DNC Speakers Can’t Believe They’re Giving Primetime Slot To Joe Fucking BidenDNC Speakers Can’t Believe They’re Giving Primetime Slot To Joe Fucking BidenFAIR OAKS, CA—Admitting they didn’t understand what on earth was behind the decision, several Democratic National Convention speakers told reporters Thursday that they couldn’t believe party leadership was giving a prime-time slot to Joe fucking Biden. “We’ve got this stacked lineup—Michelle and Barack Obama, Gretchen Whitmer, Gabby Giffords—and the best they can do for the main event is Biden?
