Joe Biden previously claimed 150 million Americans had been killed by gun violence. And now he’s sent another 120 million to their graves:

Republicans are slamming Joe Biden after the presumptive Democratic nominee made a verbal gaffe during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania and said 120 million people had died from the novel coronavirus.

“People don’t have a job, people don’t know where to go, they don’t know what to do,” Biden said Thursday. “Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID.”

As of Thursday, there have been more than 122,000 – not million – coronavirus deaths in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins figures.

While Biden appears to immediately catch himself after his gaffe – the pool video of Biden’s comments cuts off after he made the remark – Republicans were quick to jump on the former vice president’s comment.

Sometimes it’s almost as if there’s something wrong with Biden’s brain. Still, he’s polling better than that old fall-down lady who beat Trump in 2016, so there’s that.
