Old Joe Biden laid to rest all the nagging rumors about his health and gave definitive proof that he is still with us. Didn’t he? He called into a Kamala Harris rally, explained that dropping out of the race was the right thing to do, and gave his wholehearted endorsement to the Democrats’ shiny new presidential candidate, about whom everyone in the world is excited for the moment until they remember who she is.
It was a grand moment, exploding a thousand conspiracy theories about what was really going on with Old Joe, except for one little detail: Harris made a telling little verbal slip that suggested that the Biden voice was not live but was a recording. Oh, surely not! The Democrats, that most above-board and honest of criminal gangs, wouldn’t dream of lying to us, would they?
Biden said to Julie Chavez Rodríguez, his former campaign manager, who is now on Harris’ team, “Julie, if I didn’t have COVID, I’d be standing there with you.” All right, but viruses tend to lessen in virulence over time; COVID has been pretty much a common cold for quite some time now. What a coincidence that Old Joe got the first severe case of COVID in several years!
He continued, “I want people to remember that what we have done has been incredible, and we get so much more we’re gonna get done.” That’s right: “We get so much more we’re gonna get done.” If this was AI or some other kind of faked audio, it was deft of the fabricators to include a bit of Biden’s characteristically mangled syntax.
