As Twitchy reported earlier, Joe Biden arrived in Kenosha, Wisconsin to a rather reserved welcome, which a reporter said was “deliberate.” One of Biden’s stops was Grace Lutheran Church, where he held a “community meeting” that left plenty of room for social distancing. Surprisingly, Biden did take questions from Kenosha residents, but one resident seemed to give the game away by opening, “I was told to go off this paper but I can’t.”
It appears Joe Biden’s team scripted the questions to him in this church right now… This woman just walked up to the mic and said:
“I’m going to be honest, I was told to go off this paper but I just can’t. You need the truth.”

It appears Joe Biden’s campaign is screening the participants at his event in Kenosha and even gave the participants a SCRIPT to read!

Scripted. It’s all scripted. But we already knew that.

We’re assuming the paper was given to her by Biden’s peeps?

Not surprising as he had all of their “spontaneous” thoughts written on the papers he was holding. He just keeps getting more pathetic each day. #BidenDementia

And even if it isn’t a “script” it’s certainly approved words and questions.

It was a set up

That seems to be the Democrats’ go-to excuse this week.
Did he even acknowledge the script in response?
— Largely Peaceful Tsukkomi (@ljenkins314) September 3, 2020
WHAT. How is he still running. He can’t even speak unless he has a script.
— ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (@tbone_631) September 3, 2020
I’d wager that even this going off-script was scripted.
— Leslie ن (@LADowd) September 3, 2020
Biden can’t even answer an unscripted question . This is pitiful.

Definitely watch the whole clip; it’s worth it.
I dare anyone on the left who’s been defending or minimizing the riots these past months to tell it to that woman to her face.
The left and their adjunct media and Dem party are destroying this country.

She is right, the people are tired of what’s going on, Democrats do not care about ANY American person outside their circle!

Regardless of her political stance… good for her. We need more ladies like that on all sides 👍

This woman is going to be on Fox News tonight. They aren’t going to be able to ignore this.
— Easton Croy (@CroyEaston) September 3, 2020
And, odds are, they’re still gonna vote for him.

She said it. The truth will go no where else. MSM and whoever else won’t tell this fact: Joe can not debated. His handlers are doing all his work and MANIPULATING the American people.

Zero energy in that room. more “proof of life” videos

This reminds us Biden earlier this week having staff members calling on reporters for questions when there were probably only half-a-dozen reporters there due to the Biden campaign’s strict rules on social distancing.

Update:
According to the Biden campaign, the woman’s talking points came from her own organization, Black Lives Activists Kenosha. Still watch the video, though.
Pool report: “Regarding the comment from Porsche Bennett of Black Lives Activists Kenosha (BLAK) that she was not going to read from the paper she was given, campaign says she was NOT given a script and any talking points or such came from her own organization.”
— Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) September 3, 2020
Bennett said the paper she had was given to her by her organization. The name of the group is Black Lives Activists Kenosha (BLAK) and Bennett is an organizer. Here’s what she told me about that paper and why she went off-script. 2/3
— Jonathan Capehart (@CapehartJ) September 3, 2020
“It was just little specific demands that we wanted put out there…but I felt like much more was needed to be said. So I didn’t go off our demands strictly on the paper. I spoke straight from my heart…He needed to hear more of what was from our hearts,” Bennett told me. 3/3
