Happy All Saints Day!

It’s rather fitting that today is Halloween, since Joe Biden will be haunting Kamala Harris for the rest of her days.

The 11th Key Moment: Biden Calls Trump Supporters “Garbage”

Over the past week, Al’s Afternoon Tea has featured the 10 Key Moments from the 2024 presidential campaign season. Thanks to Joe Biden, we have a bonus key moment: Him calling Trump supporters “garbage.”

Why is it a key moment?

First, it crystalizes in one line what has been obvious since Biden’s first day in the Oval Office … and, actually for the past several years. For all his “Scranton Joe” persona, Biden detests a vast majority of the American people. (And considers the rest of us suckers. But that’s another topic for another time.) Though Biden is not on the ballot anymore, he still represents the Swamp and elitist snobs who consider the average American “lower than.” Remember Peter Strzok’s remark about smelling the Trump voters at Walmart?

Let’s be frank. The widespread ire over Biden’s remark is simply due to the fact that he said the quiet part out loud.

However, since Biden is not on the ballot, the remark — on its own — is not key. This close to an election, momentum is crucial. Trump has had strong momentum for about 10 days now. Tuesday was Kamala Harris’s chance to stop that momentum with her big “closing argument” speech from the Ellipse. But Biden hip-checked her into the glass, sending the puck back onto Trump’s stick.

Harris Can’t Bring Herself to Condemn “Garbage” Remark; White House Denies It Even Happened

Harris was asked Wednesday about her boss calling Trump supporters “garbage” Tuesday night. Being Kamala Harris, she could not bring herself to offer a straight answer condemning the comments.

Kamala defends Biden calling President Trump's supporters "garbage" — and claims she disagrees with "criticism of people based on who they vote for."

First, she said Biden “clarified” his remarks. (In reality, he just lied about what he had said.) Then she offered the amusing, “I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for” line. Just a day earlier, she had refused to condemn her running mate, Tim Walz, for comparing Trump supporters to Nazis.

At the White House, Karine Jean-Pierre denied Biden was referring to Trump supporters, insisting that the “garbage” referred only to “hateful rhetoric.”

As a reminder, here’s what he actually said: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his [Trump’s] supporters.”

The White House is using the “Magic Apostrophe Theory.” They say “supporters” was really “supporter’s” … referencing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.

Even former CNN personality Chris Cizzilla thought that was “laughable.”

Also the attempt to transcribe this by the White House as “supporter’s” as opposed to “supporters” — which he clearly says — is laughable. https://t.co/JEDvpHLDcF

Making the remark even more laughable? When asked if Biden was reading from note cards when he said, “The “only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Jean-Pierre said, “It is not unusual for a president or the vice president or any elected official to have notes in front of them.”

Harris can talk all she wants about not criticizing people who don’t vote your way. But look at this new spot from the Harris campaign. Clearly the Trump voter is portrayed as a rube, a doofball … garbage.

I can’t imagine not knowing my wife well enough to know exactly how she’d vote.

I can’t imagine my wife not talking to me about any of these controversial topics.

I can’t believe there’s a campaign that encourages women to lie and deceive their husbands. pic.twitter.com/Ibevl098Nu

Trump Makes the Obvious Point: Gotta Love the People to Lead the People

During a rally Wednesday in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Donald Trump offered this response to the “garbage” remark and Nazi talk.

“My response to Joe and Kamala is simple: You can’t LEAD America if you don’t LOVE Americans. You can’t be president if you hate the American people.”

After years of being called names by the Left, conservatives are used to turning the insults into humor. Take this from The Babylon Bee.

Beating the Cheat: RNC Wins Suit to Extend Mail-in Deadline to Friday After GOP Voters Forced Out of Line

The Republican National Committee sued county officials in Pennsylvania early Wednesday after multiple videos showed officers closing down voting centers early on Tuesday and telling (mostly Republican) voters to get out of line, contrary to state law. On Wednesday afternoon, a judge ordered Bucks County to extend until 5 p.m. Friday the deadline for voters to apply for, receive, or return a mail-in ballot.

Beating the Cheat: Michigan Admits Dominion Machines Have Issues, Noncitizen’s Illegal Vote Will Count

Meanwhile, remember those supposedly safe Dominion voting machines? You know, the ones that would get you booted from Twitter if you questioned their vulnerabilities in the 2020 election?

Yesterday, Michigan’s Soros-owned Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, casually said there’s a “nationwide issue” affecting certain Dominion voting machines. The issue impacts voters with disabilities who don’t want to vote strictly across party lines down the whole ticket.

Also in Michigan, a Chinese citizen attending the University of Michigan has been busted for voting. How many times have we all been told that noncitizens don’t vote and there is no danger of them having an effect in this election, even though ten million of them have flooded into our nation illegally under the Biden-Harris administration?

The unnamed suspect used his school ID to register and signed a document falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen. He was only discovered when he tried to get his ballot back.

Here’s the ridiculous — and ominous — thing: According to The Detroit News, the man’s illegal vote will still count “because there is no way for election officials to retrieve it once it’s been put through a tabulator, according to two sources familiar with Michigan election laws. The setup is meant to prevent ballots from being tracked back to an individual voter.”

So if the cheaters just get their fake ballots into the tabulator, there’s nothing anyone can do about it. The Democrats — Benson — know that. And are counting on it.
