In a swanky back room at the Lackawanna Station Hotel in Scranton, Pa., President Biden sits across from Senate candidate John Fetterman. Biden poised just so in a dark suit, a friendly tight-lipped Irish smile on his lips, Fetterman in a dusty gray hoodie and shorts, trying not to scowl.
Biden chimes in, “How’s the campaign going, kid?”
“It’s not about kicking balls in the authority you know.”
“Just like Strom Thurmond used to say. Where is Strom by the way? Strom?” Biden looks around frantically for the politician who died in 2003.
“Problem is this whole crime . . . uh, thing. Just because I said a few times that I want to release half of murderers from jail, this fancy Oz says I’m not (using air quotes) prioritizing public safety. That I’m not tough enough.”
“Are you kidding me? Not tough,” Biden chuckles. “Look at you, you’re massive. If you weren’t white I’d say you could still be playing football.”

Great thread! Two of the most inarticulate politicians in history!
Sad that the Democrats refuse to replace Fetterman with someone who hasn't suffered strokes and doesn't have a tumor on his neck. The man needs to be in a a care unit, not on a campaign trail.
