Biden’s Call With Hispanic Lawmakers Goes Off the Rails
NOTUS ^ | 07/12/2024 | Reese Gorman

As President Joe Biden tries to talk with Democratic lawmakers and relieve their concerns, a virtual meeting with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Friday appears to have caused more problems than it solved.

For starters, Biden showed up an hour late to the Zoom call, according to a source familiar with the meeting, and it didn’t get much better from there.

Organizers of the Zoom meeting had said only two members were allowed to ask questions — Reps. Sylvia Garcia and Lou Correa — but Biden opened the floor up to more questions, the source familiar with the call told NOTUS. At least the president tried to open up the meeting to more questions.

Of the lawmakers who did get to ask Biden a question, Correa told Biden that Latino voters need to hear from him and urged the president to “talk to these families and say to them, there is a pathway in my second administration for all of you that have been here for decades, that have followed the laws, that have paid taxes to be part of the American dream,” according to a partial transcript of the call obtained by NOTUS.

Biden responded that he strongly agreed “with every word you just said, not a joke.”

“I’m being deadly earnest,” Biden said, according to the transcript.

“We’re in a situation where, that’s why I used the executive action, for example, to make sure that over a million Latinos who are married to an American citizen are, get complete access to citizenship, and get — you get a green card now,” Biden said, claiming that would “change the dynamic in a big way.”

Of the Democrats who weren’t preordained to speak but were still able to ask a question was Rep. Mike Levin. Levin’s question, however, was more of a comment: He said it was time for someone else to lead the party, and he called on Biden to step down as the nominee.

The president responded by trying to ease concerns about his age.

“That’s — that was great when you were feeling good, Biden, are you OK now? That’s what’s underlying,” Biden said, according to the partial transcript. “That’s what people are worried about. ‘I’ve got a grandfather who’s 85 years old, and he can’t walk.’ It’s a legitimate concern for people, but that’s why I think it’s important I gotta get out and show people everything from how well I move to how much I know and that I’m still in good charge.”

Biden said he had time for one more question. But the host — Rep. Linda T. Sánchez — ended the meeting anyway.

How is it the citizens do not know who is making the executive decisions?

Jill and Hunter. They take advice from various aids, make the decisions and tell Joe to sign the bill or executive action.

“How is it the citizens do not know who is making the executive decisions?“

And how is it that so few actually CARE about the seriousness of this?!?

Read closer, that was a DEI-written piece where the writer is all confusing and confused. The real story is that they shut down Q&A after failing to control it.

Biden’s off the rails, on a crazy train. A little Joe Biden theme music.

Who's grandfather would that be? Beau's who died in Iraq by enemy fire?

One of Trump’s key campaign appeals has always been to make the American Dream potentially obtainable by all who work hard and follow the laws.

Trump needs to triple down on this theme of making America Great Again.

Biden then ended the call with the always-inspiring chant of “See say Play-doh!”

He is quoting generic constituents who are supposedly telling him ‘I’ve got a grandfather who’s 85 years old, and he can’t walk.’ — note the single quotes.

He does this all the time — quoting some imaginary person and it makes it sound like he was referring to himself.

But why quote an imaginary (probably fictitious) constituent who effectively says “my grandfather is only four years older than you and is incapacitated.” How does that help Biden in any way?

that have paid taxes to be part of the American dream,”

If they’ve been paying taxes using a social security number, they’ve not been following the laws - because that’s identity theft.

This is a BIG REASON why the government does not want to get rid of so many illegal alien workers. They’re propping up the social security fund by paying into the system illegally.
