A CNN reporter used profane language during a live report Tuesday about President Biden’s campaign strategy as his campaign looks ahead to a potential general election showdown with former President Trump.

“President Biden himself personally instructed at some of his top campaign aides to be even more aggressive in highlighting some of President Trump‘s more inflammatory and wild comments,” CNN reporter MJ Lee said live on CNN. “We‘re told that the thrust of the president‘s direction was to significantly ramp up the campaign‘s efforts to highlight the crazy shit that Trump says in public.”

Lee noted what she said the Biden campaign sees as “the black and white contrast” between the president and Trump.

Her “crazy shit” language is attributable to the sources who spoke with CNN about Biden’s direction to his campaign, as highlighted in a story she published on CNN.com.

    This is literally what Clinton did to amplify Trump during the 2016 primaries.

    They tried to paint mainstream Republicans as “crazy,” so voters would be turned off.

    That worked out just gangbusters. /s

      Because when you are dumb as rocks trump sounds like a genius. He speaks his ideas in 4 second attention-span sound bites that his base can grasp. He is the fucking CoComelon of politics to a country of mushy-brained undiagnosed ADHD sufferers and rich businessmen instigating and enabling it.

      I’m calling bovine scat. He can’t “win” legitimately; he has to have help from Russia, Cambridge Analytica, Facebook and Wikileaks. Don’t blame Democrats for his corruption. The grifters did that.
