As voters are set to make their electoral decision in the upcoming midterms, Florida gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist trotted out President Joe Biden to try to save his struggling campaign.
The man who promised to bring ‘decency’ back to America spent a portion of his time ripping into Governor Ron DeSantis and the Republican Party in general. He accused the governor of being “[former President] Donald Trump incarnate” and accused anonymous Republicans of cracking jokes about the recent attack on Paul Pelosi.
“Charlie is running against Donald Trump incarnate. This guy doesn’t fit any of the categories I talked about. The way he deals, the way he denies,” the president claimed.
“I always say democracy is on the ballot. I really mean it,” he added, picking up a Democrat talking point used to fearmonger voters despite more people being concerned with inflation than January 6, 2021.
“Look what happened. I’m talking [about Speaker] Nancy Pelosi. Look what happened. And look at the response of so-called responsible Republicans, making jokes about it,” Biden said, conveniently leaving out any specific names. He went on to claim that the GOP refused to fully condemn the attack because “there are a lot of unstable people in the population.”
“These guys are extremely extreme,” the president warned of his political opponents. “It is really important that a state the size of Florida… comes down on the right side of history.”
According to Democrats, the “right side of history” is effectively always in agreement with what they believe.
But for all the time Biden spent ripping Crist’s opponents instead of pushing the candidate’s beliefs, it would appear that social media hasn’t been convinced:
Biden also said his son died in Iraq & that’s not true, either.

But Trump is already incarnate.

He just gave DeSantis another 5% of the vote.

He doesn’t believe what he’s saying and neither does anybody else except the most delusional or I’ll-informed partisans. Just shows DeSantis is making the Dems nervous.

For everyone who doesn’t understand:
“Donald Trump incarnate” insinuates that Donald Trump is not alive.
But he is…
So that means that Biden says that DeSantis is “Donald Trump [in the flesh]” which makes zero sense… as usual ♂️

Does anyone love that guy ? I mean seriously?
He’d struggle to run a bath never mind the free world.
