This morning, Wendy Bell posted this on her Facebook page:
It's linked to this tweet from right-wing commentator Dan Bongino.
The right wing thinks that Biden's just admitted to the existence of an Obama era "Voter Fraud Organization." OMG! Trump should definitely order Special Agents Fox and Mulder to look into that right away! I am sure they'll find that it was (at least partially funded) by George Soros.
I've already complimented Wendy (on her FB page) for mocking Biden's stutter (and by "complimented" I mean "sarcastically criticized").
Let's see if we can unweave what's going on. The Daily Wire has a transcript of Biden's sentence:
Secondly, we’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for President Obama’s administration before this, we have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.
Secondly? Huh?
Biden was evidently responding to this question from Dan Pfeiffer:
[W]hat’s your message to the folks who have not yet voted or do not yet have a plan to vote?
His "First" part starts this way:
But one of the things that I think is most important is those who haven’t voted yet. First of all, go to iwillvote.com to make a plan exactly how you’re going to vote, where you’re going to vote, when you’re going to vote. Because it can get complicated. Because the Republicans are doing everything they can to make it harder for people to vote—particularly people of color to vote. So go to iwillvote.com.That's what Biden says immediately prior to the "Secondly" part of his answer. So let's move on. I shifted the punctuation a bit for clarity:
Secondly, we’re in a situation where we have put together (and you guys did it for President Obama’s administration before this) we have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.
So he's talking about something in place now and not during the Obama Administration (where he says something similar took place). So what was that?
Of course our friends on the right leave that part out:
This is Biden's next sentence on:
What the president is trying to do is discourage people from voting by implying that their vote won’t be counted. It can’t be counted. We’re gonna challenge it and all these things. If enough people vote, it’s gonna overwhelm the system. You see what’s happening now. You guys know it as well as I do. You see the long, long lines in early voting. You see the millions of people have already cast a ballot. And so, don’t be intimidated. If, in fact, you have any, any problem, go to, and I don’t have the number, but it’s 833-DEM-VOTE. The letters D-E-M-V-O-T-E. Call that number. We have over a thousand lawyers, over a thousand [and they’ll] answer the phone. If you think there’s any challenge to your voting, go to 833-DEM-VOTE. Dial those letters on your phone, that will get you the assistance that we have already put in place.
That's the organization he's describing - an organization they've put together to counter the voter intimidation they're expecting from the MAGA-hatters ("If you think there’s any challenge to your
voting, go to 833-DEM-VOTE. Dial those letters on your phone, that will
get you the assistance that we have already put in place.").
Now go back and look at how Wendy Bell described it. Look at what she wants you to infer about Biden's health and the existence of "voter fraud" in the US.
For the record:
Politicians at all levels of government have repeatedly, and falsely, claimed the 2016 and 2018 elections were marred by millions of people voting illegally. However, extensive research reveals that fraud is very rare, voter impersonation is virtually nonexistent, and many instances of alleged fraud are, in fact, mistakes by voters or administrators. The same is true for mail ballots, which are secure and essential to holding a safe election amid the coronavirus pandemic.And of course Not only is Wendy Bell the Angel of Death, but she mocked Biden's stutter.
Congratulations, Wendy! Your friends and family should be so proud of you!
