I don’t know if you saw it, but Joe Biden sat down with 60 Minutes for a softball interview… and he still screwed it up. At one point, he almost started www 3 with China (again), and the White House Handlers had to grab their mops and clean it up. Nothing new for that janitorial crew, right? But it’s what he said about the pandemic that really got everyone on Team Joe in a lather. Biden was walking around the Detroit Auto Show with the CBS reporter and he announced that the pandemic was over.
Huh? What?
I mean, for most normal Americans, the pandemic was over eons ago. People in Florida have been living their normal life for God knows how long by now. But the announcement caught the Swamp off guard. Not to mention Biden’s radical base of white liberal Karens, who are literally worshiping at the altar of COVID with their masks and sanitizer and Fauci candles. These rich white liberals LOVE the tyrannical rules that you have to follow. They probably won’t follow them, but you have to, and that’s fun for them, so they didn’t want to stop this COVID gravy train.
But it was his Handlers who were the most freaked about what Joe said, and they literally grabbed their mops and BOLTED for the door. They had to clean this one up quickly.
Why?
What’s the big deal, most people are back to normal by now, even a lot of blue states…
Well, I’ll tell you why: Emergency Powers.
That’s the point a writer for National Review made in an article (that’s behind a paywall or I’d link it). He says the powers that the left gets from this “pandemic” are way too good to pass up. That’s why they came out so fast to put the breaks on what Joe said.
Charles C.W. Cooke said this in a tweet: “The reason Biden’s staff keeps contradicting him on the pandemic is that they understand all too well that the emergency powers that the pandemic conveys (or can be said to convey) are pretty much all they’ve got going for them.”

One other thing the article points out is that Joe Biden still has two miserable years left, and he needs this pandemic.
Without it, he’s not the “hero” and “champion” of anything. And yes, we all know he screwed COVID up beyond belief, but his people can still lie and spin a lot of victories out of it.
When that goes away, Joe will be left with nothing.
