'But other than that, Mrs. Harris, how was your closing speech on the National Mall?'
Sorry, we couldn't resist a 'Lincoln at Ford's Theater' reference after last night's absolute debacle that unfolded as Kamala Harris attempted to make her closing argument to voters.
In case you missed it, the speech itself wasn't anything special. Harris pulled out her usual tricks of pretending to be the candidate of 'change and joy' while she spent most of the time slandering Donald Trump with lies.
Twitchy will have more coverage on the speech today, but here is just a quick excerpt:
🚨Just in: Kamala Harris says in her closing message to America that Donald Trump will put you in camps if you don’t elect her President.

What is your response?

Sigh. Is there anyone who isn't a 'Blue No Matter Who' voter who believes any of this nonsense?
But, hey, speaking of 'the enemy within,' Kamala ...
The REAL story of the night, without question, was Joe Biden. The current President (in case anyone forgot) trampled all over what was supposed to be Harris's 'Barack Obama Moment' by also giving remarks from the White House... while Harris was speaking.
And, Whoa Nellie, did Biden deliver some remarks!
Here is what he said:
Biden tonight in condemning the joke about Puerto Rico.

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his [supporters/supporter’s]–his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”
The WH says Biden was talking about the comedian—“supporter’s”

Hey, no big deal. That's just good old Uncle Joe calling half of America garbage.
(At least we're not Nazis or 'deplorables' anymore, LOL.)

Needless to say, this -- not anything Harris said -- quickly became the story of the night. Again, Twitchy will be covering all of this in detail today, including the media's shameful attempt to try to lie about what Biden said. Stay tuned.
But when something this viral happens, that is the time for the meme masters on Twitter to shine. And shine they did.
Here are some of our favorite reactions to Biden's latest sabotage (intentional or otherwise) of Harris's run for President.

Biden sucked so much oxygen away from Harris, she might as well have been speaking to five people in her living room, not tens of thousands on the National Mall.

Even Clinton's 'basket of deplorables' comment in 2016 paled in comparison to Biden letting it slip what he thinks about anyone who doesn't vote Democrat.

Yep. When they tell us what they think of us, we really should believe them.
Of course, Trump supporters being who they are, they encouraged Trump to embrace the description.
Get in all you garbage patriots.

This would be perfect. If Trump pulled another McDonald's and did a shift later this week as a garbage collector, he might win every single electoral vote in the country on November 5.

It's too bad Puerto Rico doesn't have any electoral votes and can't vote for President. He'd probably win those too.
Trump supporters also wanted to lean into Biden's description of them.

Look at that little guy. He's adorable.
But no matter how much conservatives showed that Biden's insults can't hurt us, there was still no question that his statement demolished Harris.
Whether he meant to or not is still up for debate.

We can't imagine the reaction from Team Harris, but it might have been something like this:

As we mentioned before, the media's attempt to cover for Biden has turned into just as big a scandal as what the President actually said.
Half the people in this country aren't garbage

Yep. And just like that, no one is talking about a comedian anymore. Well done, Biden!
Later, when Biden's intern (or maybe it was Karine Jean-Pierre) tried to tweet an explanation for the garbage comment from Biden's official account, the best meme of the night dropped, thanks to @grandoldmemes and the famous 'J.D. Vance Face.'

HAHAHAHA.
And there it is. Perfection.
One thing is for sure, this story is not going away anytime soon. And with less than one week to go before the polls close on Election Night, we can pretty confidently say that Joe Biden calling half of America garbage is not the closing message that Kamala Harris had in mind.
By the way, did we mention that J.D. Vance is going on Joe Rogan's podcast today?
Wonder what they are going to talk about ...
Stay tuned to Twitchy today for more coverage of the Harris campaign's terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad night.
