Joe Biden and Kamala Harris appeared together for the first time at a Philadelphia campaign event to launch “Black Voters for Biden Harris.” This effort aims to counteract Trump’s progress in gaining black voter support.
Joe Biden, a man who has a history of racist remarks, was at it again with his usual pandering and fear-mongering.
But I’m here to point out that Biden deliberately misled the public about this event. I’m here because the Biden campaign, and the White House, are intentionally misleading the public.
Axios reported last month that the Biden White House had given hundreds of “unpaid independent content creators”, access to the White House in order to push their propaganda. Harry Sisson is one such creator. He was at the “Black Voters For Biden-Harris Kickoff” at Girard College, and posted a picture declaring that Biden spoke to a “packed room.”

A similar story was also promoted by another influencer.

It sure sounded like a big event. Biden needs to demonstrate that he is a grassroots leader after Trump’s recent massive rallies in New York, among other places.
How many people actually attended? Biden’s campaign would have you believe that there were many more people than actually existed. Steven Nelson, a New York Post reporter who was at the event, took photos from a different angle than the Biden campaign wanted you to see.

The photos show that the gym is at least half full. The Republican National Committee noted that Joe Biden could not fill a school gymnasium in Democrat-run Philadelphia.
While Biden can’t even fill up a school gymnasium with supporters in Democrat-run Philadelphia, thousands showed up to see President Trump in the Bronx, one of the bluest counties in the country. pic.twitter.com/qPkN2gT5pf

Keep in mind, this was not just an event targeting the black voter; it included Joe Biden and Kamalah Harris. Even if the president came alone, shouldn’t it be enough to draw attention? But what about if he and his vice president joined him? The crowd should have been massive. The campaign did not expect to see a large crowd, based on the setup of the stage and barricades.
What a sad story.
