This is how they change. This is something that is a totally expected behavior. And actually, we hope it mutates into a form that is less virulent. Maybe that would be a godsend.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBut for Biden to say that, especially for Kamala Harris to say that, just shows an ignorance of what is going on trying to push blame on something that really is just nonsensical,\u201d he continued. \u201cYes, it was coming. And there will be another mutation and another mutation until we finally, again, mutate to a form that\u2019s not virulent for the country or the world, for that matter.<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday on Fox Business Network\u2019s \u201cThe Evening Edit,\u201d Rep.
