Mistake or Messaging? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Say MILLIONS of Americans Died From COVID-19https://pjmedia.com/election/tyler-o-neil/2020/10/27/mistake-or-messaging-joe-biden-and-kamala-harris-say-millions-of-americans-died-from-covid-19-n1097800Democratic nominee Joe Biden has repeatedly grossly exaggerated the number of Americans who have died from the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. He inflated the number by a factor of 1,000. Perhaps the first time Biden said that 120 million Americans — as opposed to 120,000 — had died of COVID-19 represented a verbal slip, an innocent mistake. Then Biden did it again. Last week, Biden running mate Kamala Harris did exactly the same thing twice.
This is beginning to look like a pattern. Biden has repeatedly substituted “million†for “thousand,†and in each case, the gross exaggeration bolsters his argument on an issue.
...
Campaigning is hard work, and it is not impossible that these six overrought and politically useful exaggerations could be the result of exhaustion.
However, when Kamala Harris starts repeating the “millions dead†lie that Biden has said more than once, it’s beginning to look like messaging.
This 3-orders-of-magnitude pattern of mistakes is weird. Do Biden and Kammy think Americans are stupid enough to think it's hyperbole and Trump really is disastrous? Or is this matching mental fatigue?
