Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) took to Twitter on Saturday to attack presidential candidate Joe Biden, who announced that he would be giving “shadow briefings” to alert the public of coronavirus information that Donald Trump isn’t giving out.
Gaetz said the following on Twitter:
Wut?
Is Biden trying to thrust the confusion torturing his own mind upon the rest of us during crisis?
I trust @realDonaldTrump, @VP & the health pros.
I don’t trust Biden to know what state he is in.
Biden should shelter in place, stay safe, and listen to his President.

It didn’t take long for Twitter users to react and call out Gaetz.
Here are some of the best responses:
Biden worked with all the pandemic professionals in the intelligence community under Obama. Trump disbanded the department and fired everyone. Trump knew about this in January and downplayed it WORSENING THE CRISIS.

hey @mattgaetz … do you remember making fun of coronavirus / COVID-19 on the House floor a few weeks ago, just before one of your constituents died? pic.twitter.com/p4dsZCzLiG

"listen to his President" as he
— makes up cures
— sidelines the experts
— scapegoats the Chinese
— denies the seriousness of the threat
— fails to secure masks, tests and ventilators— Chris Beneke (@historyball) March 21, 2020
Nobody trusts @realDonaldTrump or @VP pic.twitter.com/Nt7fY0L3Hq

Sit. Down. Your state is a disaster. You’re a disaster. No one trusts you unless you’re giving a drink recipe.

Andrew Cuomo sounds more presidential and is actually DOING something….. Cuomo's press conferences are giving GOOD updates…… where's @realDonaldTrump ?

@JoeBiden is better than a President who takes no responsibility for this crisis and attacks reporters for asking simple questions like what would he say to alleviate Americans who are scared right now… pic.twitter.com/rvqlOseNQK
