Biden-Harris HQ eaten alive for attacking Trump over Hannibal Lecter remark

July 20, 2024 | | Print Article

Republican party nominee Donald J. Trump’s acceptance speech was so masterful that he barely even left crumbs for the Democrats to pick through for attack material.

With little to rouse their lunatic fringe base with in terms of red meat that they could use to pin their dishonest smears on, the Biden-Harris HQ settled on Trump’s remark about the cinematic character Hannibal Lecter for an attack ad but quickly discovered that cannibalism is the last topic that they should be lecturing anyone about.

The former and perhaps future president dropped the name of the “late great Hannibal Lecter” while making a point about illegal aliens and insane asylums, not the first time that he’s sent the let into fits over a reference to the serial killer played by Anthony Hopkins among others.

“Here is a montage of a deranged Donald Trump praising Hannibal Lecter, a cannibal who is not real,” the campaign team posted to X on Friday.

The one problem with the juvenile DEI twits in the Biden-Harris campaign is that they failed to consider their boss’s own yarn about cannibals, specifically the ones in New Guinea whom he suggested dined on his poor Uncle Bosie, another one of the lies that have marked the teller of tall tales’ five-decade political career.

“Ambrose Finnegan — we called him ‘Uncle Bosie’ — he — he was shot down,” Biden told reporters at the airport. “He was Army Air Corps before there was an Air Force. He flew single-engine planes, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea. He had volunteered because someone couldn’t make it. He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in New Guinea at the time, Biden told reporters in Scranton, PA earlier this year, using the yarn to toss off the “suckers and losers” hoax about Trump.

But good old Joe from Scranton left out one very important detail: his story’s a bunch of malarkey which was quickly debunked by a no less authoritative source than the Pentagon.

Naturally, the staffers who run what has become one of the most moronic accounts in all of social media didn’t bother to consider the potential for blowback on the topic and X users ate them alive.

The Pentagon’s Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency had the official accounting of Uncle Bosie.

“On May 14, 1944, an A-20 havoc (serial number 42-86768), with a crew of three and one passenger, departed Momote Airfield, Los Negros Island, for a courier flight to Nadzab Airfield, New Guinea. For unknown reasons, this plane was forced to ditch in the ocean off the north coast of New Guinea. Both engines failed at low altitude, and the aircraft’s nose hit the water hard. Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash. One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge. An aerial search the next day found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members,” the military’s website states.

Hannibal Lecter may be a fictitious cannibal, but that’s one thing he has in common with Joe’s story about the ones that he claimed ate his uncle.
