Joe Biden’s “you ain’t black” comments are making the rounds, though you’d never know it if you were only paying attention to the media Old Guard. Or if you were watching his rapid response director’s Twitter feed.
They way @AndrewBatesNC is rapidly responding to The Breakfast Club interview is by rapidly retweeting clips from every other Biden interview that's not that one.

Seriously, this is the Biden material that’s on Andrew Bates’ timeline today:
First to @NBCNews: @JoeBiden's campaign launched a new digital ad charging that Pres. Trump has reacted to the pandemic like a “deer in the headlights" & has been "too scared to act, too panicked to tell the truth, too weak to lead. Read & watch it here: https://t.co/NNVCicl1XF

New ad, “Deer in the headlights”: “Panicked at the thought of what a stock market collapse could mean to his re-election, [Trump] failed to act and the virus got out of control and shut down the nation and crushed the economy.” https://t.co/begTXna50t

"Today would’ve been my uncle Harvey Milk’s 90th birthday. This November, we can carry on his legacy. In @JoeBiden, we have the opportunity to stand on Harvey’s shoulders and continue his life’s work."
We are so grateful, @StuartMilk.

.@JoeBiden on @CNBC says he still plans to reverse Trump tax cut and raise capital gains tax. "Let's use the money to invest in the middle class. … I've got a novel idea? How about some relief for Main Street?"

Last night on the @colbertlateshow, @JoeBiden rips into Trump’s response to the crisis, telling @StephenAtHome:

"The silence on our part has been devastating," Biden says when asked about China taking steps to further crack down on government protests in Hong Kong. Says he'd be at the UN with his ambassador now calling them out, hits Trump for his affection for authoritarians

Asked if he would break up Amazon, Biden says: "I think Amazon should start paying their taxes? I don't think any company, I don't give a damn how big they are, Lord Almighty, should absolutely be in a position where they pay no tax."
— Mike Memoli (@mikememoli) May 22, 2020
.@JoeBiden on @SquawkCNBC: "What about those stores along Main Street in those small cities and towns?…The biggest corporate bailout in American history is asking next to nothing of corporate America…I am focused on keeping people employed…We can build back better." pic.twitter.com/5CLf4vONvQ

The boss telling hard truths to corporate America:
"I don't think any company, I don't give a damn how big they are…should be in a position where they pay no taxes and make billions and billions…of dollars…Companies should start paying their employees a decent wage." pic.twitter.com/uO9KbcNxWA

.@JoeBiden on @CNBC this morning:
“The vast majority of American people suffering right now, they don’t measure their public health, their physical security and their economy stability based on the market”https://t.co/VbJuxtBNY2

.@JoeBiden takes on Trump's tax giveaways to Wall Street and big corporations: "Here’s the deal, tell me how many people are investing that tax break they had in new jobs. Give me your numbers, man. Come on. Let’s get real, people are hurting." https://t.co/DKDA5iT98M

There are also a few tweets about Trump basically killing people by touting hydroxychloroquine.
Guess there are just some things that don’t merit a rapid response.
Catherine Herridge needs to tweet out The Breakfast Club interview so that Biden's team angrily acknowledges it.
— Kate Hyde (@KateHydeNY) May 22, 2020
Ha! Maybe that’ll do the trick!
