Joe Biden headed out of D.C. to do some campaigning in Nevada and Arizona on Tuesday.
He went to the Washoe County Democratic Party office in Reno, and it was funny as one of the party members used a fight analogy and claimed Biden was "in the ring." Biden then mimed fighting.
"Just think about [it]," she said.
Yes, truly it's a scary thought. This is the person they want people to vote for. Once again, he was focused on the child.
He pulled out his same stump speech attacking former President Donald Trump and making up falsehoods about the economy, even though these were presumably campaign staff/volunteers and seemed to be an incredibly small audience.
He repeated the debunked story that Trump called dead military members "losers and suckers" when he visited a "cemetery of veterans." He then repeated that his son was one of those "losers and suckers."
First, it was a cemetery of Americans killed in war, and his son Beau was most definitely not one of those; he died from cancer. So Joe had a double falsehood going on there.
Biden also falsely claimed that they were going to keep lowering costs when costs have gone up under him.
Then in addition to the falsehoods, you can't have Joe Biden remarks without him getting something very wrong. Um, who is in NATO, Joe? Does he even know?
Biden seemed to claim that Dr. Henry Kissinger had called him and praised him for increasing “NATO and the border of NATO from bringing in Sweden and Norway."
But Norway was one of the 12 founding members of NATO in 1949 so I don’t think that Kissinger said that to Biden. I think it’s another one of Joe’s typical embellishments. But in any event, Biden got it wrong because he seemed to have no idea that Norway was a founding member and never said that. How could he be confused about that?
He also stepped in it with a comment that appeared to diss Los Angeles, where he likely recieves a lot of donor money.
When Biden gets confused and doesn't know what to say next, he has a tendency to add filler and try to get out of it by saying that he's "talking too much" or he's "going on too long." He did the "going on too long" shtick here, and it appeared the staff agreed as the music to make him shut up started playing.
Biden appeared surprised by it. People started laughing, thinking maybe it was supposed to be funny.
He then just handed the mic over to one of the local people and then went right back to focusing on the little girl.
If this is "campaigning" — talking to a small group of people who should already be in your corner so you can look like people are welcoming you, things are looking better and better for Trump.
