Biden Suggests Trump Supporters Are Stupid at DNC: ‘Can’t Think, Can’t Read Very Well’

President Joe Biden’s speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday night has sparked controversy for its inflammatory rhetoric directed at supporters of former President Donald Trump. Biden took aim at Trump supporters with a disparaging comment about their intelligence and reading abilities.

In his speech, Biden questioned the nation’s educational system and blamed Trump and his allies for purported failures. “How can we be the greatest nation in the world without the best education system in the world?” Biden asked. “Donald Trump and his Republican friends, they not only can’t think, they can’t read very well.” The comment was met with laughter from the audience, but it has since drawn significant criticism from various quarters.

Biden’s remarks echo Clinton’s 2016 comments when she described Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables.” At the time, Clinton faced intense backlash for labeling half of Trump’s supporters as part of a “basket” filled with individuals she deemed “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic.” The Trump campaign had condemned Clinton’s remarks as a display of “true contempt” for everyday Americans, criticizing her for failing to maintain a positive campaign.

The Trump campaign was quick to respond, drawing parallels between Biden’s speech and Clinton’s earlier comments. “Just when Joe Biden was supposed to be uniting the country, he instead resorted to the same divisive tactics that Hillary Clinton used in 2016,” a Trump campaign spokesperson said. “These remarks reveal a deep-seated contempt for millions of Americans who support Trump and are disillusioned with the current administration’s policies.”

Trump Shooter Had Multiple Encrypted Accounts Overseas

The gunman who nearly killed former President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month used encrypted messaging accounts on multiple platforms based in Belgium, New Zealand and Germany, according to a House representative appointed to a congressional task force investigating the assassination attempt.

Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., a retired Green Beret appointed to the 13-member House bipartisan task force investigating the attempted assassination of Trump, told reporters about the accounts while at the Trump Hotel Chicago Wednesday.

One reporter asked Waltz what he and other members of the task force had learned during the investigation and about the encrypted messages on the shooter’s cellphone.

“We still haven’t learned a lot. We haven’t learned that much about those overseas accounts,” he said, referring to accounts held by would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks. “We do know that they were in, if I get this correctly, Belgium, New Zealand and Germany.

“Why does a 19-year-old kid who is a health care aide need encrypted platforms not even based in the United States, but based abroad, where most terrorist organizations know it is harder for our law enforcement to get into? That’s a question I’ve had since day one.” (Read more from “Trump Shooter Had Multiple Encrypted Accounts Overseas” HERE)

RFK Jr to Weigh Dropping U.S. Presidential Bid to Join Forces With Trump

By Reuters. Independent U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering ending his campaign to join forces with Republican rival Donald Trump, Kennedy’s running mate said in an interview posted online on Tuesday.

The vice presidential candidate, Nicole Shanahan, said that as independents she and Kennedy ran the risk of drawing support from would-be Trump voters and clearing the way for Democrats Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to win the November election. . .

Trump told CNN on Tuesday he would “certainly be open” to Kennedy playing a role in his administration if the independent candidate drops out of the race and endorses him.

“I like him, and I respect him,” Trump told the network in an interview after a campaign stop in Michigan.

“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump was quoted as saying by CNN. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.” (Read more from “RFK Jr to Weigh Dropping U.S. Presidential Bid to Join Forces With Trump” HERE)

RFK Jr.’s Running Mate Admits Campaign is Considering Joining Forces With Donald Trump

By Breitbart. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, says their campaign is considering joining forces with Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump.

In an interview with Tom Bilyeu on his show, Impact Theory, Shanahan revealed that she trusts “the future” of the United States under the leadership of people such as Trump and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH).

When questioned about rumors that Kennedy was in talks with either Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign about a “potential endorsement” in exchange for a position in their cabinets, Shanahan said they were “definitely not in talks with Harris” and “definitely never have brought up this idea of an endorsement” with Harris’s campaign.

“There’s two options that we’re looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump — or we draw, somehow, more votes from Trump,” Shanahan revealed. “Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump, and we walk away from that, and we explain to our base why we’re making this decision.”

“If we’re splitting hairs, I would say that I trust the future of this country more under the leadership of the Trump and the Theos and the JD Vances than I do of the Harrises and Reid Hoffman,” Shanahan added during the interview.

Michelle Obama Plays Race Card In Speech At DNC

Former First Lady Michelle Obama took a controversial turn in her speech at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night, accusing former President Donald Trump of racism in his opposition to her and her husband, former President Barack Obama.

In her address, Obama suggested that Trump’s antagonism towards the Obama administration was rooted in racial prejudice, asserting that Trump’s worldview was threatened by the success of a highly-educated, black couple. This speech marks a significant departure from her 2016 message of maintaining dignity and rising above negativity, famously captured in her mantra, “When they go low, we go high.”

During her speech, Obama alleged, “For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. His limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly-educated, successful people who happen to be black.”

The speech was met with applause from the Democratic audience, but it has stirred controversy, particularly regarding its implications about Trump’s motives and statements.

One point of contention is Obama’s critique of Trump’s use of the term “black jobs.” In her remarks, she questioned if Trump might see the job he seeks as one of those “black jobs,” which some interpreted as a veiled accusation of racism. Trump’s use of the term, however, was related to job market dynamics and competition rather than a racially motivated slur.

Trump’s Ex-Spokeswoman Trashes Him at DNC, Endorses Harris

Former Trump White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham bashed former President Donald Trump and hailed Vice President Kamala Harris in a speech at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday.

