“And yet you spent the pandemic yelling at Ron DeSantis for saying the same thing, you unparalleled boob. Also, perhaps you should end your unconstitutional federal vaxx mandates, Captain There Is No Federal Solution,” The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro tweeted.
Conservative Brief "Joe Biden admitted on Monday that there was “no federal solution” to the COVID-19 pandemic and that these challenges should be addressed at the state level.
"While speaking at the COVID-19 response team’s call with the National Governors Association, Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson spoke about the challenges his state has faced while addressing the pandemic.
"“And so one word of concern or encouragement for your team is that as you look towards federal solutions that will help alleviate the challenge, make sure that we do not let federal solution stand in the way of state solutions,” Hutchinson said. “And the production of 500 million rapid tests that will be distributed by the federal government is great. But obviously, that dries up the supply chain for the solutions that we might offer as governor.”
"Biden responded, “Look, there is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level.” . . .

Biden was meeting Monday with 25 of the nation's governors - a mix of Republicans and Democrats - where he addressed the ongoing pandemic.
After his speech, Biden asked White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients to open to the floor to questions from the governors.
However, before taking any questions, Zients quickly booted the press from the room, saying: 'I think we're going to clear the press first.'
It's the latest instance of White House staffers appearing to shield the gaffe-prone president from the press. Last week, Biden cut short questions after a speech, saying: 'I'm not supposed to be having this press conference.'
Daily Mail comments accuse the GOP of deceptively editing Biden's remarks. That would be disturbing if so because we must be better than Democrats. TD
