Biden and His Ilk Tap Dance Around the Truth

By Glen Wunderlich

Charter Member Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA)

As Biden throws gasoline on the fire of division between the Left and Right, no amount of cover-up or trickery can hide how much he despises millions of Trump supporters.  It explains how and why he has used the Department of Justise to hound his adversaries.

Biden’s “corrected” text of the language he used to describe Trump supporters makes no sense.  Funny how the person that altered the text, doesn’t know how to use an apostrophe meant to show possession.  From my English teacher many years ago, here’s the correct use of the apostrophe:  “To show possession of any noun add an apostrophe “s” – except if the noun is plural, just add an apostrophe.”

So, here is someone behind the curtain that, in effect, demonized a single person and not a group of people – all because of the use of the apostrophe.  Please explain who this person is.

Here is the language used to spark the controversy:

And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.”  Well, let me tell you something.  I don’t — I — I don’t know the Puerto Rican that — that I know — or a Puerto Rico, where I’m fr- — in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people.  The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.  It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.
