Biden Campaign Tries to Hit Back at Trump with Attack Video, But It Instantly Backfires
By Bryan Chai July 12, 2024 at 5:07pm
Hey, remember when former first lady Michelle Obama bloviated at the 2016 DNC about taking the high road when their opponents go low?
In theory, it’s a sound bite that certainly seems noble enough.
In practice, the left hasn’t exactly been following that mantra — not that that should surprise anyone.
But, oh, at least the campaign of President Joe Biden has remained on the up-and-up.
As the left keeps reminding everyone after Biden’s inept debate performance on June 27, sure, he may have the mental acuity of a comatose llama, but at least he’s a really good guy, unlike that GOP meanie-face.
(“Good guy.” Yeah, right.)
About that.
Perhaps due to that aforementioned debate performance — and ensuing fallout — it appears that the low road is just perfectly fine for the Biden campaign, after all.
The Biden-Harris HQ account on social media platform X, which calls itself “the official rapid response page of the Biden-Harris campaign,” posted a two-minute long attack video that tried (key word there) to turn the tables on former President Donald Trump, who is Biden’s chief political rival and the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
How did this video attack try to accomplish this? By chronicling a number of Trump verbal gaffes, clearly trying to suggest that there are two comatose llamas in this election.
“Here is a montage of a feeble Trump confusing names over and over and over again,” the account posted.
You can see the video for yourself below:

The video included a handful of Trump slip-ups, like when he kept calling Nikki Haley “Nancy Pelosi,” and when he called Apple CEO Tim Cook “Tim Apple,” among other examples.
Ooh. They really got Trump, now …
… Right?
Turns out that calling attention to verbal gaffes when that’s one of your own candidate’s greatest issues isn’t the soundest strategy, if immediate social media responses were any indication.
“A montage of Biden would be over 2 hours long,” one X user responded (more on this shortly).
Another user posted a five-minute of Biden blunders, and retorted: “Not quite the same thing as what Biden is doing in these clips. But you guys go ahead with your lying. Your followers seem to enjoy being lied to.”
“Bidens blunders are FAR worse,” yet another X user posted.
One X user drummed up one of Biden’s more painful gaffes during Thursday’s “big boy” NATO conference:

Oh, and remember that X user who said a Biden montage would be “over 2 hours long”? A different X user proved that post correct, by sharing an eye-popping two-and-a-half hour cut of Biden gaffes.
To say that this cheap stunt backfired would be an understatement, but should anyone be surprised at this point?
Honestly, the best political strategy for Trump at this point may be to just chill out at Mar-a-Lago until November. Biden and his team can’t stop stepping on rakes as they aimlessly (is Biden still the “good guy” or is he cool slinging mud now?) shamble — not unlike the incumbent himself — toward a November general election that’s fixing to end rather poorly for the Democrats.
Seriously. Why interrupt your opponent’s self-immolation?
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
