The DNC just gaslit the entire country. There won’t be another segment on tv more detached from reality than this exchange on the Pandemic.

“4 years ago, this would’ve been a superspreader event. It feels really good to breathe air and see everyone’s smiling faces.”

Yeah, they're morons, but nowhere there do they claim they "defeated covid." What their statement implies is that they (in this case incorrectly) believed this event was not likely to be a spreader event due to overall lower numbers and impacts of covid nationally compared to 4 years ago. It does not imply that "they" specifically "defeated covid", that's clearly a feelings-driven logical leap on your part.
