A new Trump super PAC will launch a $30 million ad campaign to portray Biden as “condoning” crime & killings of police officers, boosted by the mastermind of the Kerry swiftboating & backed by biggest GOP donors like Adelson & Marcus.

I realize it’s all they have, but it’s such a stupid line.
For starters, Biden has repeatedly denounced violence. He did on May 31, on June 2, etc. pic.twitter.com/9uXUTknIh4— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) August 31, 2020
Second of all, given Biden’s role in the 1994 crime bill and Harris’s past as a prosecutor, it’s an even harder sell.
If anything, this is a gift to a ticket that’s been trying to shore up their left flank which mistrusts then on this issue above all.— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) August 31, 2020
And most of all, it’s laughable for an incumbent to run on a “law and order” campaign, blaming your challenger for the chaos happening while you’re in charge.https://t.co/xQWAGBl1oj— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) August 31, 2020
But I guess it’s all they’ve got.
180,000+ dead from a botched pandemic response, and an inherited economy cratering. Might as well try this.— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) August 31, 2020
Per an excerpt of his prepared remarks, @JoeBiden is expected to say in Pittsburgh today, "This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence – because for years he has fomented it."— Sarah Mucha (@sarahmucha) August 31, 2020
