Caught on camera. Biden just the vote of the small number of military or their families that actually thought about voting for him.
He didn't call the troops stupid bastards. He called the people not clapping for the troops stupid bastards. BIG difference.
Oh so he wasn't calling the troops behind him stupid bastards, he was calling the troops in front of him stupid bastards. Yeah, thats a big difference.
It was actually a joke and this soundbite really bothers me. The right wing has been trying to meme this soundbite into controversy since something like 2017 and it hasn't happened because the full context makes it extremely clear its a joke related to his previous statements. There are several avenues the right wing could use to attack Biden. He's said several things that even in context are terrible. For example, children rubbing on his hairy legs or not wanting his kids to grow up in a racial jungle. But this soundbite is taken completely out of context. He spent the entire chat groveling to the vets like any good candidate does. This joke was related to something said ~30 seconds prior and everyone is cheering and clapping because in context it was funny. But oh no he said a mean thing to our god loving blue blooded veterans those heroes so now I gotta get angry. Look, GIs might be high school dropouts with no future but they're not stupid enough to clap at an insult. This is just piss poor memery. It's a left wing tier orange man bad meme where they take 10 seconds and dice it up to make Trump look like citrus Hitler. It's a terrible tactic and makes you look like dogshit when you're called out for soundbiting out of context. It's EXACTLY what CNN and MSNBC does.
Well, yeah. If the troops in front of him do not clap for the troops behind him, they are stupid bastards. How's that?
