The COMMENTARY podcast does something a little different to celebrate Election Day eve. We went back into the archives to reexamine the last podcast ahead of Election Day 2016 and, upon review, there are a lot of eerie similarities between then and now.

“Maybe some people voted for Trump because they’re racists”
Leave it to JPod to take a smear and lend credibility.
Almost as rage inducing as “Obama was so concerned Trump was a foreign agent, he had to start an investigation”
You guys are so completely marinated in the mainstream media views that you’re all ready for the BBQ.
What are going to believe, the polls or your lying eyes? The displays of Trump support are not off-beat anecdotes, but regular occurrences across the country.
Lunch suggestion for you guys, next week:
BBQ Black Crow
The “racists” must be disappointed.
And why in the world would Obama think that?
If you want to talk racism let’s tally up the racist comments made by Joe Biden.
“You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking,”
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
Praised segregationist George Wallace as “someone who’s not afraid to stand up and offend people, someone who wouldn’t pander but would say what the American people know in their gut is right,”
“Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this.”
“That’s one of the things that he finds was most in need when he was over there in Iraq for a year,” Biden said during remarks at the 40th anniversary of the Legal Services Corporation. “That people would come to him and talk about what was happening to them at home in terms of foreclosures, in terms of bad loans that were being … I mean these Shylocks who took advantage of, um, these women and men while overseas.”
“We should challenge students in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
Trump can’t hold China accountable for COVID-19 because Americans can’t distinguish “between a South Korean and someone from Beijing.”
“You’ve got more questions?” Biden replied. “Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Almost as rage inducing as “Obama was so concerned Trump was a foreign agent, he had to start an investigation”
Indeed. I will fix it for Pod: Obama was so concerned that Hillary had lost to Trump, he had to start an investigation.
It wasn’t an either or for me it was “well if one person voted Trump due to being racist, it means the smear is true” line of thinking
I’m well aware of Joe’s history of casual racism. He’s possibly my least favorite politician in my lifetime.
Come on, maybe there are like 3 or 4 people in this country who fit this statement.
