Marc Lotter, the director of strategic communications for President Trump’s reelection campaign, seemed to forget his candidate’s propensity for bending the truth — or worse — on Friday morning.
During an appearance on Fox News, Lotter suggested that former Vice President Joe Biden’s failure to accurately tell a story about his encounter with a war hero, instead conflating several stories, suggests Biden is unfit for office.
“Unfortunately, I know a lot of people say these are gaffes, but it’s clearly a problem with Joe Biden. He gets about every detail wrong in a couple of minutes about this war story,” Lotter said on Fox News when asked about a Washington Post story detailing Biden’s incorrect telling of stories from Iraq and Afghanistan.
“He can’t remember who the prime minister of the United Kingdom is. He couldn’t remember what state he was in a couple of weeks ago. These are not gaffes,” Lotter continued. “It is a problem with Joe Biden, and it’s causing a lot of Democrats to start to rethink their front runner.”
Yet, it’s hard to take Lotter’s criticism seriously when Trump repeatedly makes false statements with abandon.
Lotter is a heartless sophist. That said:
Oh nice, the “poor old Joe’s gone and lost his marbles…” attacks are picking up steam. I imagine we’ll start hearing, “Joe is starting to look awfully frail!” soon as well.
This should be very easy for Biden to handle, given Trump’s lies. I would even say that it’s a golden opportunity. The question, as always, is whether a Democrat can figure out the riposte and stick to it.
I hate to say it but Lotter is right. Republicans don’t give a shit about who their candidate is, but Democrats do care. Biden would be an utter and complete disaster as a candidate. Sure, he’s better than Trump, but Trump isn’t running as a Democrat and Republicans don’t give a shit about how crazy their candidate is. Saying that Biden doesn’t embellish the truth as often as Trump is completely irrelevant. Democrats won’t support Trump light, ever!
Thanks for the heartfelt advice, asswipe.
