New book ‘Original Sin’ reveals moment Kamala Harris campaign cut ties with Biden: ‘What is he doing?’

Kamala Harris was left aghast when President Joe Biden donned a “Trump 2024” cap at a Pennsylvania firehouse in a bizarre scene at the height of last year’s presidential race, a bombshell new book has revealed.

During a visit to a Shanksville firehouse while commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Biden, now 82, posed with more than a dozen youngsters clad in pro-Trump attire — then briefly put on the cap after being egged on by a member of the crowd.

“What is he doing?” Harris — by that point the Democratic nominee after Biden ended his re-election bid July 21 — asked her advisers, according to the new book “Original Sin,” co-authored by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson.

Camela will go down in history.

"He didn’t seem to understand what a liability he had become.”

kind of the story of his life

Why is Tapper’s book called “Original Sin?”

[MplsSteve]

I think the senile old coot had no frickin’ idea what he was doing when he put that cap on. As far as he was concerned, it was a Pioneer Hi-Bred or Miller High Life ball cap.

I find it hard to believe that his action was a snub at Harris.

I give up. Democrats are never held to account for crimes, and if Republicans ever attempted to it would be labeled “Retribution”.

Remember that on the Wednesday after the election, both Joe and Jill Biden wore something red, a tie in Joe’s case and a jacket in Jill’s case. So I am not so sure that Joe didn’t know what he was doing when he donned that Trump hat. The Democratic hierarchy usurped the Bidens and they were certainly livid at the coup.

What is he doing?!?!

She asked that?

Kamala baby, AT BEST he was doing exactly the kind of thing a senile person does and YOU KNEW he was that way. You covered it up. Why would you be shocked

Alternatively- He was doing exactly what you did to him, stabbing him in the back. Or more likely, his handlers were stabbing you.

I find it hard to believe that his action was a snub at Harris.

Maybe Joe had no clue, but Jill wore a red dress on election day,,

LOL...just how far down the Democrat rabbit hole must one go to be appalled at ANYTHING Joe Biden did???
