Biden botches military coronavirus death count, campaign says he accidentally cited Michigan number

Biden probably had written on the palm of his hand, "Michigan" so he could look at it to know where he was.

"Vice President Biden has the utmost respect for the men and women of the armed services and believes it's the sacred duty of our country to properly equip them, look after their families when they're deployed, and care for them when they return,” Biden’s Deputy Rapid Response Director Michael Gwin said in a statement to Fox News. Really??? When he was VP, that administration ordered the largest reduction in force since the end of Vietnam. That administration also reduced defense spending, which reduced our overall military capabilities.

Gwin added: “To honor their service, the Vice President carries with him each day a card detailing the number of Americans who have given their lives for our country in Iraq and Afghanistan, and frequently cites that number to recognize their sacrifice." He has to have the number on a card? Is that because he can't remember. It's an easy number to remember. 2,499 US military members were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan during the Obama administration. That's an easy number to remember, unless you have Dementia.
