Joe Biden insult Wisconsin workers ventilator victory.

Machinists who worked around the clock to produce ventilators deserve gratitude, not derision.

From the very start of the global coronavirus pandemic, the Trump Administration has been taking decisive action to protect Americans, including invoking the Defense Production Act multiple times to increase ventilator production.

Ventilator manufacturers have stepped up to increase the supply of the machines, and their efforts helped ensure that everyone who needed a ventilator got one.

But yesterday, with Mike Pence on the ground in Wisconsin to thank workers for their dedication, Joe Biden sneered that these men and women were nothing but a “photo op.”

Biden’s dismissive characterization couldn’t be further from the truth. Instead of derision, these workers deserve gratitude – and that’s exactly why Vice President Pence was there.

Democrats and their media allies did their best to create hysteria about ventilator shortages that did not occur. Despite experts like Dr. Deborah Birx asking them not to incite panic, they ran with the worst spin anyway and totally blew it.

So while Joe Biden was part of the problem and doing nothing but sniping from the sidelines, President Trump, Vice President Pence, and their coronavirus task force were finding solutions that saved American lives.

The machinists in Wisconsin were and are a big part of that. To see Biden insult their incredible progress for political reasons is a disgrace.