Grisham was one of the star speakers on the second night of the DNC, during which she lambasted her former boss. Her speech lasted about two minutes.

“When I was press secretary, I got skewered for never holding a White House briefing,” she said. “It’s because, unlike my boss, I never wanted to stand at that podium and lie. Now here I am behind a podium advocating for a Democrat, and that’s because I love my country more than my party. Kamala Harris tells the truth. She respects the American people. And she has my vote.” . . .

Donald Trump had dismissed Grisham’s criticisms ahead of the publication of her memoirs in the fall of 2021, saying she had become “very angry and bitter” after a breakup.

“Stephanie didn’t have what it takes and that was obvious from the beginning,” he said in a statement to the New York Times. “She had big problems and we felt that she should work out those problems for herself. Now, like everyone else, she gets paid by a radical left-leaning publisher to say bad and untrue things.” (Read more from “Trump’s Ex-Spokeswoman Trashes Him at DNC, Endorses Harris” HERE)

WATCH: Obama Appears to Make Crude Hand Gesture While Describing Trump’s ‘Weird Obsession’ With Crowd Sizes

Former President Barack Obama appeared to have referred to the size of his predecessor’s genitalia via a crude hand gesture during his speech.

Obama listed his many criticisms of Trump’s personality ranging from “the childish nicknames.. the crazy conspiracy theories… this weird obsession with crowd sizes.”

When Obama arrived at Trump’s “weird obsession” he placed his hands at a wide distance apart. When he arrived at the word “sizes” Obama narrowed the distance between his hands and looked down, seemingly surprised by the innuendo he had created.

Trump Hits Back After Harris Campaign’s Attack on ‘KKK Capital’ Visit

Former President Donald Trump responded sharply to recent criticism from Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign regarding his visit to Howell, Michigan, a city that has been labeled by Harris’s team as “the KKK capital of Michigan.”

During a recent speech in Howell, Trump was confronted by a reporter who asked him to address the Harris campaign’s claims about his presence in the city. The campaign had criticized Trump for visiting a location linked to white supremacy.

Trump’s retort was immediate and pointed. “Who was here in 2021?” he asked the reporter, prompting boos from the crowd. When the reporter responded that President Joe Biden had visited Howell, Trump simply replied, “Thank you.”

The Harris campaign did not hold back in their criticism of Trump. Alyssa Bradley, communications director for the Harris campaign in Michigan, issued a scathing statement condemning Trump’s visit to Howell. She accused Trump of wanting to take the country “back to the days of the KKK,” framing the visit as a stark choice in the upcoming election.

Additionally, Bradley criticized Trump for not condemning a June protest in Howell where demonstrators reportedly chanted “white supremacist slogans” and expressed support for Trump, including disturbing chants such as “We love Hitler. We love Trump.”

Black Male Swing-State Voters Explain Why They Are Pulling Lever for Trump (VIDEO)

Black male voters in Georgia told Sky News in a Monday video they support former President Donald Trump because of his personality and economic policy.

Trump is currently leading Vice President Kamala Harris in Georgia by 1%, according to the RealClearPolling average. The voters told Sky News U.S correspondent Mark Stone they believe Trump’s bold personality, business acumen and economic track record as president make him an appealing candidate during a video taken at a Columbus, Georgia, outdoor basketball court.

One voter told Stone he is voting for Trump because “he’s our best choice.”

“Some people don’t like it, but I think he a smart businessman,” another voter said. “Some want to call him an a-hole but I think he an excellent a-hole.”

Another voter noted that Trump is “real” and “don’t care what you think about him.” (Read more from “Black Male Swing-State Voters Explain Why They Are Pulling Lever for Trump” HERE)

Man Defies Order From HOA to Take Down Trump Flags and Decorations: ‘I’m Not Going to Be Bullied’

A California man is refusing to take down his pro-Trump flag and decorations after his homeowners’ association ordered him to take them down because they violate the HOA rules.

Paul Wood Bonilla believes the HOA of his residence in Lodi is targeting him because the group’s officials object to the political message.

“I knew that the minute that I started supporting Trump that they were going to give me a hard time,” Bonilla said to KOVR-TV.

Bonilla received a letter from the HOA saying that it restricts signage in excess of three square feet. The letter does not mention the politics of his signage.

“The guy took a bullet for me,” said Bonilla, referring to Trump. “I am going to support him.” (Read more from “Man Defies Order From HOA to Take Down Trump Flags and Decorations: ‘I’m Not Going to Be Bullied'” HERE)

The Lies Have It: Watch Joe Biden Open 2024 DNC With Massive Deception

Joe Biden on Monday night at this year’s Democrat party convention delivered what is expected to be his farewell to the 2024 presidential race, his party’s support and much, much more, including a political career that has spanned decades.

But like myriad earlier speeches, he couldn’t get by without telling a falsehood, or two. Or more.

He criticized “political violence,” but didn’t address the lawfare his party has launched, with multiple court cases against President Donald Trump, including one about possession of classified documents – an offense Biden also committed but for which he faced no charges. But Trump was charged with a long list of counts.

Then he trotted out his story, which is false, about the race violence that happened in Charlottesville, Virginia.

He said, “Extremists coming out of the woods carrying torches. Their veins bulging from their necks. Carrying nasty swastikas. Chanting … antisemitic bile … white supremacists, neo-Nazis.” (Read more from “The Lies Have It: Watch Joe Biden Open 2024 DNC With Massive Deception” HERE)
