Former President Donald Trump continued his obsession with crowd size on Sunday, claiming photos that showed a large crowd outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ Detroit rally last week were AI-generated. But one photographer who was in attendance confirmed to the Daily Beast that the images his camera captured were very real.

Biden is the current president. Bill and Hillary Clinton are both still immensely popular. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with showing them throw their support to Harris.

The emphasis was mostly on Hillary, who ended up historically unpopular back in 2016.[1] In fact books [2] have been written on the subject of why Clinton is so hated.

Biden - as president - is an unavoidable speaker and I said as much. I’ll give you Bill is fairly popular, despite being associated with establishment democrats.

Umm, she won the popular vote. Everyone’s well aware that conservatives hate her, and enough independents in enough swing states hated her to deny her the presidency, but that doesn’t mean that she’s an overall unpopular figure.

Every Democrat I know that voted for her, including myself, fucking hated her as a nominee. Do you honestly believe that Hillary Clinton is popular? That’s like, demonstrably false

Those independent votes are as important this election as they were in 2016, though.

So historically unpopular that she got more votes than the guy who “won” the election?
