The Elites Begin to Starve Middle Class Joe of Campaign Funds

Happy Friday, everyone! As LauraW. used to say, it's F*** It All Friday.

What that means, I don't know.

$90 million already pledged to the biggest pro-Biden SuperPAC has been frozen and will not be given. At least as long as Biden remains the candidate.

NYT:

Some major Democratic donors have told the largest pro-Biden super PAC, Future Forward, that roughly $90 million in pledged donations is now on hold if President Biden remains atop the ticket, according to two people who have been briefed on the conversations.

The frozen contributions include multiple eight-figure commitments, according to the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation. The decision to withhold such enormous sums of money is one of the most concrete examples of the fallout from Mr. Biden's poor debate performance at the end of June.

Ed Morrissey's post notes that just three more Democrats have submitted calls for Biden to step aside. That's a win for Scranton Joe -- ABC "News" was talking about 20-25 House Democrats all with press releases ready, all demanding Scranton Joe withdraw, and those were to be released no matter what the outcome of the Big Boy Press Conference.

So maybe his almost-not-a-complete-disaster performance helped him?

Chris Matthews predicts that Biden will stay in the race, because the "poor" and "the blacks" are with him, and he's used to "the elites" denigrating and disrespecting him. He points out Obama's shabby treatment of Biden -- the first time I've heard a lefty acknowledge Obama as an elite and not as an oppressed minority.

He claims that people will rally to Middle Class Joe when they see all these elites picking on him.

Are "the blacks" really with Casually Racist Joe?

Not only is the White House demanding that black radio stations only ask the questions that Biden's staff prepares for them, but they're also demanding these stations edit out his more embarrassing gaffes.

Of course the media bowed to these demands. This was before the media called a Code Red on Middle Class Joe.

Milwaukee-based Civic Media has admitted to editing an interview with President Joe Biden at the behest of his campaign, raising questions about journalistic integrity and media influence in politics. The edits were made to a July 3 interview conducted by host Earl Ingram, which aired the next day following a notably shaky debate performance by Biden.

The two specific edits involved a claim by Biden about the racial diversity of his administration and his reference to Donald Trump's comments regarding the Central Park Five. Specifically, the edits were:

At time 5:20, the removal of "...and in addition to that, I have more Blacks in my administration than any other president, all other presidents combined, and in major positions, cabinet positions."

At time 14:15, in reference to Donald Trump's call for the death penalty for the Central Park Five, the removal of "I don't know if they even call for their hanging or not, but he--but they said [...] convicted of murder."

Civic Media's statement explained that the decision was made in good faith but acknowledged a mistake had been made. "With a high-profile interview comes a listener expectation that journalistic interview standards will be applied, even for non-news programming. We did not meet those expectations. Civic Media disagrees with the team's judgments in the moment, both with respect to the handling of the interview questions and the decision to edit the interview audio," their statement read. The station has decided to make the full, unedited interview available online.

The NYT has another scoop: Crazy conservatives had a "conspiracy theory" that the Democrat Party Elites were scheming to replace Biden.

Although this was a crazy, racist, Without Evidence conspiracy theory, it has somehow "collided with reality" and become correct, even though it was always a crazy and racist conspiracy theory offered Without Evidence.

As Jack Walsh said in Midnight Run: "I don't even know what the f*** this guy's talking about."

Why is this broken conservative clock correct 24 hours a day?!?!
