When asked if he had any concerns about his performance, the president said, “No it’s hard to debate a liar, New York Times pointed out how he lied 26 times. Big lies.”
Biden was then asked if he was suffering from a cold, which the campaign revealed following the debate performance where many expressed concerns about the sound of Biden’s voice.
“I am sick,” Biden said.
Man, it’s a SHAME Joe Biden is in a crowded @WaffleHouse [3] giving his cold to everybody, huh???🤣🤣🤣🤣
