It seems clear that the Democrats have decided that their way to regain support after Biden's poll numbers have been crashing is seven words: Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie and Lie.
So far today, Joe Biden gave a speech in which he denounced the Trump plan to cut back Social Security by 2023. The problem, of course, is that there is no such plan. Indeed, Trump has promised repeatedly (as he also did in 2016) that he would protect Social Security from any cuts. Biden is just making it up. Now it is true that for many decades, the Democrats used to trot out this same lie to use against Republicans, but that stopped around 20 years ago, because no one believed the lie anymore. Maybe Biden said this because he is still stuck in the past. Still, in his first foray outside the bunker in many months, one would think that Biden would have more to say than just repeating old obvious lies.
Also today, we got a whopper from Cole Leiter who is Communications Director for the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee. Leiter, remember, is the guy in charge of communications for all Democrats in Congress. In any event, Leiter decided to comment on something that the White House Press Secretary said about events in Kenosha. Leiter said this:
"Not only did Republicans vote overwhelmingly against bipartisan police reform, but they are fueling violence from the White House."
Think about that. Republicans voted overwhelmingly against bipartisan police reform according to this Democrat in charge of communications. Of course, the problem is that the Senate never actually got to vote on police reform bills because the Democrats blocked consideration of those bills. In June, the Senate Republicans tried to bring up bills on police reform under a rule that would have let any senator propose amendments to the measure under consideration. In other words, any proposal by either a Democrat or a Republican would have been considered. Democrats objected to taking up that bill. As a result 60 votes were needed to proceed to considering police reform. Every Democrat in the Senate voted against considering the police reform bills. That means not only did Republicans NOT vote against bipartisan police reform, but that it was Democrats who voted unanimously against considering police reform.
Lies don't get much bigger than this one.
It's hard to believe that the best Democrats have is a pack of lies. How can a party with nothing to offer but lies and violence in the streets hope to govern effectively?
