New Swing State Ad Claims Joe Biden Is ‘Sharp As A Knife’
The Biden campaign has been targeting working class voters in Pennsylvania with a new ad that claims the president is “sharp as a knife.”
The ad opens with a message from Jojo Burgess, a Washington, Pennsylvania resident and “proud steel worker for 23 years.”
“And I know hard work when I see it,” Burgess continues overlayed over images of welders, steel workers and other manual laborers.
“I love to tell the story about meeting President Biden, because when you meet him… this guy is as sharp as a knife!” the ad continues. “They have nothing else to attack, because they can’t attack the things that he’s doing that are so good for this country,” Burgess continues as images of Biden meeting with workers cut in and out.
“I see people going back to work, jobs coming to the area, infrastructure being fixed up. Joe Biden gets things done, that’s just who he is.”
President Biden has repeatedly faced issues over his perceived cognitive decline and lack of awareness. Voters have repeatedly expressed concerns over Biden’s age and mental fitness throughout the campaign cycle.
Pundits have argued that the new “sharp as a knife” ad shows that President Biden is playing defense.
“If you have to run political ads saying that your candidate is ‘sharp as a knife,’ he’s not sharp as a knife,” said Outkick founder Clay Travis. “And the guy can’t really even handle walking into a Wawa. He was trying, did you see the video where he’s trying to close the box and then he orders the milkshake at the wrong place? This came on the heels of his last trip to a gas station where he’s the only person wearing sunglasses and nobody seems to want to interact with him at all.”
“Look, there’s four years that separate Trump and Biden. That’s true. Biden’s 81, Trump is 77. There’s about 20 years that separate their ability to walk and interact with people in unscripted situations,” he continued.
