74. The tweet in the OP is presented in an entirely different way then the actual tween from the Biden

Actual tweet from the campaign:

"Let’s get real. @JoeBiden fought for civil rights for his entire life. He started his career as a public defender. To attack him because he worked to convince Repubs (yes, some with horrible views) to vote for the Voting Rights Act is outrageous and is exactly what Trump wants."

Tweet from the Rolling Stone conveyed by Matthews:

"The @JoeBiden team said that @KamalaHarris is “doing exactly what Trump wants,” per MSNBC. Fails on two levels. First, he doesn’t want a charismatic black candidate telling the truth about racism. Second, the idea Trump wants Biden out of the race, after tonight, seems laughable."

Leaving out the full context of what the Biden campaign said is what is referred to as yellow journalism I am sorry to say

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Per Chris Matthews: Biden's team says Harris is doing "exactly what Trump wants." [View all] pnwmom Jun 2019 OP

Sounds like loser to me. JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #1

I'm sure it does.. Cha Jun 2019 #46

Isn't that interesting? comradebillyboy Jun 2019 #99

Thanks for clarifying that, Cha mcar Jun 2019 #130

Thank you for the shout out, mcar! Cha Jun 2019 #131

I will say this.Watch the polls Harris did herself no favors tonight. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #2

I agree Raine Jun 2019 #55

People like fairness...so much she could have brought up to Biden that were legitimate issues. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #121

We will see, but I thought she did very well. comradebillyboy Jun 2019 #101

Watch the polls, I could be wrong but outside of the media, I don't see much movement her way. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #120

Why? nt tblue37 Jun 2019 #106

I don't think she did...she basically called Biden a racist which is untrue...she did nothing to put Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #119

Disagree. mcar Jun 2019 #132

She may have 'won' he debate (I though the busing thing was contrived) but she didn't win over Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #138

No one likes pre-planned attacks...and on busing? Give me a break...did you watch. I thought Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #139

Of course, there's no bias or anything with that post. 😂 TheBlackAdder Jun 2019 #144

What the hell does "grow up" mean? nt JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #9

It means this is war, not whining... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #19

Children don't talk like that. She responded appropriately. pnwmom Jun 2019 #12

For god's sake... fight over deeds, not words... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #26

That is what Harris was doing, pointing out Biden's deeds Perseus Jun 2019 #38

The buffoon wants Bernie to be the nominee... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #48

He knows he can defeat Biden...oh rump the all seeing and all powerful. PLEASE. nt UniteFightBack Jun 2019 #53

I really disagree...and it was so contrived...with a picture just waiting to be released...I think Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #122

This exactly mcar Jun 2019 #134

I'm definitely going to have to disagree with you here. PatrickforO Jun 2019 #23

Tough as nails prosecutor? RHMerriman Jun 2019 #34

Sorry, but 'give me a fucking break' is over the top. PatrickforO Jun 2019 #44

Sorry, but I want a fighter taking on Trump... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #54

Fair enough. We'll see how it plays out. n/t PatrickforO Jun 2019 #59

True statement RHMerriman Jun 2019 #64

I totally agree with you. Harris has blunted whatever R B Garr Jun 2019 #129

She clearly said, "I don't think you're a racist." Demit Jun 2019 #135

Her accusations revealed what she was after, not the artificial R B Garr Jun 2019 #136

I'm sure she never said, "your words were hurtful" to a criminal and will never say that to Trump. marylandblue Jun 2019 #66

I voted for her for AG, but I'm starting to wonder RHMerriman Jun 2019 #71

Her job was to take him down, she wasn't personally hurt by it. marylandblue Jun 2019 #79

Undoubtedly true about seeing if anything comes of it... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #85

If you didn't see it the first time, you won't see it at all. marylandblue Jun 2019 #104

Yeah, whining about "hurtful words" is going to make Donald Trump change his behavior. RHMerriman Jun 2019 #39

That is because when Biden voted against it, she was a child Perseus Jun 2019 #31

So was I... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #42

I am sorry...I doubt a kid her age knew Biden's name...and she got the facts wrong too. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #125

Good point. If she was 'so hurt' by these MADE UP WORDS that she said Joe said then rump is UniteFightBack Jun 2019 #52

Sticks and stones... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #58

ridiculous charge by team Biden, smdh Celerity Jun 2019 #5

+1, all he has to say is those votes were a mistake and leave it at that !!! uponit7771 Jun 2019 #7

They didn't make any such charge though. Symone Sanders says Biden "camp" said no such thing emulatorloo Jun 2019 #83

and she was wrong, it was Alex Cristobal, one of his main Sr. advisers Celerity Jun 2019 #89

