The attempt to label Trump as racist through leaked recordings is met with skepticism by the public. Instead of focusing \u200don these claims, people are more concerned about\u2063 issues like \u200binflation and job opportunities. The article highlights the failure \u2062of smear tactics against Trump and the need to \u2063address substantial campaign issues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/cillianzeal\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/cillianzeal\/%20\"><span>C. Douglas Golden<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   June 4, 2024 at 8:49am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>If you go back to the same rhetorical well over and over again, you\u2019ll end up with less and less water each time. Someone apparently hasn\u2019t told Democrats about this bedrock political reality.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, take the claim that Donald Trump is an arrant racist. Please. This was suffering from diminishing returns on Sept. 9, 2016, when then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton coined the infamous phrase \u201cbasket of deplorables\u201d during a campaign speech.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d think that, after what happened there, Democrats would have learned a lesson. But, if they learned lessons, they wouldn\u2019t be Democrats \u2014 which is why President Joe Biden\u2019s campaign, almost eight years since \u201cbasket of deplorables\u201d had its debut, is still trying to make \u201cTrump be racist\u201d happen, in spite of all available evidence that it\u2019s not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>The latest attempt came via a video released Monday by the official Biden-Harris HQ account on TikTok, featuring a smarmy millennial\/Gen Z\u2019er of color trotting a claim by a former producer on \u201cThe Apprentice\u201d that Trump used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kimberly-klacik-addresses-the-n-word-cancel-culture\/\" title=\"Kimberly Klacik Addresses The N-Word &#038; Cancel Culture\">n-word<\/a> on tape.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/trump-caught-tape-using-n-172700170.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Daily News<\/a>, the producer, Bill Pruitt, said he didn\u2019t come out until now because his non-disclosure agreement recently expired. However, he also has a new tell-all book coming out (quelle surprise!) in what just so happens to be an election year (quelle surprise!\u00b2). I\u2019ll leave the credibility of that one to your summary judgment.<\/p>\n<p>But wait, there\u2019s less! To buttress this claim, the Biden-Harris HQ went to \u201cDonald Trump\u2019s own former assistant\u201d \u2026 \u201cApprentice\u201d villain and tabloid fixture Omarosa Manigault Newman, who claimed in her own tell-all back in 2018 that she knew of a recording where he said the racial slur.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/doj-sues-omarosa-scheming-former-adviser-may-fork-50k\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manigault Newman<\/a> never mentioned hearing the tape for herself in her memoir, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2018\/08\/10\/636955054\/omarosa-tells-npr-she-heard-trump-n-word-tape-contradicting-her-own-tell-all-boo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR<\/a>, she claimed she heard the tape from some guy out in Los Angeles, as you can suss out from the short clip from \u201cMeet the Press\u201d included in the TikTok video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone notice a pattern here?\u201d our smarmy millennial-ish guide asked, before claiming, \u201cThis is the same man who called to execute innocent black men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rest does not get any better, I can assure you:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@bidenhq\/video\/7376092600966614318\" data-video-id=\"7376092600966614318\">\n<section><a title=\"@bidenhq\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@bidenhq?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@bidenhq<\/a>wow\u2026<a title=\"\u266c original sound - Biden-Harris HQ\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7376092618775694126?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound \u2013 Biden-Harris HQ<\/a><\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This would practically be laughable if the attempt to vitiate the racial climate of the American electorate over Donald Trump\u2019s purported \u201cdeplorability\u201d wasn\u2019t a serious glimpse into the lengths that the Biden-Harris campaign is willing to go to in order to ensure that President Joe Biden keep his senescent behind in the Oval Office chair.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@bidenhq\/video\/7376092600966614318?embed_source=121374463%2C121433650%2C121404359%2C121351166%2C121331973%2C120811592%2C120810756%2C72248228%3Bnull%3Bembed_name&#038;refer=embed&#038;referer_url=www.dailymail.co.uk%2Fnews%2Farticle-13490953%2FBizarre-post-Biden-official-TikTok-slammed.html&#038;referer_video_id=7376092600966614318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">comments section<\/a> revealed why this wasn\u2019t going to work.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, as for the supposed n-word tape, one response summed up why this is a non-starter: \u201cWhy don\u2019t they post it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, because after nearly a decade of searching for it to discredit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/aaron-rodgers-posts-priceless-moment-trump-major-backlash-allegedly-ignoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> \u2014 and they\u2019ve searched for this about as hard as they\u2019ve searched for the so<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blue-state-blues-the-worst-prosecutor-in-america-is-running-for-new-york-attorney-general\/\" title=\"Blue State Blues: The Worst Prosecutor in America Is Running for New York Attorney General\">-called \u201cpee tape<\/a>,\u201d in case you\u2019ve forgotten \u2014 it hasn\u2019t turned up.<\/p>\n<p>Are we to expect that NBC and the production team for \u201cThe Apprentice,\u201d which is likely lousy with liberals, shielded Donald Trump from the tape being released? Of course not. Massive assertions posited without evidence can just as easily be dismissed without evidence, as well.<\/p>\n<p>And, for the most part, the responses indicated that this wasn\u2019t what the vast majority of American voters \u2014 yes, even those checking out the Biden-Harris HQ on woke social-media black hole TikTok \u2014 were worried about, as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is my gas more expensive than my phone?\u201d one respondent asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are groceries so expensive?\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-biden-says-americans-money-spend-high-priced-groceries-cnn-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asked another<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is my rent expensive?\u201d asked a third.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy can\u2019t a find a job as masters prepared person?\u201d one snarky commenter said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t even afford a McNugget,\u201d another noted.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Is inflation the most significant issue in the campaign?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And one user put it bluntly in just two words: \u201cwe\u2019re broke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These were the bulk of the comments under the video, as well, not just a few cherry-picked to make things look bad. In other words, the jig is up, even on millennial-friendly tech platforms that should be firmly in the Biden campaign\u2019s corner.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s yet another reminder that, in the nine years since Donald Trump took the escalator ride down to announce his candidacy, the Democrats have thrown every smear tactic in the book at him, particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-bans-travel-foreign-country-despite-disputed-allegation-called-trump-racist-thing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in regards to race<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t work even in 2016 and 2020, when most people weren\u2019t dealing with soaring inflation and gargantuan piles of government debt. Now that we are, the racist card is going to be even less effective.\u00a0 When even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mother-sues-tiktok-sons-death-says-alive-today-hadnt-seen-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok crowd<\/a> turns against you, it\u2019s a sign that it\u2019s well past time to move onto substantive issues.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>I heard a chilling comment the other day: \u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>That wasn\u2019t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet.
