Another day, another excuse from Biden’s camp: ‘They know this doesn’t help their case right?’

July 13, 2024 | | Print Article

New gaffes meant new excuses for President Joe Biden’s spent damage control team that didn’t shy away from admitting, “He will probably continue to do so.”

After the incumbent’s performance at the presidential debate, an increasing number of people had been led to believe that 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue had been converted to an assisted living home. As Biden had done little to allay concerns, and ultimately added more with his “big boy” press conference, his campaign communications director Michael Tyler sought new lows in shamelessness over the gaffetastic geriatric.

“Joe Biden has been making gaffes for 40 years,” said the spokesman during a gaggle aboard Air Force One on the way to Michigan Friday. “He made a couple last night. He will probably continue to do so.”

Of course, as Tyler seemingly captured Biden’s widely suspected failing mental faculties under the rainbow umbrella with a “he was born this way”-style message, the campaign official made sure to pivot to gaslighting with misleading and debunked claims about former President Donald Trump.

“Our opponent is somebody who recently out on the stump called for a bloodbath if he loses,” said Tyler without context, “is pledging to rule as a dictator on day one, and pledging to ban abortion nationwide across the country.”

“If voters watched the totality of that press conference, they saw the president lead on the global stage, talk about complex issues, the ways in which he has rallied [the] West after Putin’s invasion, the ways in which he has been working on securing a ceasefire framework in the Middle East,” the spokesman went on. “They saw him present a clear choice against the opponent, Donald Trump, who just laid out all the fundamental threats he poses to the American people.”

The added commentary appeared in line with the campaign’s effort to lean into Biden mistakenly referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Russian President Vladimir Putin during the same Thursday press conference where he had said Vice President Trump instead Vice President Kamala Harris.

As the campaign shared the Putin clip in full instead of sweeping it under the rug, the president’s personal X account also sought to gloss over the Trump gaffe with a widely-panned dig at a gibe from Trump who’d said, “Crooked Joe begins his ‘Big Boy’ Press Conference with, ‘I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president, though I think she was not qualified to be president.’ Great job, Joe!”

Biden’s response read, “By the way: Yes, I know the difference. One’s a prosecutor, and the other’s a felon,” and earned an ample supply of snark on social media for whoever was responsible for drafting and approving the message for publishing, “the dumbest post on X tonight.”

Likewise, users weren’t buying the attempt to contain the worsening public image of Biden as Tyler had also deflected concerns of the president’s reported limited work schedule by claiming, “Nobody is going to work harder to beat Donald Trump than the president of the United States Joe Biden.”
