BIDEN CAMPAIGN STATEMENT - "Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth, he's confused, deranged, lying, or worse."

[kpete]

From the Joe Biden for President campaign:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 9, 2024

The following is a statement from TJ Ducklo, Biden-Harris 2024 Senior Advisor for Communications, in response to Donald Trump’s unhinged ramblings tonight in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with the NRA:

“Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth, he’s confused, deranged, lying, or worse. Tonight, he lied more than two dozen times, slurred his words, confused basic facts, and placated the gun lobby weeks after telling parents to “get over it” after their kids were gunned down at school. But you won’t hear about any of it if you watch cable news, read this weekend’s papers, or watch the Sunday shows. Beltway reporters may be numb to Trump’s horrifying candidacy defined by chaos, division, and violence — but the American people are the ones who will suffer and die if he’s allowed anywhere near the Oval Office again.

“This is not a drill – Donald Trump is THE fundamental threat facing the American people and everyone needs to act like it. Including the free press – while we still have one.”

The following is a list of lies Donald Trump told tonight. In Harrisburg, PA. Like literally hours ago:

Trump falsely said he won the Virgin Islands caucus “100%.”

Trump falsely said he won PA twice.

Trump falsely said Biden wants an open border.

Trump falsely said terrorists were taken into this country by the millions.

Trump falsely said we had the safest borders under his presidency.

Trump falsely said Biden will confiscate guns and take away the right to self-defense.

“Biden has implemented a vicious zero tolerance policy. Do you know what that is? It’s not good. That revokes the license of independent firearms dealers if they make a single minor error, little tiny error.”

Trump falsely said no one died in Afghanistan during his presidency.

Trump falsely claims “nothing happens” to people who commit assault or murder.

Trump falsely said he worked with the FBI and said that Biden made recovering the

documents very difficult.

Trump falsely claimed he was “covered by the Presidential Records Act” when he

destroyed documents.

Trump falsely says Catholics are being persecuted.

Trump falsely said electric cars don’t work in cold weather.

Trump falsely said “We never had a country that was doing so well as it was during the

Trump four years,” but he left office with fewer jobs than he entered

Trump falsely claimed he got Mexico to send 28,000 soldiers to the border.

Trump falsely said Mexico took 32% of our car industry.

Trump falsely said everyone coming to the country is a man between 18 and 25.

Trump falsely says there were no terror attacks during his administration.

Trump falsely said Biden tried to ram through an “open border bill.”

Trump falsely said if the bill was passed unions would be out of business.

Trump falsely said Democrats cheat in elections.

Trump falsely said Democrats cheated in the 2020 election.

Trump falsely said President Biden can close the border and the bill is a hoax.

Trump falsely said we don’t have free speech.

Trump falsely said we don’t have a free and fair press.

Trump falsely said he did better in PA in 2020 than 2016.

Trump falsely said they’ll change the name of PA if he’s not elected.

Trump falsely said we’re a failing nation and a nation in decline.

“Joe Biden is the worst and most incompetent and most corrupt president in the history of our country.”

Falsely said Biden is going to empower America’s enemies, unleash misery throughout your state and throughout our country, bedlam and chaos at home and abroad.

1. I LIKE IT !!!!

[dutch777]

2. Really wish Haley could corral Trump into a debate. I don't love her but she could show up Trump as unfit

[dalton99a]

3. Spread this counterattack everywhere, every day.

[Freethinker65]

4. Oooh. Get Letterman to do a real top ten list of Trump lies per week?

Then pay to have it televised as repeated single ads. It will get media coverage AND get talked about and voters will talk about what foolish thing will make this weeks list.

[Walleye]

5. Unfortunately the Trump fans know that he is a liar a rapist and a cheat. They love him for it

I don’t know what exactly we can do about that. I don’t think improving our messaging is really going to help

[soldierant]

25. Not with Trump** fams, no.

But it might affect turnout among people who might not vote unless they are scared enough.

I don't like scaring voters but in this case the danger is real - and imminent.

