Former President Donald Trump said President Joe Biden was either “not telling the truth or not spiritually gone” when he said at a Tuesday City Hall that there were no COVID-19 vaccinations in stock when his government first once came into office.
Trump said in a Wednesday interview with Newsmax host Greg Kelly: “[Biden] said there was no vaccine when he came into office, and yet he got a chance before he came into office. ‘
“It was early November that we announced it,” he continued, referring to the approval of the first vaccine. ‘But we actually had it substantial and we gave millions of shots and millions of doses. So he did not speak the truth, or that he was gone spiritually – one or the other. ‘

At a CNN City Hall event on Tuesday night, Biden said, “We came into the office and found out … figuratively and literally, there was nothing in the fridge.” Later, Biden said, “It’s one thing to have the vaccine, which we did not have when we came into office.”
But elsewhere on the forum, Biden said: ‘We came into office, there were only 50 million doses’ available.
Newsweek contacted the White House for comment.
