Joe Biden's 'Dark Brandon' Meme Was Insensitive

Huff Post  

Shortly after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl on Sunday, President Joe Biden’s social media accounts shared a “Dark Brandon” meme with the caption “Just like we drew it up.” The meme was supposed to reference the right-wing conspiracy theory that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship was set up as a runway to a political play. Biden tried to do damage control with this tweet: I give you my word: I'm working day and night to find the means to bring all the hostages home, to ease the humanitarian crisis, to end the terror threat, and to bring peace to Gaza and Israel – an enduring peace with two states for two peoples. Though Biden has reportedly become tougher on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even prior to the Super Bowl Massacre, U.S. policy has not changed. On this week’s episode of “I Know That’s Right,” I break down why Biden needs to focus more on the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
