During the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump repeatedly loudly called for the “final jailing” of his then Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. This was met with violent protests in the enemy camp. Now, President Joe Biden has turned the tables and made a similar statement at an event in the state of New Hampshire: “Lock him up,” the 81-year-old said toward Trump.
Shortly after the words were spoken, Biden added: “We need to put him away politically. Shut him out. That’s what we have to do.” But by then it was too late; the Trump campaign immediately picked up on this mistake and went wild on social media. His son Donald Trump Jr. posted on the short messaging platform not even. The legal battle was always about election interference!”
A spokesperson for Trump’s team complained: “President Biden is also talking about ‘eliminate,’ ‘shoot.’ Trump was the only candidate shot in the head – in a botched assassination attempt.” “What nonsense,” Steven Cheung raged.
President torpedoes his vice president’s position
Numerous other Republicans expressed their displeasure and called on Kamala Harris to distance herself from the president’s words. In fact, Biden’s blunder could prove to be a disservice to Trump’s Democratic rival. In the past, she has emphasized during election campaigns that the courts should be allowed to do their work and not that political interventions should take place. She also always stopped her supporters when they called for Trump’s arrest.
