Caught handing out canned questions for audience members to ask the candidate and feeding the answers to him over a teleprompter, Biden spokesman TJ Ducklo defended these strategies calling them “a new innovation in how every candidate will campaign in the future. Trump is just jealous because he didn’t think of this first. Now watch and see him copy us.” Ducklo explained that “handing out pre-screened questions and feeding the answers to the candidate via teleprompter is so perfect that we’re surprised no one else had done it before we did.

Hello folks, I try not to write just to be writing. I try to write when I see the need to say something that needs to be said, and without the fear of retribution. I try to say the things that are on most people’s minds – Whites and Blacks and whoever – but are afraid to say so. As I said in my last article, people stay gripped with fear. They will go to great lengths to not tell the truth about what they feel is going on here in America. We would instead let the violence go on...
