He should not have called that guy fat...though, he clearly is fat. It was wrong for him to do that. The difference between you and me is that you will not admit that what Trump does is wrong. Calling someone "fat" PALES in comparison to what Trump does, from the name calling to the serial lying to the criminality. You should be ashamed of yourself. You ARE shameful.
Biden did not call the guy fat.
It was caught wrong by the microphone. Biden said 'Look, facts...' but it sounded like 'fat.'

I don't see the big deal here, need to call out the BS.
Not sure if Biden has openly addressed the fact that his son's appointment was improper, but he needs to have some lines ready for that, and not just defensiveness. As a public servant you are going to get that scrutiny. He needs to keep owning it and then call out trump's nepotism to put into perspective for people. These politicians don't really understand how basic the level of people's reasoning can be. They don't usually put 1 and 2 together and instead fixate on the emotion-grabbing one liners... they need to be reminded that there is ZERO equivalence to trump's criminal behavior.
The strategies employed are interesting though. Trump NEVER subjects himself to this kind of cozy open talk with citizens who don't think like him, so the risk he gets wrapped up in something like this is low, but could you imagine how he'd react? There is NEVER honest discourse with Trump. The only opportunity the opposition will have is through the debates, and that is probably not enough b/c trump is out there every single day tweeting lies.
