In case you aren’t following the fever swamps, here’s a little example of what he’s talking about:
President Trump’s eldest son on Saturday posted a social media message suggesting Joseph R. Biden Jr. was a pedophile, an incendiary and baseless charge that illustrates the tactics the president is turning to as he attempts to erase Mr. Biden’s early advantage in key state polls.
Donald Trump Jr., who is one of his father’s most prominent campaign surrogates, put on Instagram a picture of Mr. Biden saying: “See you later, alligator” alongside an image of an alligator saying: “In a while, pedophile.”
When a reporter shared the Instagram post online, the younger Mr. Trump, echoing one of his father’s tactics, wrote on Twitter that he was only “joking around” and noted that he had included emojis of a laughing face.
Yet in the same Twitter post, he also reprised his original insinuation. He accused the former vice president of “unwanted touching” alongside a collage of photographs of Mr. Biden showing affection for children. The misleading images were mostly taken from public swearing-in ceremonies at the Capitol, where the former vice president warmly greeted lawmakers and their families.
Pedophilia is a MAGA obsession, so much so that you really have to wonder about projection. Recall that they also accused Hillary Clinton of pedophilia resulting in one of the braindead cultists showing up with a gun at a Washington DC pizza parlor these fools had insisted was the center of Clinton’s child sex trafficking ring. It was just lucky that someone wasn’t killed.
Don Jr is a monster. His brother is simply delusional:
It’s only May. This isn’t going to get any better. Here’s the kind of swill circulating in the fever swamps. Maybe it’s Russian bots. But we know who the audience is for sure:
If the rest of the media follow Tapper’s lead and refuse to go down the grotesque Biden smear rabbit hole it will help a great deal. But this stuff is all over social media and it’s only the beginning.
Any hope of Trump’s cult behaving responsibly in the pandemic and not spreading it like wildfire is way too optimistic. They will be focused like a laser on smearing Biden in the most odious ways possible.
And it will come from the very top.
