RNC's attack on Joe Biden backfires [View all]

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/rncs-attack-on-joe-biden-backfires-internet-cheers-old-photo-of-joe-holding-his-young-son-in-his-arms/

RNC Rapid Response Director Steve Guest on Monday tweeted a photo of a young Joe Biden, cradling in his arms either Hunter Biden or his now-late son, Beau Biden. In the decades-old image the young child is wearing a Washington Redskins hat.

Guest appended a question to his tweet: “Hey Joe Biden are you still a Redskins fan?”

Early Monday the Redskins announced they are “retiring” their team’s racist name, amid tremendous pressure from the left.

The attack backfired, as many on social media fell for the endearing photo of the young U.S. Senator in a warm, very personal moment with his child.

It’s not clear exactly how old the photo is, but Biden lost his one-year old daughter, Naomi, and his wife in a car accident around the time the photo would have been taken.

Guest quickly deleted the tweet, but not before it generated tremendous outrage. . . .
