Here’s a perfect little example of how hard it’s been, recently, for Trumpworld to nail Biden. Yesterday, Trumpworld focused on Biden’s @AdyBarkan interview to suggest (based on chopping up a quote) that Biden thought police were “the enemy.” (1/4)
Biden actually said that police can “become the enemy” in a community’s view if they roll in w military equipment.
The Trump campaign and GOP House groups. A super PAC put out statements asking if swing seat House Dems would “speak out against Biden’s latest insanity.” (2/4)
But that didn’t get the expected coverage. As of this morning, the “enemy” quote got stories in Newsmax, CNS, Fox, Epoch Times, Breitbart, and Townhall - conservative media, but not the sort of stuff a swing voter might stumble across. (3/4)
Meanwhile, Breitbart followed its “enemy” story with one about… a radio host blaming Biden for militarizing the police. (4/4)
If you want to argue "of course the media protected Democrats," yadda yadda, consider the many Trump stories (Russian bounties! Bolton!) that faded after a couple news cycles. It's hard to make anything stick but it's gotten especially hard vis-a-vis Biden.