More info emulatorloo Jun 2019 #90

I am for the person who can best shred Trump apart, Harris is closer to that person than Biden is Celerity Jun 2019 #94

She's great emulatorloo Jun 2019 #96

McRaven as VP would help with that I think, 4 Star Admiral, US Spec Ops commander who led the bin Celerity Jun 2019 #105

This is not about shredding Trump...he is going for an electoral college win through the the Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #126

not sold on Biden's ability to take on Rump at all, each new public event convinces me more Celerity Jun 2019 #133

Do you think Warren or Harris can win Michigan and Wisconsin? They won't. Who can win? Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #137

Yes, I think either can win those states, especially Harris and even more so with a great VP Celerity Jun 2019 #140

Where's the statement put out by Joe Biden's campaign? .99center Jun 2019 #102

that was what the reporters were referring to, in todays world tweets from senior campaign officals Celerity Jun 2019 #107

Twist it however you want .99center Jun 2019 #110

I am not the one twisting anything, the reporting never said Biden himself said it, and it was from Celerity Jun 2019 #111

Bulls**t!!! LovingA2andMI Jun 2019 #6

I doubt that. Iliyah Jun 2019 #27

Agreed emulatorloo Jun 2019 #29

You think? LovingA2andMI Jun 2019 #30

I haven't been able to verify this anywhere else except as something Matthews said. I'd have highplainsdem Jun 2019 #8

Is there any evidence that the "Biden team" stated this? n/t MarcA Jun 2019 #10

Other than Chris Matthews saying the Biden team had just put out the statement, I haven't seen it.nt pnwmom Jun 2019 #16

Thank you. n/t MarcA Jun 2019 #21

That twitter thread is pretty telling. PatrickforO Jun 2019 #11

Will be interesting to see how the polls react between now and next round Bradical79 Jun 2019 #13

"My time's up. I'm sorry" tishaLA Jun 2019 #14

Nah. Trump will NEVER be able to attack Biden's record when his is SO fucking racist. Biden knows ancianita Jun 2019 #15

Biden staffer Symone Sanders said there was no such statement from the campaign. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #17

Interesting. I wouldn't expect Chris Matthews would have made that up. nt pnwmom Jun 2019 #20

Symone Sanders tweet here: highplainsdem Jun 2019 #28

Maybe you should self delete since S Sanders says it isn't true emulatorloo Jun 2019 #33

I trust Chris Matthews and MSNBC will issue a correction if necessary. n/t pnwmom Jun 2019 #43

Will you issue a correction? emulatorloo Jun 2019 #63

I won't have to. It turns out that a Biden Senior Advisor tweeted this out tonight. pnwmom Jun 2019 #67

Sure he would. Tweety is in it for the mud-slinging. He doesn't much care who's mud, as long as he's lindysalsagal Jun 2019 #124

Could be t-rump's trolls viva Iliyah Jun 2019 #32

Possibly. I'm still looking for any real proof of the statement. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #35

Large majorities oppose forced busing and Im sure a majority would say Biden was mr_liberal Jun 2019 #18

so where's the proof this has happened? nt msongs Jun 2019 #22

No proof that I can find so far. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #37

Actually, the buffoon wants Biden to win the nomination Perseus Jun 2019 #24

Except It isn't true emulatorloo Jun 2019 #36

Its not true the Biden campaign said that? Perseus Jun 2019 #40

Chris Matthews said it on MSNBC. He has less of a reason to shade the truth pnwmom Jun 2019 #47

He is quoting a writer from the Rolling Stone in your OP, so Matthews is just repeating what someone still_one Jun 2019 #70

I thought the Rolling Stone writer was quoting him. But in any case pnwmom Jun 2019 #72

Symone D Sanders works for the Biden campaign. I take her at her word. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #49

Wow.. Thank You for that, emulatorloo! Cha Jun 2019 #45

Dunno why this thread keeps going. What OP asserts is not true emulatorloo Jun 2019 #57

They're not paying attention to Cha Jun 2019 #62

It's been a hot issue for a week, and she went there, so we are all stirred up again. marylandblue Jun 2019 #68

That's nonsense, given all the polls showing Biden beating Trump. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #41

If true, Biden's team should tone it down. Hoyt Jun 2019 #50

It isn't true though. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #51

Thank you for taking the time to post on this. MarcA Jun 2019 #91

Sanders was correct. This was an off-the-cuff tweet from a single advisor during the debate, not highplainsdem Jun 2019 #93

People who call themselves Sr. campaign advisors should not make "off the cuff" tweets pnwmom Jun 2019 #95

This message was self-deleted by its author emulatorloo Jun 2019 #97

The tweet WAS off the cuff, posted just minutes after the exchange between Harris and Biden. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #100
