Biden’s Own Campaign Accused of Trying to Sabotage Him After Bizarre Post: ‘Are You Hacked?’
The article discusses a gaffe made by President Joe Biden in which he mistakenly called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The campaign’s attempt to downplay the error and turn it into a positive was met with criticism and mockery on social media, with many questioning Biden’s competence and calling for him to end his campaign. Congressional Democrats have also shown hesitation towards Biden’s chances, with some urging him to drop out of the race. Former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain defended Biden’s nomination, citing the democratic process that led to his selection as the leader of the Democratic ticket.

An effort by President Joe Biden’s campaign to turn a Thursday gaffe into a positive failed big time, according to the loud response from social media users.
“President Biden: Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin. President Putin? He’s gonna beat President Putin President Zelenskyy: I’m better President Biden: You’re a hell of a lot better,” the campaign posted on X, offering a transcript of the viral error.
The campaign also posted video of Biden’s error in calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his recovery from the slip.

Coming at a time when Biden’s competence is under extreme scrutiny, the post appeared to many to be an exercise in self-destruction.
“Are you hacked?” a poster using the name greg asked on X.
“Even his own campaign can’t help making fun of him LOL,” Dr. Michael Hunt-Hertz posted on X.

Poster Jessica Bowman was baffled.
“Super weird that you would post this. It is damaging not damage control. Are you trying to make sure your own candidate gets out of the race?” she posted.

It is damaging not damage control.
Are you trying to make sure your own candidate gets out of the race?

“Biden’s own social media team are trying to push him out,” a poster using the name Raheem weighed in.
Congressional Democrats have become increasingly cold on Biden’s chances.
On Friday, Democratic Rep. Brittany Peterson of Colorado joined the ranks of Democrats calling for Biden to end his campaign. According to Forbes, she was the 20th Democrat in Congress to do so.
Former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain sought to push back against the rising tide by citing the Democratic primaries. Of note, Biden ran unopposed or with token opposition in most states.
Biden “is the nominee of the Democratic Party,” he said, according to NBC.
“We had a democratic process. Voters all across the country went and voted in primary after primary, and they voted to renominate Joe Biden as the leader of the Democratic ticket,” Klain said.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them.
Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal.
And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people.
The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.
We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.
But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight.
The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help?
With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans.
We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
Thank you for reading,
Josh Manning
