there has never been a president with less credibility to claim that he did not see something that was widely covered on tv https://t.co/mb5y1ynAbI— Alex Burns (@alexburnsNYT) August 31, 2020
Very stark words from Joe Biden this afternoon about President Trump:— MJ Lee (@mj_lee) August 31, 2020
"The incumbent president is incapable of telling us the truth, incapable of facing the facts. Incapable of healing."
Biden: “Donald Trump looks at this violence and he sees a political lifeline.”— Eli Stokols (@EliStokols) August 31, 2020
In Pittsburgh, Joe Biden says, “Do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? Really?”— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) August 31, 2020
Biden: 'I believe if I were president today, the country would be safer and we’d be seeing a lot less violence."— MJ Lee (@mj_lee) August 31, 2020
Or if you want to hear Biden say it:
Biden: "Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting... it's lawlessness, plain & simple... violence will not bring change. It will only bring destruction... this POTUS long ago forfeited any moral leadership. He cannot stop the violence b/c for years he has fomented it." pic.twitter.com/6fWRemMnld— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 31, 2020
Biden: "They are running on this and I find it fascinating -- 'you won't be safe in Joe Biden's America.' And what is their proof? The violence we are seeing in Donald Trump's America ... these are images of Donald Trump's America today ... it's getting worse." pic.twitter.com/4eMkg9LQbG— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 31, 2020
Well, you know, he's out of the basement now. "Be careful what you wish for," and all that.
Seeing similar reactions from other center-right commentators concerned with this issue. We don't yet know how the whole week effects the campaign, but a frequent pundit error is this idea Biden is especially constrained by the left from giving this kind of speech. https://t.co/LRcVsP5QIJ— Benjy Sarlin (@BenjySarlin) August 31, 2020
The problem with Trump consistently lowering the bar is that so far Biden has met it. But diff between Trump and most candidates is despite the size of the chasm between reality and what he's saying, he will keep on with the claim. https://t.co/NbpeIMMcnf— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) August 31, 2020
Reality slaps Trump in the face on an hourly basis. Trump insists reality never laid a glove on him.
So it goes.
