Biden Closes Election With Urge To Physically ‘Smack’ GOP Voters

President Joe Biden followed his condemnation of half the country as “garbage” last week by publicly fantasizing about giving men who vote for Republicans a “smack.”

At his final campaign stop for Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday, Biden told Pennsylvania voters he’d like to hit “macho guys.”

“There’s one more thing Trump and his Republican friends want to do. They want to have a giant tax cut for the wealthy,” Biden said. “Now, I know some of you guys are tempted to think it’s macho guys.”

“I tell you what, man, when I was in Scranton, we used to have a little trouble going down the plot once in a while,” Biden added. “These are the kinds of guys you’d like to smack in the -ss,” Biden said.

Trump mocked the lame-duck commander-in-chief at a North Carolina event later Saturday night.

“I don’t even know, is he still around?” Trump asked a rally crowd, according to the Associated Press.

Trump also taunted the outgoing president last week after Biden called the Republican nominee’s supporters’ “garbage” as Harris delivered her final arguments on the National Mall.

“Donald Trump has no character,” Biden said on a call with Latino activists. The president referenced a comedian who joked that Puerto Rico was an island of garbage at Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden.

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said.

Trump responded the next day by riding a garbage truck into a Wisconsin rally Wednesday night.

“How do you like my garbage truck?” Trump asked reporters gathered just outside the venue. “This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.”

Trump continued to deliver his speech while dressed as a garbage man.

“250 million Americans are not garbage,” Trump told his supporters.

The White House press staff went on to fraudulently edit an official transcript of the president’s “garbage” remark in a potential violation of the Presidential Records Act. Staffers “rendered the quote with an apostrophe, reading ‘supporter’s’ rather than ‘supporters,’” the AP reported.

The deceptive edit, however, provoked ethical concerns among the official stenographers.

“If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently,” a White House supervisor reportedly wrote in an email. “Our Stenography Office transcript — released to our distro, which includes the National Archives — is now different than the version edited and released to the public by Press Office staff.”

House Republicans wrote a letter to the White House Wednesday over the transcript edit.

“White House staff cannot rewrite the words of the President of the United States to be more politically on message,” wrote Reps. James Comer of Kentucky and Elise Stefanik of New York. “Though President Biden’s relevance continues to diminish, his words continue to matter, even as they become increasingly divisive and erratic.”
