At Wisconsin Rally, Biden Mocks ‘Stable Genius’ Trump for July Fourth Story About Revolutionary War Airports

SANCHEZ: “— President Biden hug supporters and shake hands with them as he approaches the podium. Before he begins speaking, I want to bring in Evan Osnos, who’s standing by for us, just to get a reaction to the analysis we heard from David about this cake potentially already being baked.”

OSNOS: “Yeah, I think that’s very much the case at this moment. But we’re right down to the moment here. But one person who knows that is Joe Biden, a lot on the line.”

SANCHEZ: “Let’s go ahead and listen to the president.”

CROWD: “Let’s go, Joe!”

Biden: “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

CROWD: “Let’s go, Joe! Let’s go, Joe! Let’s go, Joe!”

Biden: “Thank you. Hello, Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Wisconsin! (cheering) I got to thank somebody. Gaylord Nelson, I’m back. He first introduced me to Wisconsin a long time ago when I was a kid. I’m only 40 now, but I was a kid. Sabrina, thank you for introduction, for the introduction and for the volunteering for our campaign. And a special thanks to one of the best governors I’ve ever worked with in my life, Tony Evers​​​. (cheers and applause) You got a former governor, Jim Doyle, [inaudible]. Mayor of this city. Look, we got a guy who has a tough time winning election, he only gets 70 percent of the vote, Congressman Mark Pocan. (cheers and applause) So many local leaders are here, including the chair of Wisconsin Democratic Party, Ben Wikler. Ben (cheers and applause) — no Ben. Folks, did you have a good Fourth of July? By the way, if you’re wondering whether Trump has it all together, did you ever hear how he explained the Fourth of July, when he was president? No, I’m serious, this is true — his explanation of how America won the Revolutionary War? I’m not making this up. He said in his Fourth of July speech, five years ago, he said, George Washington’s army won the Revolution by taking control of the airports from the British. Talk about me misspeaking? Airports and the British in 1776? It’s true, he is a stable genius, this man.”