[Fla Dem]

6. Great Job of listing all Idiot Trumps lies and misstatements.

[GreenWave]

7. Moe Howard "You weaken the nation!"

11. When tRump opens his mouth

Verbal vomit comes out.

[poli-junkie]

12. RAPID RESPONSE! Love it! Keep it coming!

[ismnotwasm]

13. YES!

[solara]

14. Great list! Sure seems like every single delusional 'speech'

by the criminally indicted loser ex-president is becoming a case in point for his all-embracing penchant for projection. Which is, by far, one of donald's most pathetic and over-used abilities.

Every so-called sentence from his mouth is a lie and then utilized as projection against his long, long list of 'enemies'.

Desperate Donald emerges

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. The Sunday Republican Talk Shows won't mention any of it, so we have to.

16. I am glad that the Biden campaign released that statement

17. Seems like TJ Ducklo knows something about rapid fire responses.

This is exactly what we need….and more of it.

[Cha]

28. TJ Ducklo had stage 4 lung cancer.. grateful to see

he's still here and just rejoined the Biden campaign as Senior Adviser.

[Johonny]

18. Trump did have the safest borders.

Because the whole world shutdown due to a pandemic that world leaders such as Trump completely mishandled. Sure the complete collapse of international borders and travel world wide hurt the economy and millions died of the disease despite this, but Gravedigger Trump sure should take all the credit in my opinion.

[Bluethroughu]

19. True blue!

[japple]

20. THIS: "This is not a drill!"

“This is not a drill – Donald Trump is THE fundamental threat facing the American people and everyone needs to act like it. Including the free press – while we still have one.”

This is a game for the media. I don't watch TV any more and I'm about to cancel my subscription to WAPO.

[Midnight Writer]

21. It's a shame our press needs to be given prompts like this.

They watch these Trump rallies.

They are not fools. They know Trump lies, is deranged and confused, is dangerous in a position of power.

But you would not know it by reading a lot of their reporting.

They also interact with Joe Biden, in both formal settings and informal settings, like our recent Christmas Party marathon.

They know full well he is not corrupt, deranged and confused.

But that is not what they are reporting. Instead, they are going with the "Is President Biden unfit for Office?", "we're just asking the question", "some people say", bullshit narrative.

Just like they did with Al Gore, with John Kerry, with Hillary Clinton.

22. KICK

23. President Biden has been my political hero since 1987

I have voted for him in every primary or election he was in when he was on my ballot since then. I became an Independent until 2008 for what I thought was a cheap shot with roots in our party against him in 87.

I don't feel good about this statement. I hope I am wrong, but it feels like playground politics that President Biden has always been above. Ever since Ron Klain left, and I fully understand why, I've been concerned that it weakened President Bidens flank against the most powerful political enemies he's ever faced.

No president does the job alone and their strengths are the people they surround themselves with. That's what made RICO look powerful but politically weak, he surrounded himself with stooges besides the fact he's plain an simply insane. There's been a few, not many but a few questionable, at least in my mind, political moves by President Biden since Klain's departure. I won't list them, I think most are self evident as they've been mentioned on this board occasionally, and they are just my opinion and this post is close enough to possibly breaking the rules. I'm not posting anything opposing the party or the president.

I'm trying to do some critical thinking as a gen. Z'er or X'er or Millennial or even a young boomer like myself. I find this statement below this President and below Presidential politics in general. I hope I am wrong, won't be the first or last time, but there are better and stronger ways, not talking about taking the high road stuff, to hit back at not only Special Counsel Hur but RICO himself.

If President Biden is showing loyalty to Garland as a long time political colleague, perhaps a friendship on a personal level that few know about, in a rare mistake he's got the loyalty card backwards and if so, it's because of genuineness of personality as opposed to just being weak, which we know he's not, but his enemies could absolutely use this to pouince. This is an area where, once again IMO, Klain's counsel could have held great weight.

It's fine to disagree with me, just offering an opinion, but I just don't like the framing of that response.

26. Finally!!! Call the scumbag out on his lies & BS!!!

And don't stop!

[onetexan]

27. Yup. Dems need to beat the warning drums now to election day

The Con is a threat not only to this country but to the rest of the world.
