Laughed at himself and corrected himself. He meant 57 Primaries, didn’t stop the racists from calling it out. As for the MAGAts and the ShitStain, they will lie and claim he didn’t do it. And then, when caught, will come up with a story that he said Senators.

which is why I occasionally post threads about Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Marianas Islands in the U.S. Territories Group. They are so frequently overlooked that I feel that they deserve some publicity and to keep up with the important issues.

So the Deep State has more governors hidden out there, huh?

Well, where are those secret states? I demand an answer. I assume a lot of America is missing, (in more ways than one).

Other than knowing there are 50 states, and "hundreds" is more than 50, he didn't need to do math!
And he still got it wrong.

They'll say, "He meant hundreds of calls with governors."
However, unless he's averaging nearly 2 per day since all this started, he wouldn't be at ONE hundred. And this was pluralized. By the way, he was NOT on today's call. Pritzker said it was Pence.
So, he shows a total loss a reality, and the spin will include information that could not be true!

Never mind that the US has a population of 331 million. And Ivanka created 15 million jobs last year, roughly double the total number of jobs reports the the BLS.

He's exaggerating but only by a factor of 2. Does it matter? What about the subject of the tweet? Does Biden actually have governors calling him? That's the message.
