Trump Adviser's Head-Scratching Attempt To Trash Biden Backfires

10/15/2020 11:53 pm ET Updated 1 hour ago

Mercedes Schlapp compared Joe Biden’s town hall to the beloved “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.”

By Josephine Harvey

Trump campaign senior adviser Mercedes Schlapp on Thursday sought to insult Joe Biden’s ABC News town hall by comparing it to “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” which critics saw as an endorsement for the Democratic presidential nominee.

Schlapp quoted a tweet from Fox News host Greg Gutfeld that criticized the simultaneous event for President Donald Trump on NBC News. Schlapp added in her own tweet that Biden’s town hall was akin to watching an episode of the beloved children’s show.

Trump and Biden held town halls for voters at the same time after the second presidential debate was scrapped due to Trump’s refusal to participate in a virtual event after testing positive for COVID-19.

At Trump’s NBC News event in Miami, he clashed with the host, defended and refused to condemn the QAnon conspiracy, the followers of which the FBI has deemed a national security threat; declined to confirm if he tested negative for COVID-19 on the day of the first debate; attacked advance voting and applauded his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which has so far killed more than 217,000 people in America. He made false statements about many topics.

The Schlapps are not good people.

Actually, Joe Biden is a lot like Mr. Rogers.

Trump reminds me of Norman Bates.

Joanne Rogers, 92, is the wife of the late Fred Rogers, host of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, a popular children's show which aired for 31 seasons on TV
While her husband was famously apolitical throughout his career, Joanne Rogers felt compelled to speak out about President Trump
She slammed the president as a 'horrible person' and called him 'pathologically ill' on same day he held a rally in her late husband's hometown near Pittsburgh
Rogers said Trump's Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, reminded her of her late husband because of his kindness
She said Biden's outreach to a young boy with a stuttering problem is similar to her late husband's relationship with a quadriplegic who appeared on his show.
