Biden Bounces Back: Delivers Powerful Message at North Carolina Rally a Day After Debate

16402080178177

A night after a rather poor showing at the opening presidential debate, President Joe Biden was back on stage in Raleigh, North Carolina. Appearing more alert and healthier than the night before—his campaign stating he was battling a cold—Biden had a message for his supporters: “I intend to win this election.”

He had quite the powerful closing to his moment on stage:

“Let me close with this. I know I’m not a young man. I don’t walk as easily as I used to. I don’t talk as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to. Well, I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know, like millions of Americans, when you get knocked down, you get back up. I know what it will take to bring this economy to everybody. I know what it’ll take to rally the world to stand up against Putin and defend freedom. And I know what it takes to keep the world safe and free for the years ahead. Folks, I give you my word as a Biden, I would not be running again if I didn’t believe, with all my heart and soul that I can do this job because, quite frankly, the stakes are too high.”

Central Park 5 Trends on Twitter Following Final Presidential Debate

Central Park 5 Trends on Twitter Following Final Presidential Debate

It’s weeks until the 2020 Presidential election and the final debate aired on Thursday night.

In comparison to the first debate, Joe Biden was a lot more aggressive and took control of the conversation. When asked “Do you understand why African American parents are fearful for their children?”

Trump boldly responded, “Nobody has done more for the Black community than Donald Trump.” He hilariously excluded Abraham Lincoln and said the Obama administration didn’t contribute to prison reform as much as him. But Joe Biden responded with a powerful response that shook the room. “He commuted 20 people’s sentences. We commuted over 1,000. He was trying to get the Central Park 5 executed and none of them were guilty.”

Matia Reyes met Korey Wise at the Auburn Correctional Facility while serving a life sentence. He later confessed to beating and raping Trisha Meili who was jogging in Central Park that day and acting alone. A simple DNA test proved his confession and the rest was history.

They went on to fight for their lawsuit money for years but Ava Duvernay’s When They See Us docuseries introduced this New York horror story to a new generation and brought the men justice.

At the time the Exonerated 5’s attorney, Michael W. Warren said, “I think Donald Trump at the very least owes a real apology to this community and to the young men and their families.”

Check out Two Bees TV’s interview with Korey Wise below as he discusses his clothing line, upcoming book, and staying off of social media.

Trump has yet to apologize and had the opportunity to tonight. Check out some reactions below.

Make sure you go out to vote and vote early if you can.

Twitter user @CrazyJuice__ challenged her followers to choose their favorite soda pop between Tahitian Treat and Faygo, and the results were undoubtedly hilarious. Not much is known about Tahitian Treat, which is made by Keurig Dr. Pepper, which features a vast portfolio of carbonated beverages that typically rest in dollar stores and mom and pop corner joints.

So far, it seems like Tahitian Treat is the clear favorite although some folks are riding strong for Faygo. What about you? What’s your favorite between the two? Sound off in the comments section.

Andrew Gillum Cleans Up Ron DeSantis, Says “Racists Believe He’s A Racist”

Florida Gubenatorial Candidates Trade Attacks in Second Debate

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum has been embroiled in a tense fight against rival Ron DeSantis in the Florida governor’s race. Facing one another again in a debate, Gillum shut down his Republican opponent in epic fashion, saying at one point that even “racists believe he’s a racist” in Wednesday’s (Oct. 24) gubernatorial debate.

The Hill reports:

“My grandmother used to say a hit dog will holler and it hollered through this room,” Gillum said during a discussion about ongoing allegations of racism against DeSantis. “He’s got neo-Nazis helping out through this state.”

Gillum would be the state’s first black governor and his opponents include neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

“I’m not calling Mr. DeSantis a racist,” Gillum added. “I’m simply saying the racists believe he’s a racist.”

Gillum was the target of a supposed FBI sting after an undercover agent gifted him a pair of tickets to the hit Broadway musical Hamilton, which DeSantis tried to flip into a moment to reveal Gillum as untrustworthy because he didn’t report the gift to campaign officials. However, Gillum brushed it off by using a clever Jay-Z reference that had the crowd going wild.

Check out the clip below.
