Biden on why he has not brought up Trump's children in response to Trump's Hunter Biden attacks



Tweet text:Edward-Isaac Dovere
@IsaacDovere
Biden to @danpfeiffer on why he has not brought up Trump's children in response to Trump's Hunter Biden attacks: "I just think it's crass. I'm running against Donald Trump, not his children. The American people want to hear about their families, not Trump's family or my family."

He's right. The more credence is given to the goings-on of family members, the easier it is to associate this Hunter BS with VP Biden.

As will the IRS, the State of New York, the city of Manhattan. The Trump kids are not off the hook, not by a long shot.

With Joe keeping Trump's 3 elder children out of the conversation is showing CLASS and the the contrast between him and Trump could not be more clear. The election is between him and Donald Trump.

Sir.

IQ45 is the definition of crass, and it pleases me that Biden will not go there.

Seriously, can we hire these guys every election?

its a great arrangement. They go low, so we can stay high. Any Republican whining about their ads is whining about fellow Republicans. Notice they are not being harped against much on right wing media. Its because if they opened that can of worms, they'd have to admit there are many prominent Republicans that don't want to see Trump re-elected. The perfect foil

Joe has so much against Chump already, he doesn't need to even mention the disgusting Chump family. The kids deserve it, but Joe's not going to be the one to throw the shit at them. Throwing shit at Chump is already a full-time job.

Sat Oct 24, 2020, 02:09 PM
Oct 2020

Every cabinet, department and agency will need a complete accounting to find out the damage done to our federal government. It's not just the policies, the graft and grift extending from the Trump family tentacles outward. There was so much money shoveled out that we know of, but much was hidden, so we will have to find out where so much of it went, try to cancel a lot of contracts, prosecute a lot of people. But first we have to concentrate on the voting and get him and his accomplices out of OUR government. If you know a good forensic accountant, tell her (or him) to get their resume ready, there will be a lot of work available.

Yes, leave that nasty stuff to the Lincoln Project...agree!

But, then we need TLP, Don Winslow, Meidas Touch etc to make more ads about it. And the media in general need to bring it up! How about if Brianna Keiller brings up some of the Drumpf kids' corruption and then asks the camera "You are probably wondering why Vice President Biden never brings this stuff up. Well, look at this exchange between him and Dan Pfeiffer." Or she can ask a Biden spokesperson, on her show, why Biden isn't bringing Drumpf's kids' corruption up. And, Brianna can bring some of the stuff up. And, then the spokesperson can reference the Biden/Pfeiffer exchange

Win/Win....the public gets to hear about Drumpf kids' corruption and Biden comes across as the classy person that he is!

I'm not convinced, though. As far as I'm concerned, to the extent that each of the Drumpf kids and spouses have involved themselves in the process, they are fair game.
