The president’s campaign didn’t respond to an email asking if they condoned the unfounded accusation.

Today’s charge came comes during a week in which unemployment climbed to 36M and virus deaths in the U.S. neared 90K.
In the same week, the president also hurled claims about Biden’s mental acuity and repeatedly accused a talk show host of murder
