For Trump voters, this does not matter to their narrative. Most of them have no idea what facts are, or what the truth is.
She Never Called Biden Racist" Watch Fox News Fact Check Trump Statement on Kamala Harris
From the article:
While there were many candidates to become Joe Bidens running mate, Kamala Harris was long seen as a front-runner. The Trump campaign had plenty of time to come up with a well-thought out statement about the pick.
Believe it or not, thats not what happened. Following the announcement of the selection, the campaign released a Trumpian missive through adviser Katrina Pierson.
The statement painted Harris as a phony and declared, Not long ago, Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist and asked for an apology she never recieved.

Nancy Pelosi Calls Donald Trump The Biggest Failure In American History
From the article:
Days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi started referring to COVID-19 as the Trump virus, she went straight after the president again, calling him the biggest failure in American history.
Pelosi said Trumps incompetence is the reason why coronavirus cases are surging across the country and why millions of Americans are filing for unemployment insurance.
Let me just say that this president has been the biggest failure practically in the history of our country, Pelosi said.

What is the worst that can happen if we elect a reality television con man as President?
We asked that question in 2016. Now, we know.
The biggest problem, in my view, is that 37% of American voters still think, if think is indeed the correct word, that Trump is competent, intelligent, and doing the correct thing.
We can micro-analyze this 37%, and say that with 43% not voting in 2016, the 37% is actually about 16%, but even 16% means 1 out of 6 random voters likes Trump.
But we have 2 huge challenges ahead of us.
1) We must produce a blu-nami and return control of the Senate, House, and Presidency to the Party of sanity.
2) Repair the damage caused by the GOP.

Rejecting symbols of hate is more than symbolic
From the article:
Whats been the message of Confederate monuments and flags? It depends on who you are.
If youre a Black teenager in the South, each day passing a memorial to someone who committed treason in order to keep your ancestors enslaved, how might that make you feel? If youre a white American who still points to the heritage of the lost cause," it might further ingrain your denial of the brutality of slavery and how racism continues today.
A nation that still honors Confederate signs in public places signals its belief that Black people are less important than white people, that Black peoples trauma can be disregarded. Confederate flags signal to the public that its okay to keep ignoring the worst and ugliest sins of our past, while trying to create an impenetrable barrier to a different and better future.

Rachel Maddow Praises Biden For Demonstrating How A Real Commander In Chief Stands Up To Russia
From the article:
Rachel Maddow praised former Vice President Joe Bidens tough stand against Russia on Monday, saying its a sign that if the former VP wins in November, the United States will again have a president who holds foreign adversaries accountable.
Dream of competent, uncompromised governance that stands up for our sovereignty against foreign countries that are trying to eat our democracy, Maddow said. Dream big!
The MSNBC host also pointed out that Bidens line in the sand against Vladimir Putin will put Republicans in a corner.

Biden Tells Putin That The Days Of Having A Puppet In The White House Are Numbered
From the article:
In a wide-ranging discussion with MSNBCs Joy Reid on Monday, former Vice President Joe Biden blasted Donald Trump for failing his country on everything from the coronavirus to Russian election interference.
On the pandemic, Biden said Trump has no sense of empathy or concern for people, even as hundreds of thousands of Americans are ill and dying from a virus he let spread unchecked in the early months of this crisis.
Have you heard a word of him talking about how badly he feels about the losses, about the emptiness? Biden said.
