As a sometime student of the Civil War and the century following, when the Republican party was the home for nearly all Americans of African extraction, this news put the TV theme song “Welcome Back” running through my head. It’s about GD time! Would never happen with anyone but DJT. He fights. That “Lincoln” gaffe of Biden’s last evening would make Freud smile.
That was no gaffe; that was a tactical error. The Big Guy was being sarcastic, which might have worked for a younger man. Unfortunately for him, he came off looking confused.
I have a new theory about Biden’s Lincoln gaffe last night.
Many FReepers have suspected that Biden received instructions through an earpiece during debates.
Here is what could have happened:
The Presidents says “I have done more for black people than any President since Abraham Lincoln”.
Biden’s aides yell into the earpiece: “This is it. We got him. Trump is no Abraham Lincoln. He is a racist.”
But, Biden wasn’t paying attention to his earpiece and did not catch the first few words. What Biden heard was:
“Abraham Lincoln is a racist.”
and the rest was history....and Biden was history!
As the Good Book says, "Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks," (Luke 6:45).
