Trump Takes A Dig At Biden During 'Save America' Rally In Arizona

Joe Biden's way of handling of the COVID-19 pandemic hasn't impressed former US President Donald Trump, who slammed the President Saturday during his Arizona rally.

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden had made the defeat of coronavirus a priority. Since the day he became the President he has been trying to battle the virus through increased vaccinations among the masses. But during a "Save America" rally in Florence, Arizona, Trump attacked Biden by pointing to the rising numbers of COVID cases fueled by the Omicron variant, reported Business Insider. Trump said that people knew that Biden would be "not so good, but few could have imagined that he would be such a disaster" for the US. He shared that there are "four times more" coronavirus cases in America, and tried to mimick Biden's voice by saying, "Remember, I'm gonna get rid of COVID."

In an attempt to impersonate Biden's gestures, the former president also moved his hand. The impersonation made the crowd, which consisted of several of Trump's passionate supporters, laugh. Trump was likely talking about the rising number of coronavirus cases that America faced last year as a result of the Delta variant, which turned out to be highly infectious.

Apart from taking a dig at Biden, Trump also called the Capitol Police officer who gunned down Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol a "disgrace," according to Business Insider. During his first rally of 2022, he falsely claimed that Democrats wanted to "protect" the cop exonerated of wrongdoing in connection with Babbitt's death following an internal probe. Months after the riot, Lieutenant Michael Byrd, who is a 28-year-veteran of the force, revealed his identity during an interview with NBC News.

The night before the Jan. 6, 2021 attack, Babbitt had tweeted that the "storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours." She was shot while she was trying to climb through a window in front of the Speaker's Lobby.

Trump, however, went on to allege that the "real insurrection happened on Election Day" and alleged the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was behind the riot. He asked how many of those present at the Capitol complex on Jan. 6 were "FBI confidential informants, agents, or otherwise directly or indirectly with an agency of the United States government."
