One of presidential candidate Joe Biden's latest advertisements came under fire on Twitter this weekend, with many calling it racist and xenophobic for its rhetoric surrounding China and the novel coronavirus. The ad explicitly targets President Trump's response to the coronavirus, criticizing President Trump for being too soft and trusting of the Chinese government during the early stages of the pandemic.
It positions Biden as his hypothetical foreign policy foil, showing a clip of Biden saying, "I would be on the phone with China making it clear: We are going to need to be in your country. You have to be open. You have to be clear. We have to know what's going on."
The Atlantic's Peter Beinart called those comments a "jingoistic fantasy," writing that "in suggesting that Biden could bludgeon China into submission - in a phone call, no less - the Biden campaign is peddling a lie about how public-health cooperation with China actually works." The advertisement itself appears to be a response to Trump's recent anti-Biden ads, which accuse the Vice President of being soft on China.
At the same time, the ad's rhetoric casts China's government - and its people - as untrustworthy, linking the American crisis to Trump putting trust in Chinese government officials. The advertisement states that the President "rolled over for the Chinese" - as opposed to "Chinese President Xi Jinping" or "the Chinese government" - failing to differentiate between the government and its people in what some are calling an unfair generalization.

Huh?
Those people are wasting their time getting mad about the wrong things. Go for it, then. Burn your candles out now, early in the campaign year.
“I want vanilla pudding today.”
Trump ‘rolled over for the Chinese’?
Classic Democrat accusation of what they themselves are doing.
Hopefully people can see through this nonsense by now.
“This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia,” Biden said during a March 2020 Iowa campaign event.
There’s no consistency like inconsistency.
When Biden threw his hat into the 2020 ring, Biden came out swinging.
He mocked President Donald Trump's position on China at a campaign rally.
BIDEN: “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man...they can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact
that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east, I mean in the west.”
Biden continued "they can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system.
I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not, they’re not competition for us.”

Joe’s dementia is on an accelerated time table. He will have to pick a VP candidate quickly while he can still articulate. I give it 2 months or less. He is not going to make it to any type of convention or debate. Delaware’s governor is saying May 15 maybe later. Once his state opens Joe will have to get out in public more. This is a disaster for the Dems and a joy to behold.
I’m angry. I can’t even think of Biden as a potent political opponent anymore. Now all I can do is feel sorry for him. Makes me think that was the intent all along. I’ve been able to dislike him since he fist appeared on the scene in the US Senate in 1973. I lived in Delaware at the time. Dupont boy beat an opponent who didn’t even want to run by a little over 3000 votes. Now he’s just sad.
Joe forgot that Hunter got a billion dollars from the Chinese to by up the business they wanted to own..
“I want vanilla pudding today.”
********************************
Joe, eat your jello. I promise you can have vanilla pudding tomorrow.
If Trump said that I'm 100% sure that the NYT and CNN would have this headline: "Trump threatens to invade China!!!"
Democrats - there ain’t no shame in their game!
So how can Trump be racist for going after China?
Now that's all wrong, Joe's actual quote was "Look Dr. Jill(he calls her Dr. and sometimes sister), I made Chocolate pudding."
The people running Joes campaign must be really smoking some strong stuff to put this kind of crap out.
“I want vanilla pudding today.”
“I’m sorry, Joe, all we have is Butterscotch today.”
“WAAAAAAAA. I WANT vanilllllaaaaa. WAAAAAAA”
