        Among those issues, according to people familiar with the discussions, was student worry that their achievements would be overshadowed by a stump speech. They have expressed frustration that the format of the event and the level of security required for such a high-profile visit resulted in limited tickets for family members, many of whom would be required to watch from an overflow room.

          So we’re moving goalposts and just straight-up refusing to answer a simple question about why it seems like the thing you posted was not just misleadingingly framed, but actually false. Sounds good.

          I do understand that I haven’t been real polite to you and it creates a certain pressure to “get a win” by making some kind of counterpoint. Mission accomplished, I guess. Biden did actually give the speech he was invited to give, even though he’s also campaigning and that makes things more complicated in some ways. It’s true. You caught him.

            Biden’s losing black support, of course he’s going to pander. Did you watch the speech? I honestly have no idea how he’s expected to make it another 4 years. It’s elder abuse at this point.
