One day, President Donald Trump told Americans that he bore no share of the blame for testing missteps that have increased the devastation wrought by coronavirus.

"I don't take responsibility at all," he said.

A few days later, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo welcomed accountability for the extraordinary measures his state has put in place to stop the spread of the virus, including the closure of "nonessential" businesses beginning at 8 p.m. Sunday.

"If someone wants to blame someone, blame me," Cuomo said this week. "There is no one else responsible for this decision.”

And in the midst of all this, the Democratic frontrunner for president is… nowhere to be found. Politico reports that “ever since his commanding victories Tuesday [the 17th] against Bernie Sanders in Florida, Illinois and Arizona, Biden has made no public appearances or statements.” He’s not being interviewed on television. He is not recording daily video messages, and videos on his social media accounts feature people who are not Joe Biden. His recent interaction with the public has apparently been limited to a single thumbs-up emoji posted on instagram.

Barack Obama and the Democrats have their words to live by as set out by Rahm Emanuel the mayor of Chicago Never let a tragedy go to waste. The massacre at San Bernardino is made to liberal order.
