Writes Johnny Kramer:

Lew,

Regarding Biden saying yesterday that “the only garbage I see floating out there is his (Trump’s) supporters:”

As you know, an old joke about politics is that a “gaffe” is when a politician accidentally tells the truth.

Maybe Biden made a gaffe. 

But it’s obvious that he was coerced into dropping out; given how defiant he initially was publicly after his embarrassing debate performance in June about staying in, just imagine how much more defiant he was privately.

And it has been rumored since that Biden is bitter at the Democratic establishment over it, which I don’t doubt.

So, when I first saw the transcript of his comments, I thought that it was more likely that he was deliberately trying to sabotage what’s left of Harris’ campaign, out of spite.

But now that I’ve seen the footage to observe his demeanour, I don’t know which it was. Maybe it was sabotage, but maybe he accidentally said the quiet part out loud about what people like him think about us plebs that his class loots and coerces for a living, much like Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” comment eight years ago.

Even if it was sabotage, I do know that the alternative explanation is still also true — I’m sure there’s plenty of room in his basket of deplorables for his former friends and for us.

I also know that the joke is on the Democrat voters, because the political class holds them in equal disdain — those voters are just too oblivious to realize it.

And I know that, regardless of Biden’s intentions, calling half of the country “garbage” is going to work out about as well for Harris as Hillary’s “deplorables” comment worked out for her in 2016.

Political theater indeed!
