White House (Poorly) Spins Biden’s ‘Lock Trump Up’ Remark

One of the most infuriating things about the Biden-Harris team is how much they lie. Just bald-faced lies to the American people, ridiculous, demonstrable lies, as though they think you're too stupid to figure it out.

Joe Biden said on Tuesday at a campaign event for Kamala Harris in New Hampshire that they should lock Trump up. What he says here is bizarre. First, note, he wonders away from the mic, so he goes off camera too. He can't retain that he's supposed to stay at the podium to be filmed. 

Biden claims Trump wants to "replace every civil servant." Trump never said that, but he said he wanted to reduce government, which everyone should want. But Democrats don't because then they can't have the never-ending opening gravy train. Then he claims that Trump thinks he can shoot anyone he believes would be a threat to him. Another bizarre thing out of Joe's twisted mind that Trump has never said. 

Then he said, "We have to lock him up." Perhaps understanding he went too far, he then tried to cover himself saying "Politically lock him up." 

But this is the reality: While they try to smear Trump with all kinds of fake stories, this is what Biden is actually saying. As his political opponent is being prosecuted, and it's very clear that they do want to "politically lock him up" and interfere in his ability to campaign.

On Wednesday, White House press secretary and special adviser Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about this statement by Biden, and she completely changed what he actually said to cover for him. She said Biden "spoke about this very clearly." You know whenever she says that, it's the signal that he did NOT speak about it "very clearly" -- at least not in the way that she means. 

She claims he said "lock him out politically" -- which is not what he said. 

He said "lock him UP" and then amended it to "lock him UP politically," which doesn't make it much better. Very different wording. 

She also dropped the Democrat talking point of the day/ridiculous October surprise, the smear that Trump was "praising Hitler."

This has now been debunked all over the place.

Trump has already been president and hasn't been a fascist, so no one believes this bull anymore. He was also speaking metaphorically only on day one, not saying he was going to be a real "dictator." They know that but they spin anyway. 

But they don't have a lot left, so as we said they would, they're pulling out all the same old shtick to smear Trump and trying to whip up the hatred and the mania about him. They don't care how that might influence violent people, all they care about is holding onto power.
