Quote:A super PAC ad supporting 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden accused President Donald Trump of failure concerning the coronavirus pandemic.

The seven-figure ad, created by pro-Biden Unite the Country PAC, will reportedly run nationally on select broadcast and cable programs except for Fox News. “Crisis Comes” discusses past crises that the United States has experienced, referencing how former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan handled them.

“Crisis comes to every presidency — we don’t blame them for that,” the ad said. “What matters is how they handle it.”

“Donald Trump didn’t create the coronavirus, but he is the one who called hoax, who eliminated the pandemic response team, and who let the virus spread unchecked across America,” the ad continued. “Crisis comes to every president — this one failed.”

The ad accused Trump of calling “hoax” on the coronavirus, a debunked claim that has been highly disputed since POTUS compared Democratic criticism of the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak to Democratic efforts to impeach him.

“This is their new hoax,” the president said.

The ad avoids directly saying that Trump called the coronavirus a hoax, a false claim that Politifact rated “false” and that Biden himself has spread.

“Crisis Comes” accused Trump of eliminating the pandemic response team — a claim that is rated as true but also disputed among former National Security Council members.

Former National Security Council director Beth Cameron said in a Washington Post op-ed that Trump closed the office unnecessarily, but former NSC senior director for counter proliferation and biodefense Tim Morrison suggested Cameron’s argument is a Democratic political narrative.

“It is true that the Trump administration has seen fit to shrink the NSC staff. But the bloat that occurred under the previous administration clearly needed a correction,” he continued.

“One such move at the NSC was to create the counterproliferation and biodefense directorate, which was the result of consolidating three directorates into one, given the obvious overlap between arms control and nonproliferation, weapons of mass destruction terrorism, and global health and biodefense,” the former NSC senior director wrote in a Washington Post op-ed.

He added: “It is this reorganization that critics have misconstrued or intentionally misrepresented. If anything, the combined directorate was stronger because related expertise could be commingled.”

The ad also said the president has “let the virus spread unchecked across America.” But Biden’s own response to the pandemic is to encourage Americans to “listen to the doctors.”

“Listen to what they have to say,” Biden said Tuesday on ‘The View.’ “I would respectfully suggest that you should have Dr. [Anthony] Fauci on a lot more than the president — or anyone who’s not an expert like Fauci — laying out exactly what’s going on.”

Dr. Fauci has praised the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus crisis on multiple occasions, calling the Trump administration both “very positive” and “multifaceted.”

“What the president is trying to do is to balance the public health issues with the fact that this is having an enormous impact on the economy of the country, which may actually indirectly even cause a considerable amount of harm and difficultly, even health wise,” Fauci said during a Tuesday interivew on WMAL’s “Mornings on the Mall” with Mary Walter and Vince Coglianese.

He added: “So, it’s a delicate balancing act, which the president is trying to get it right, and we’re under very intense discussions right now about what the most appropriate timeline is and if we do modify it, how we modify it.”

Unite the Country PAC did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Super PAC is speaking for Biden. Surrogates are speaking for Biden. It is because Biden cannot put two complete sentences together before his mind is adrift and rambling on.

This is really dangerous territory for the Dems. One, is criticizing the battle while the battle is on. Second, is that it brings into question Biden's fitness for dealing with a crisis when he can't even handle a live reading of a teleprompter.

They’re just telling the truth about Trump’s complete lack of leadership and inability to rise to the occasion. Biden’s not my first choice, but he will be a much much better President than Trump.

Yeah well, Democrats hate America ...so nothing new

Lol...keep telling yourself that...

Third, they are lying. Trump did not eliminate the WH pandemic response team. It was restructured, but the personnel and function remained. Google "Tim Morrison and the WH pandemic response team."

And Trump didn't call the coronavirus a hoax. He called the Dems blaming him for it "another hoax."

Biden isn't going to make it to November.

I saw his latest video where he just stands in front of the camera in silence for an uncomfortable amount of time, his wife comes in to retrieve him, he for some reason thanks her, and then he remains at the podium for another uncomfortable amount of time before wandering off. He obviously had no idea what he was doing or where he even was, and I honestly feel bad for him.

If he is the nominee, which I increasingly doubt, Trump is going to pummel him. They should seriously call it off, and just name cuomo. Trump would still win, but at least it wouldn't be elder abuse.

He’s not just telling himself that. He’s here telling all of us he thinks that to be the case. Nothing like telling everyone that will listen that you are a complete fool.

We know...

Trump is a buffoon, he is constantly being contradicted by Fauci and the facts. Yep this is a democratic hoax, another impeachment . Had he acted quicker instead of claiming all was perfect we may not be where we are today, which is complete clusterfck.

Yeah. If he had not been such a “historical xenophobia” everything would be perfect. Again, everyone asks another genius poster how HE would have handled it in hindsight fashion. Give us your ten point plan. Maybe we write you in for president....

Oct. 2019 Johns Hopkins study shows U.S. was most prepared country in world to handle pandemic.

Biden being critical of anyone's handling of anything is just rich. I hope the Dems let him get savaged by Trump, they deserve it.

Only reason I don't have this as a 0% chance for Bernie is because Biden still is a ticking time bomb, and he now has a credible sexual assault allegation out there that can't be ignored forever. I am curious why Fox News hasn't mentioned this yet, but my guess is they are gonna save digging this up until the general starts for maximum effectiveness.

With all these critics of Trump popping out of the woodwork, why can't any of them detail what the POTUS should have done differently?

Because they don't know.

With the probability of a convention at this point being slim to none, why is the DNC bothering to wait for the inevitable railroading of Bernie? Are they hoping some governor comes out of this situation looking great to pair with Biden?
