Republicans rage
President Biden demands: “Lock up Trump!”
During the 2016 presidential election campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly and loudly called for his then Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, to be "finally locked up". This was met with fierce protests from the opposing camp. Now President Joe Biden has turned the tables and made a similar statement at an event in the state of New Hampshire: "Lock him up," said the 81-year-old in the direction of Trump.
Shortly after the words were spoken, Biden added: "We have to lock him up politically. Lock him out. That's what we have to do." But by then it was already too late, Trump's campaign team immediately seized on this slip-up and took to social media to express their outrage. His son Donald Trump Jr. posted on the short message platform X: "They're not even hiding it. The legal battle was always about election interference!"
A spokesperson for Trump's team lamented: "President Biden also talks about 'eliminating', about 'shooting'. Yet Trump was the only candidate shot in the head - in a failed assassination attempt." "What a load of sh**," Steven Cheung raged.
President torpedoes his vice president's position
Numerous other Republicans voiced their displeasure and called on Kamala Harris to distance herself from the president's words. In fact, Biden's blunder could prove to be a disservice to Trump's Democratic rival. In the past, she has emphasized at campaign events that the courts should be allowed to do their job and not intervene from the political side. She also always stopped her supporters when they called for Trump's arrest.
