As Twitchy told you last night, Joe Biden appeared to forget the name of the guy he’s ostensibly campaigning against:
WATCH: Joe Biden confuses President Trump with George Bush.

But never fear! When Joe Biden finds himself in an awkward situation, there are always some brave firefighters standing by to help:
1.1 million views and a Fox story based on the premise that Biden was confusing Trump with George Bush.
He was talking to George Lopez. (Clip in next tweet) pic.twitter.com/Y0poyu0ejS

Biden was talking to comedian George Lopez for a Latino turnout event. This tweet is fraudulent misinformation put out by the Trump campaign to mislead their own followers. It's pathetic and sad. https://t.co/OhI97OBU4J

Just watch the video! Clearly Joe Biden was referring to George Lopez. It’s so obvious:

This is all just the Trump campaign putting words in Joe Biden’s mouth that Biden didn’t actually say despite the fact that we all heard him say them! So shut up!

The Trump campaign has literally no substantive response to Biden. All they have left now are 30-second video clips they've deceptively edited to misrepresent Biden as a dementia-addled vegetable. That's all they've got. They think you're stupid and easily misled.

What's makes this truly pathetic is that the entire "Biden can't talk" line has completely blown up in the Trump campaign's face since the DNC and the debates, where Biden did just fine. But they just have nothing else, so they keep going through the motions anyway. It's sad. https://t.co/npDYnMgIBj

Oh, we dunno, Yair. We’ve been listening to Joe Biden for quite some time now and it sure doesn’t sound like he can talk all that well.
Here's the thing: None of this stuff actually matters. Few voters care about these dumb Twitter beefs over Biden videos. They are not voting on Twitter beefs. They are voting on the virus, the economy, healthcare, and presidential temperament. Twitter is a distraction from that.

The Trump campaign's obsession with niche Twitter feuds and trollish posting is one of the reasons it is so disconnected from the American electorate and unable to reach them. Biden, meanwhile, who probably doesn't even know how to use Twitter, doesn't have this problem. https://t.co/801uiAmP2b

Well, at least Yair’s accidentally acknowledging that Joe Biden’s not actually the one sending out all those coherent — albeit platitudinous — tweets from his official account.
In any event, we’re not really sure what journos like Dave Weigel, Yair Rosenberg, and Jake Tapper think they’re accomplishing here. Like, we know they’re trying their damnedest to defend Joe Biden’s honor from that nasty Trump campaign, but apparently they’re too blinded by their righteous outrage to realize that their defense of Biden actually reinforces the idea that Uncle Joe’s not all there.

"Four more years of George, uh, George, uh…"
So did he accidentally call Trump "George" or does he think George Lopez is President?
Those seem like the only 2 possibilities. https://t.co/5EyE7lnyzK

So he was saying "four more years of George Lopez", Dave? Get real. The only person here "confusing" people is you. And as per the norm, your "reporter" friends are rolling with this. https://t.co/MdPuruSAFE

We all know what Joe Biden said. And as has been pointed out above, there’s really no explanation that makes Biden look good.
Are you kidding?
His exact quote:
"Four more years of George… George…uh…”
He was NOT referring to George Lopez.
Now, I said earlier this wasn't a huge deal, but lets not fool ourselves about what happened. And its not the first time. https://t.co/Z9rgh69Zvi

It’s definitely not the first time. And it won’t be the last.
Same can be said about the media humiliating themselves in order to push their preferred narrative.

The Guardians of Truth rushing to Joe Biden’s rescue ultimately can’t help him. And they most certainly can’t help themselves.
Watching these guys do this for the next four years is almost worth Biden winning
— Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) October 26, 2020
Boy if journos are going to work as hard to cover every Biden mental gaffe over the next 4 years like they are doing "4 more years of uhh.. George.." they are going to be biz-zay.

Update:
Ana Navarro’s not a journalist, but she enjoys pretending to be someone who should be taken seriously, so she’s worth including in this post:
This is a damn lie.
But that won’t stop them
This is the kind of unethical crap they do to spread false narratives.@JoeBiden was responding to a direct question from @georgelopez.
I know because I was there. https://t.co/eBYpEXqicl pic.twitter.com/3BP7zL2Cle— Ana Navarro-Cárdenas (@ananavarro) October 26, 2020
Who’s spreading false narratives, Ana?
