Owen Williams: “This is how you do politics. Absolutely sublime.”
Via Kaivan Shroff: “These 2 minutes made the night for Biden. That’s all he needed to do. He created a little live Reality TV moment that showed his agility and that he is fighting for the American people.” https://twitter.com/kaivanshroff/status/1623154157648596993?s=61&t=WLYvNvOxtP7g-MWEuSOYKw #StateOfTheUnionAddress #StateOfTheUnion #SOTU #Biden #USPolitics
How you do politics: Make a statement that has been roundly rebuked as misleading at best, roll it up in a false dichotomy, present it as divisive rhetoric right alongside a call for coming together, and stammer out an excuse to try to save the moment as the moment collapses around you?
Biden really lost it here. I don't think people elected him to turn this moment of traditional pump and circumstance into Reality TV.
And conservatives had a field day with this ammunition.
