The mainstream media is so excited that Joe Biden emerged from hiding today. No, not to take their questions, but to finally condemn the violence that is rocking Democrat-run cities like Portland and shift the blame to President Trump. CNN, whose fact-checker got bored during the Democratic National Convention because he couldn’t detect any untruths, reports that Biden condemned the violence in Portland — which is weird, considering that the Democrats have assured us for months it is a peaceful protest — and challenged Trump to do the same.
We understand CNN summarizing Biden’s speech for the tweet, but could they at least have found something slightly truthful? You know, like how they always add WITHOUT EVIDENCE to their chyrons whenever Trump says anything?

When I first read this, I thought it was a tweet from Biden's spokesperson
— Mike Moss (@_MikeMoss) August 31, 2020
CNN is his spokesperson.

He’s only 90 days late to the party.

Surprised he didn’t do it at the week long DNC. Must’ve forgot…?♂️

"Challenges?" @POTUS has been offering federal law enforcement assistance for months! What better way to condemn the riots then by taking tangible action, and not simply give window dressing!
— Stephen A. Cuevas (@CuevasStephenA) August 31, 2020
Didn’t the governor or mayor send a letter to @POTUS declining any federal help?
— Sofia (@Sofiap1) August 31, 2020
The President has condemned this. He has offered to help many times, only to have the Mayor and the Governor tell him NO!!!!!!!

Now he condemns them when the polls fall.

Last week CNN was bitching that @realDonaldTrump tweeted “Law and Order” 10 times. Now they act like he doesn’t condemn the violence?
— Emporer Todd (@Buckeyes_Fan_77) August 31, 2020
So I guess they weren't peaceful protests after all.

CNN filling as Biden's spokesperson I see
— Kolekzionera (@Angelov92A) August 31, 2020
I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe.
The coordinated gaslighting by Dems/media that is happening is 1984-esque.
It's almost impressive how brazen these people are. https://t.co/GuDyRcEUz4

I know right ?! It’s mind boggling ???
— WendyWilliams (@wenswms) August 31, 2020
They didn’t touch it during the entire DNC
— Garbo Swift (@Garbo824) August 31, 2020
They all have amnesia
— Roseanna Sturtevant (@FriendRoseanna) August 31, 2020
They're trying to drag us all into the Twilight Zone with them.
— Kate Schmidt (@330_schmidt) August 31, 2020
You have to give it to them they're all on the same page they spread the word like wildfire
— RNH?? (@RNHAAP) August 31, 2020
This gaslighting is epic proportions from every angle. This is going to backfire so badly.
— Just An Observer (@USATrump4eva) August 31, 2020
Not impressive. Pure desperation.
— 68EmSznne (@shesparky) August 31, 2020
Sadly, I know from my Dem friends that people will believe that everything was peaceful until Trump got involved. It is so discouraging that there are people who still believe that CNN/NYT/WaPo are telling them the truth.

This has got to be parody…
— Stevie McQueenie (@2007britspears) August 31, 2020
This is a joke, right?
— K245 (@AJHodgeIV) August 31, 2020
Was I in a different dimension when Trump condemned the riots multiple times?
— Dustin Phillips (@DustinP89) August 31, 2020
He has been. For 3 months. It isn’t his fault that @tedwheeler is a sham and refuses help.
— ??KitKat (@KitkatNurse) August 31, 2020
He's been doing it for 3 months!!! You probably don't remember or don't know when the riots, looting and crime started #BidenDementia #PoorJoe
— letsbefranks (@letsbefranks) August 31, 2020
Trump did 3 months ago. Biden leading from behind per norm.
— James (@JamesD_95) August 31, 2020
LOL 90 days later Biden wakes up to bad polling. @realDonaldTrump has condemned from Day 1!
— Donna (@DJD994) August 31, 2020
And we have plenty of tweets from petulant Democratic mayors to prove it. They get really touchy when Trump points out the violence in their cities.
