"Yesterday, I covered the disturbingly viral video from President Joe Biden in which he didn't blink
for nearly 20 seconds as he made some digs at former President Donald Trump and blabbered on
about how "you can't be pro-insurrection and pro-cop, you can't be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy, you can't be pro-insurrection and pro-American." Well, as it turns out, there was more
footage, as our friends at Twitchy covered, and it contains sloppy cuts.". . .
. . ."A major complaint from the video published Tuesday afternoon was that the president didn't blink,
once. His voice also sounded croaky and hoarse though.
While Biden does blink in the raw footage video, his voice remains problematic. It even sounds like
he's slurring his words. "This law does so much more, it saves lives, including yours," he says at one
point. "It'll help you do your job, but it's just a start," he says at another.
The additional footage also gives deeper context to Biden referencing being "pro-cop," despite how
members of his party have supported defunding the police.
"Last week, I rolled out by Safer America plan, with a goal of doing three key things," Biden shared,
including "taking additional commonsense steps to reduce gun crimes and violence."
It's worth reminding that to the president, and Vice President Kamala Harris, "commonsense steps"
include a ban on so-called assault weapons, even though fellow Democratic lawmakers acknowledge
that's not practical.
Many responses point to the particularly poor editing job". . .
Andrea Widberg "Kamala Harris attended a meeting with disability rights leaders and promptly made a fool of herself by announcing her pronouns and telling what color suit she’s wearing. By doing so, she was copying two obnoxious leftist trends and outing herself as a follower who can never be a serious leader.
"I don’t need to tell you about the “announcing of the pronouns” trend because that’s been sickening us for years now. Another less common trend is for speakers to describe a little bit about their skin and hair coloring and their clothes for the visually impaired. I have friends who are blind, and I find it difficult to believe that this brief description really matters to them for the simple reason that, by virtue of being blind, they inhabit a mental world that usually isn’t big on colors. Theirs is more of an auditory world than a visual one.
"These little announcements are pure virtue signaling, highlighting the speaker’s exquisite sensitivity. They're also a good way to force the issue of race on people who, by rights, don't need to be burdened by such considerations. (Just think of Dave Chappelle's brilliant black white supremacist shtick.)
"To set the scene, everyone at the meeting was doing the pronouns and self-description shtick:". . .
