We regret to inform Chris Hayes that the Today Show used the same Biden clip as the RNC

Well, the context is also Biden previously saying *he* was going to shut down the virus to now, at best, saying we’re in this together with the states which is something President Donald Trump was saying all along:

BIDEN, TODAY: “There is no federal solution” to COVID.

Yep:

But the idea that the pandemic can only be solved at the state level is dramatically different from what Biden was saying in September: “If these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I’ll use my power as president to get them out of the way!”https://t.co/9TWqGL2WWL

And maybe Hayes can call somebody he knows over at the Today Show because they’re also using the same short soundbite for their report?

Here's NBC's @TODAYshow passing off Biden's comments about Covid and testing not having a "federal solution" but rather "at a state level" like it's no big deal.

And spare us any outrage as this is *exactly* what MSNBC did to Trump for four years:

You did this for 4 years straight to Trump. I have zero sympathy for your BS now. https://t.co/xddWXgEvo3
