“COVID, COVID, COVID, he’s complaining. He’s jealous of COVID’s media coverage,” said Barack Obama, who went on slamming US President Donald Trump over the latter’s irresponsible management of a pandemic.

Former US President Barack Obama, vouching for his former Vice President Joe Biden, on Tuesday addressed a 273 car drive-in rally at Orlando, Florida, a swing state that Trump won in 2016.

“More than 225,000 people in this country are dead. More than 100,000 small businesses have closed. Half a million jobs are gone in Florida alone. Think about that. And what’s his closing argument? That people are too focused on Covid. He said this at one of his rallies. Covid, Covid, Covid, he’s complaining. He’s jealous of Covid’s media coverage. If he had been focused on Covid from the beginning, cases wouldn’t be reaching new record highs across the country this week,” CNN quoted Obama.

As the first African-American President of the United States, Obama said that in his eight years at the White House, he’s never seen the presidential residence as such a hostile place. ‘COVID hot zone’ was the term Obama used for the White House.

“I lived in the White House for a while. You know, it’s a controlled environment. You can take some preventive measures in the White House to avoid getting sick. Except, this guy can’t seem to do it. He’s turned the White House into a hot zone,” he said.

Then Obama’s attention shifted from Donald Trump’a failures to what Joe Biden had to offer. As Trump spoke about Trump tweeting at everything, the President actually took on to Twitter to comment on the faint crowd in the drive-in event.

“Listen, you’ve got a President right now, he wants full credit for an economy that he inherited, he wants zero blame for the pandemic he ignored. But you know what, the job doesn’t work that way. You’ve got to be responsible 24/7. You’ve got to pay attention 24/7. Tweeting at the TV doesn’t fix things. Watching TV all day doesn’t fix things. Making stuff up doesn’t fix things,” Obama said.

Donald Trump’s Supreme Court candidate, Amy Coney Barrett was registered as a Justice after a historic set of hearings. The Democrats opposed the appointment consistently, given that their opposition clearly has a 6-3 advantage on the bench now.

“We have to turn out like never before, Orlando. We have to leave no doubt. We can’t be complacent. We were complacent last time. Folks got a little lazy. Folks took things for granted. And look what happened. Not this time.”

Referring to Joe Biden, the former president said, “He made me a better president, and he’s got the character and the experience to make us a better country.”
