Forceful pushback from Team Biden not of @LucyFlores but of the license people are taking with photos out context. “These smears and forgeries have existed in the dark recesses of the internet for a while. And to this day, right wing trolls and others continue to exploit them” pic.twitter.com/naIqMf4ASs

This is the exact playbook of AOC on the Green New Deal and the Clinton camp on the emails. Some fakes are out there (usually obvious jokes), so criticism even of the real stuff is suspect by default. https://t.co/smfaKVFfJO

I think ABC should run wall to wall coverage about Biden presidential temperament after this statement.

You know, I just don't think Biden has the temperament to be President. https://t.co/U71KNclfpx

It all sounds very familiar.
Another vast right wing conspiracy?
