He does say this. I’ve heard him say exactly what you have suggested, numerous times.
But it’s not sticking. He needs to kill it.
I may have been harsh when I said the messaging system of Team Trump wasn’t working, they did a good job of nipping the Olivia Troye scam in the bud.
They hit hard at the graveside comments lie, but they didn’t kill it. That lie came up at the ABC Town Hall, and Biden is still using it. Trump’s answer at the town hall that he merely just didn’t say it, and there were 15-20 people there just didn’t come across clearly. This has been effectively debunked.
It has been effectively proven to be a hoax, so why is Biden still getting away with it, and why are they letting him?
This Hunter thing is strong medicine, but it will get buried in the refrain of the “he killed 200,000” lie.
