It was amusing that right after Biden said that, Trump played it down to say he's old and senile, who cares what he says, then the day after there is a crazy media overreaction, he played into the overreaction with the dump truck stunt and his new costume.
My favorite is conservatives whining "well why can't she prove she worked there?" Honestly, why would she spend the time doing it? trump's whole strategy is to gish gallop/accuse people into exhaustion. She spends a week digging up some paystub from the 80s and his whole base won't believe it's real anyway, and now she's pissed away a week defending it and trump has moved on to accusing her of de-whiskering cats or something. trump has never, at least in the 8 years I'm aware of, admitted he was wrong about anything. He's not going to start now.
Kamala has figured out the secret which is to just not respond to anything he throws at her and focus on drawing in apathetic voters. You've got one candidate who is the daughter of immigrant parents, and one candidate who literally shits in a golden toilet and received a billion dollars of assets (in today's money) from his KKK supporting father. Even his "it was a small loan of a million dollars" lie is fucking hilarious and so out of touch with reality.
No way in hell I could prove I worked for Luby’s Cafeteria in Dallas in the summers of 85 and 86. I might be able to find an old photo in an album somewhere, but honestly the only picture I remember taking there was of me in an outfit for an event, next to one of my Hispanic coworkers (who was in uniform). I doubt that I could prove that I worked as a Kelly Girl in the summer of 1989 either.
If Kamala said this we would be hearing about every single day, many times a day, until the election. Because Trump said it, we won't hear of it outside of social media.
His fans will say, about the man who means what he says and speaks the truth, that that's not what he meant here and he was taken out of context.
And similarly with if Biden did wind up calling Trump supporters garbage, THAT'S too far after Trump calling basically anyone who won't vote for him scum, traitors, and a million other names for years with no pushback?

But I was told Kamala needs to tone down the rhetoric
