A few hours after Tony Bobulinski appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show to deliver a damning firsthand account of the FBI’s interference in the 2020 election on behalf of Joe Biden, the president himself offered a glimpse of the Tammany Hall hubris he has relied on for protection for so long.
Caught on a hot mic in Fort Myers, Fla., was the following sotto voce exchange between Biden and the “nonpartisan” mayor of that conservative city, Ray Murphy. The whole thing was recorded by TV cameras standing by for the president’s press conference with Gov. Ron DeSantis on hurricane recovery efforts.
“Thanks for everything. Thanks for coming down. We appreciate it,” says Murphy, shaking the president’s hand and squeezing his shoulder. “Keep the faith,” Biden says, under his breath.
