people, so he really survived that with only his diaped up slushie ass and the entire staff of Walter Reed.

he doesn’t have covid, you don’t make people wait 90 minutes for that announcement. they’re making shit up because they tried to get him coherent for over an hour and nothing was working.

biden's doctor giving him hundreds of covid tests until one of them gives a false positive so he can diagnose without losing their license

He was already an hour late to his big boy press conference. The time and effort required to induce lucidity is getting longer and longer

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 50 points 4 months ago

and they’ve probably got a whole team coming up with excuses like his grandmother just passed away or the parliamentarian said he can’t come out on stage today

[–] amberSuperMario@lemmygrad.ml 45 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It seems unlikely to me that they’d use covid as the excuse considering how hard they try to pretend that the pandemic is over and that Biden defeated it

Holy shit the poetic justice if this actually does him in. Biden’s admin pretending Covid is over directly led to my mom’s death, I can’t think of a funnier and more fitting way for him to go

Who knows, they only notified the event 90mins after he was supposed to be on stage. Might just be hunter doing scheduling AND excuses.

Biden's trusted family doctor, a 19th century camp physician referred to by Biden as a "sawbones" is treating him by transfusing the President with "heroic saxon blood". He does not know about blood groups.

Alright, I'm done. This is just too much. Will see you guys in November.

Yep. Going to my tree fort and pulling up the ladder.

Reading the ugly comments here, I’m wondering if the MAGA crowd might be less despicable. Way to lower the bar!

r/Politics panic is top tier che-smile
