GUYS: NEW MEME! As nastiness revs up toward Election 2020

Notice how often various republi-CONS are now referring to the "Obama/Biden" this and that, trying to lambaste the previous administration for all kinds of wrongs.

They're including "Biden" now when they're attempting to rewrite history against President Obama.

Okay? You're slamming Obama/Biden again, in a shameless attempt at a two-fer.

Going after Obama again, 'eh?

Sounds like another "High-Tech Lynching" to me.

So now, the GOP is trying to perpetrate a "high-tech lynching" of our former President.

A new "High-Tech Lynching."

Pass it on.

during his nomination hearings.

He fumed into the microphone about being the victim of a "high-tech lynching."

So now we have it, happening AGAIN. Only this time it's being attempted against our first African-American (clean, non-scandal-prone) President.

a majority of voters look back on Obama favorably, so tying Biden to that...please proceed.

Other than his shrinking base?

A clear majority of voters view Obama favorably. Biden uses the term himself.
They are literally reinforcing a theme Biden is selling.

So, again, I say, please proceed.
