For those who can’t be bothered to watch the video: Biden talks with Trump supporter, signs a presidential hat, trades for the Trump supporter’s hat, briefly wears it.
Also jokes about being so old he forgot his name, tells the guy “hell no” when asked if he wants him to sign the Trump hat, and tells people not to eat dogs.
Also it wasn’t a “unity gesture”. It was a funny moment for the people in the room and/or was intended to make the Trump convert more comfortable.
Either way, it was absolutely fine in context. The only concern is how it could be taken out of context, and fuck that. I’m tired of walking a tightrope worrying about what Fox News might say.
If it was a “unity gesture”, it was for that one guy. It wasn’t for the Fox News audience.
