On Thursday night, Joe Biden accepted the Democratic nomination and with just 75 days to go until Election Day, Biden gave the speech of his life. By nearly all accounts, the convention exceeded expectations and the Biden speech was humble, touching, genuine, and tough. Looking into the camera, Biden laid out a plan to attack COVID-19 and get the country back on track, both economically and morally.
Biden’s speech was so strong that even the folks at Fox News gave glowing reviews. From Chris Wallace to Dana Pireno, who served as the White House press secretary for George W. Bush, to even Karl Rove, the reviews were unanimous: Biden flawlessly delivered the speech of his life and Donald Trump is in trouble. Take a listen to just some of the glowing reviews on the most unlikely of channels.
Only a short while later, it was time for the Laura Ingraham show. You may recall that Ingraham was actually a speaker at the RNC convention in 2016, famously giving a questionable wave-salute to the crowd that raised a lot of eyebrows after she made the following remarks:
“To all my friends up there in the press: You all know why, in your heart, Donald Trump won the nomination. You know it. You know why he won it? Because he dared to call out the phonies, the frauds, and the corruption that has gone unexposed and uncovered for far too long. Too long! Do your job!”
Laughable, right? I mean, these people take projection to unimaginable levels, don’t they?
So after Biden’s speech, Ingraham invited Fail-Son #1 on the program to dissect the speech, and even Ingraham had to admit that Biden’s speech “exceeded expectations.” As she made this comment, you could see Junior deflate right there before our eyes.
Of course Junior pivoted back to their main campaign talking point: desperately trying to project every flaw, all the corruption, all the nepotism onto Biden. There’s no clearer example then hearing Junior, without a hint of irony whatsoever, talk about how Biden’s son, brother, and sister have all enriched themselves off of Biden’s career. I shit you not. Take a listen.
They are throwing everything at the wall hoping something sticks.
