Trump ad snips Biden’s comments on taxes out of context
Washington Post ^ | Oct 26 2020 | Glenn Kessler

Posted on 10/26/2020 4:56:58 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

“If you elect me, your taxes are going to be raised, not cut.”

"And here’s how it works. I’m going to raise taxes.”

“You’re going to get a tax raise.”

— Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, misleadingly quoted in a Trump television ad, released Oct. 19

The Trump presidential campaign is the master of the mischievous clip job. Time after time, the president’s campaign has released ads that snip and clip Biden’s speeches and remarks to make the former vice president appear to say the opposite of what he was saying....

But Biden is not planning to raise everyone’s taxes — and the Trump campaign knows this. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so quick with the scissors.

The Trump campaign earns Four Pinocchios.

The compost is all in trying to cover for Biden. Those are exact quotes from Biden. Moreover if Biden gets rid of the Trump tax cuts that will increase taxes on most people, not just those making over $400K.

When you have to spend paragraphs trying to put things in "context" (meaning lies), you have lost.

The washpiss is FOS. I saw the complete statement and it is exactly what he said. Meanwhile here bidet is running ads featuring a chopped quote of trump saying he will end health care.

Did the WashPost correct Biden’s statements regarding the Charlottsville violence, where Trump denounced all the extreme sides of the political spectrum?

When it comes to taxes, Trump quoted Biden exactly right.

What next? Biden is not really going to ban fracking? The laptop from hell is a myth?

The proper context would be to show that Biden is a demented fool.

Biden runs ads based on totally fabricated “news” stories but that’s ok.

Sorry, WaPo, but the days of anyone of reasonable intelligence believing you are far gone.

Shove it.

Odd when it comes to a damaging quote from Senile Joe, the Post decides to apply Marquess of Queensbury rules for its review. When it comes to quoting “anonymous sources” on far wilder accusations about Trump, the Post’s and M. Kessler’s standards are lower than the National Enquirer’s ever were.

The WashingCIA Post is the official propaganda channel of the Deep State.

If you want to know where the Deep State is going on any given topic, consult the WashingCIA Post.

He promised to do away with Trumps tax cuts, with which practically everyone got a break. That would count as an increase in taxes...

Wrong! He will raise the top rate on the rich and also plans to do away with the Trump tax cuts that also cut taxes on the middle class by 1000s of dollars.

Everybody will take a hit on taxes that pays taxes.

You are absolutely correct on that one. I was trying to explain that to one of the numbnuts across the street from me yesterday. He said I don’t make 400K and I don’t think you do either, which would be correct, so I am not worried! That was after I pointed out my wife’s and my joint taxes decreased about 4K under Trump’s plan and when his “plan” goes into effect, they will go up at least that much.

You just cannot fix stupid.

Channel surfing last night I ran into a Biden ad. He was standing there lying his a&# of- saying Trump was going to end SS and putting the fear of God into seniors.

They did this when Romney was running against “O’bozo” !!

It’s shameless and also insulting to intelligent people.

When a reasonable person hears these clips they will assume that Biden meant some peoples taxes will be raised but not all. We understand the tax system is comolex and has different rules for different income levels and all. Larger context only has to be given to idiots in this case.

Overturning the Trump tax cuts will raise taxes on everyone, as Joe says, PERIOD.
