The alleged "statement from the Biden campaign" that Chris Matthews raised such a stink about [View all]

tonight was actually an off-the-cuff tweet from a Biden advisor, apparently tweeted during the debate.

See this thread about the kerfuffle:




Whoops, that was the last of the three tweets in that thread from a Politico reporter. First tweet in the thread is here:

but there's a huge difference between a spontaneous tweet from one advisor and an actual campaign staff statement.


And FWIW, Trump's campaign manager, Brad Parscale, was gleefully tweeting about Harris's attack on Biden. And he was doing so just a minute or so before Cristobal Alex's tweet.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
