16. He's not hiding in his house. He's had video appearances several times in the last week. Remember...

....he's a PRIVATE citizen, he does not have any obligations on the floor of the Senate.

As it turns out, the only Senator who is not self-quarantined that missed last night's vote just happened to be in Washington this afternoon to participate in the SAME vote. So it wasn't important enough yesterday afternoon (which took place at the same time as his "round table" which didn't have any medical people involved and then his rock concert) but was important enough to be there today!

How interesting. It's not like he was one of several or one of many who missed the vote - he was one of ONE. All the other healthy Senators were able to vote, only he wasn't there to vote.

This is a man who wants to be President?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
