Records Show Obama Admin Repeatedly Aimed to Cut CDC Funding, Despite Biden's Claims

Because this story paints the Obama administration in a negative light, there’s a fairly high chance it will never be reported by the MSM.

If you attack the Obama administration, you’re not only jabbing at Barack himself, but also the former vice president, Joe Biden, the man the left is counting on to succeed in November against Donald Trump.

The thing is, the truth needs to be out there for all to see.

From Fox News:

The Obama administration repeatedly sought to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), yearly budget requests show — seemingly undercutting former Vice President Joe Biden’s repeated attacks on the Trump White House for its pandemic preparedness.

Numerous Democrats, including Biden, have falsely claimed that Trump slashed the CDC budget, and Biden has suggested that he would never pursue similar cuts. The Associated Press has noted that those claims “distort” the facts, with FactCheck.org pointing out that CDC funding has actually increased under the current administration, largely because Congress insisted on maintaining funding levels for both CDC and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

CONTINUED:

Nevertheless, speaking to ABC News’ “This Week” on March 1, Biden claimed: “They’ve cut the funding for the CDC.” On Friday, Biden stepped up his attacks, writing on Twitter: “Donald Trump’s careless, shortsighted actions left our nation ill-prepared and now Americans are paying the price.”

Trump was blamed for something that occurred on Barack’s watch. Go figure, right?

The worst part is that Trump could mirror Obama’s moves and he’d still be chastised as the most evil man to ever walk the earth, simply because he’s a Republican.

And that’s the problem.
