This is, hands down, the wackiest and the weirdest Biden campaign moment yet – and that’s saying a lot. The man waves at empty campaign events.
- Biden played the rap song Despacito by Puerto Rican-American singer Luis Fonsi as he took the stage at a Hispanic campaign event in Florida
- President Trump then shared an edited video which appeared to show Biden playing ‘F*** the Police’ instead saying ‘What is this all about?’ and shared it again Wednesday
- Twitter flagged the video as ‘manipulated media’ but did not remove it while the pro-Trump meme account which made it called the president ‘our hero’
- Trump has accused Biden repeatedly of backing defunding the police, which the Democrat says he does not
An NBC-Marist poll released last week found Latinos in the state were evenly divided between Biden and Trump
Imagine how desperate you have to be to play ‘Despacito’ in attempt to win the Hispanic vote. 🤣

Biden panned for playing ‘Despacito’ at Hispanic Heritage Month event
Eva Longoria, Ricky Martin and ‘Despacito’ singer Luis Fonsi also attended the campaign event
The #Despacito bit suggests desperation. #Biden is failing w/Hispanics bc he has no decent economic policies.#Latinos KNOW how bad #Cuba, #Venezuela are. playing a song on your phone isn’t going to change that.
Btw. “Despacito” means SLOWLY in Spanish. Not a bright move.🤔

The event was meant to commemorate the Hispanic Heritage Month. The Democratic candidate was the last speaker to take the podium, following several supporters including Eva Longoria, Ricky Martin and Luis Fonsi.
However, when Biden approached the podium, he paused and reached for his phone in his pocket.
“I just have one thing to say,” Biden began as he looked down at his phone. “Hang on here.”
He then held his phone to the microphone, which began playing the 2017 hit song “Despacito” from Fonsi, who had introduced the candidate. After roughly 15 seconds of bobbing his head and gently dancing behind the podium, he paused the music.
“I’ll tell you what — if I had the talent of any one of these people, I’d be elected president by acclamation,” Biden chuckled.
Critics piled on the former VP over the “cringe” moment.
“Oh my,” CBS News correspondent Ed O’Keefe reacted.
“Does @JoeBiden realize that Despacito means ‘slowly’? Fits well with Slow Joe,” Trump campaign senior adviser Mercedes Schlapp quipped.
“This is so unbelievably cringe,” tweeted Erielle Davidson, a senior policy analyst at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America.

I’d vote for that little monkey before I’d vote for Schmoe.
The Monkey is Kamala
The little monkey can’t run for a third term…
Poor guy. Not only is he not president material but he’s also socially retarded.
I finally agree with something Hookstead said.
Yes, I don’t need to watch jerks kneel, so I won’t. Jerks are not very interesting.
He is your grandfather who has lost five steps and tries to be “hip” but fails badly. At home its ok, but completely embarrassing when around others.
Democrats: stop this elder abuse! To Jill Biden, let your husband have dignity and convince him to withdraw. Just let him have an empty room with cameras set up and tell him he is broadcasting.
Biden must at least be able to pass a standard and simple test of cognition like this one:
———-
General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition (GPCOG)
https://patient.info/doctor/general-practitioner-assessment-of-cognition-gpcog-score
This test was designed for GPs to use as a screening tool for dementia.
One look at the questions on this test, and it’s obvious Biden would flunk it.
Joe is so busy, he’ll have to submit a stool sample in order to test his cognitive abilities.
Maybe on his next stop, Biden can come to the podium with a big slice of watermelon and a box of fried chicken to those he’ll be speaking to. The person/persons in his campaign who suggested Biden do this are absolutely taking advantage of a feeble minded old man. Whoever it was, should be taken on stage at his next stop and flogged.
Tell joey bidet to not forget the strawberry soda and moon pies.
Oh yes. Very important if he wants the votes 🙂
You mean when he speaks to the population that doesn’t have the diversity of the Hispanic community?

Just when I thought he was lower than whale fecal, he keeps digging deeper.
Joementia’s latest promise… “Free tacos for everyone!”
Ironic.
Despacito in Spanish is a diminutive for ”slow”…
Right Slow Joe???
Ironically, despacito is diminutive for “slowly.” Slow Joe’s apt theme!
He’ll never be elected by acclamation–maybe by defecation…
He’s completely bonkers.
Rush always said the dems are the funniest, and the most dangerous when they are losing. Smells like desperation!
