How Low Will They Go- Part Infinity
If you really want to know what to expect from the Republicans over the next week and a half, you might be interested in this story. It is currently the number one post at Before It's News. an aggregator of far right videos which I follow for Wingnut Wrapup. The video to which it is linked, which I did not watch, already has 125,000 views.
Yes, in their desperate attempt to smear Joe Biden, they have now gone from utterly false claims that he made a billion dollars from deals with the Chinese, which seem to interest nobody, to this- a claim that he engaged in "torture raping" Chinese children, which of course fits in perfectly with the bizarre lies spread by QAnon.
The Republicans have engaged in dirty smear tactics in every election for decades, but in all the time I have been following them, I have never seen anything as degraded as this. And we now have a promise to vomit up more of this sort of thing every hour for the next 13 days. God knows what they will be claiming by election day.
Update: Today I learned from the Daily Mail, of all sources, that this "information" comes from an organization founded this year by Steve Bannon. Surprised?
Update 2: Alex Jones is now claiming that a diary kept by Joe Biden's daughter alleges years of sexual abuse. Needless to say, not a single legitimate news organization will touch this contemptible smear, but this is how they intend to end their campaign. We'll see how much more degraded the Trump campaign gets in the next week, but it is obviously not going to be pretty. It is almost impossible for a public figure, particularly a political candidate, to sue anyone for slander or libel for anything they say about them; I understand the reason for this law, but obviously, there is something wrong when this sort of thing can go unpunished. And note, it is always Republicans doing this.
