Remember when Hillary Clinton spoke about many Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables?”
Joe Biden had a little bit of that kind of a moment today while he was campaigning in Pennsylvania.
One of Biden’s pitches is that he’s going to be a unifier.
Except he’s been anything but, as he’s been nasty and lying about the president throughout his campaign. And it’s not only the president who Biden has attacked. He’s the only candidate I think I’ve ever seen actually insult voters to their faces, even essentially threatening to fight them. He’s called voters “fat,” “old,” “dog faced pony soldier,” “full of sh**” and even challenged that autoworker in Michigan to “go outside.” Whenever he is challenged, Biden snaps out at whoever does the challenging. It’s really astounding that Biden is painted by media as the one who is somehow nicer or more controlled, given this.
But he was trying on Saturday to pitch the idea that if he won he would work for all Americans whether they voted for him or not. Except he couldn’t even make it through the remark before he blew it and proved the opposite.

“I’ll work as hard for those who don’t support me as for those who do,” Biden declared. “Including those chumps with the microphone out there.”
Pro tip? Maybe when you want people to vote for you, you don’t call them “chumps” and even if you know they’re voting for the other guy, you don’t insult the Americans who are voting for your opponent.
Immediately, people saw a “deplorables” moment and dubbed themselves “Chumps for Trump.”
So Biden’s going to heal our national political division by…. calling Trump supporters “chumps”?

Joe Biden insults Pennsylvanians who don't support him, calls them "chumps.” He has the same disdain for hard working Americans as Hillary had with her deplorables comment. pic.twitter.com/J0u36tR4a2

Among the many funny parts of this video is that “roar of the crowd” you hear when he comes up with this childish scripted moment. If there were a dozen people watching him it would be a miracle… Proud to be a #ChumpForTrump https://t.co/CuMTWyAxMd

Hey, Pennsylvania, here is your Democrat candidate telling what he thinks of you… pic.twitter.com/buu5VmaAtG

What was really the kicker was what got Biden so steamed there. While there was virtually no one in his rally, they were completely outnumbered by the Trump supporters, waving Trump flags and chanting for Trump.
Incredible. The one public appearance Joe Biden does this weekend is a speech in Pennsylvania that immediately turns into a massive Trump rally/car parade/GOTV event. pic.twitter.com/g2DwkxlYWt

Joe Biden leaving his only public event of the weekend, forced to drive through a Trump rally that drowned out and shut down the speech after he called Trump voters “chumps.” Priceless. pic.twitter.com/PYRu6vtL9L

Oh my. That’s gotta hurt, big time! Could you get a more positive sign for which direction Pennsylvania might be going?
