Biden heckled at Terry McAuliffe rally in Virginia: 'It's not a Trump rally, let him holler'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Biden was heckled by an audience member during an appearance in Virginia on Friday and stopped his speech to address the individual.
"That's OK, that's alright, let him talk," Biden said as the crowd began to stir when an unknown individual started yelling from the back.
"Look, it's not a Trump rally let him holler, no one's paying attention," he added, causing Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, the Democrat Biden was there to support, to chuckle and clap in the background.
It was unclear what the individual was yelling but reporters on the scene suggested he was saying "Stop Line 3!" in reference to an Enbridge pipeline project.
Biden was in Virginia to raise money for McAuliffe, who previously served as the commonwealth's governor from 2014 to 2018. He is now running against Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin, who is backed by Donald Trump, for the position.
"Terry and I share a lot in common - I ran against Donald Trump and so is Terry," Biden said. "And I whipped Donald Trump in Virginia and so will Terry."
Recent polling shows McAuliffe with a narrow four-point lead over Youngkin.
Approximately 500 people attended the event, which left the venue roughly half empty. On YouTube, fewer than 500 people were watching on the main channel streaming the event channel at any given time.
The paltry crowd size mirrored an event earlier this week at a CNN town hall event where Biden was criticized for speaking to a half-empty room.

Biden told the crowd (if you can call it that) that McAuliffe was running against Trump!
500 people is an astronomical number for a dementia joe rally. I wonder if any of them were paid to be there?
And he is supposed to be the most popular president in history!
So they say,,,,,,
They do say a lot. Biden is widely popular, Black people can't vote, Conservatives aren't taking the vaccine and 2 nights ago Biden said that Republicans believe democrats are "sucking the blood out of kids!"
It's breathtaking!
Who says Biden is "the most popular president in history!" ??
Oh come, come, we had at least 2 here who were constantly posting his poll numbers only a month ago
Recent poll numbers are not the same thing as "the most popular president in history!"
They were to those two members.
Billy Conn used to look for an opening. I'm prepared.
I need context or translation of that.
That sentence wasn't for you. It was for our readers. Some of them may remember how Billy Conn used to take his time sizing up his opponent. You could never let your guard down or he'd sneak that little jab in.
What are you talking about ? You just addressed me with the "Billy Conn" words. My response to you was I don't understand what you're posting here, please explain.

Which supports your false claim HOW Vic?
I had to look up who he is. He is a boxer for those here who don't know who he is.
from what century?
William David Conn was an Irish American professional boxer and Light Heavyweight Champion famed for his fights with Joe Louis. He had a professional boxing record of 63 wins, 11 losses and 1 draw, with 14 wins by knockout. His nickname, throughout most of his career, was "The Pittsburgh Kid." He died in 1993.
whoever McAuliffe finally runs against will be running for Trump.
(insert stupid emojis here)
Trump endorsed Youngkin, McAuliffe's opponent.
What motivated you to change Gox News' original title to make us seem worse for President Biden?

THAT IS A LIE.

Actually, it's a QUESTION.
The original headline was updated by Fox. You know, that practice that you decry when the NYT does it...
Imagine if McAuliffe loses?
I don't think I want to be hanging around here if that happens.
I do, especially as a Virginian
It will be comedy gold. Stick around for the fun.
The pair that beats a full (in this case empty) house.
Biden said the whole country is watching the Virginia governor's race.
Really?
The article title updated to match Fox News article
I have to object! If you click on the Fox front page story - you get the title I had.
You shouldn't give them your home phone number either.
The claim was that I changed the title. That was a lie.
You and some other far rightwing posters should thank Perrie for giving you a venue to spread the, um, stuff you share. I do not think misinformation or especially disinformation should be allowed...
We'll meet again tomorrow

That is just exactly what I was talking about!

Fortunately you and progressives don’t get to determine for the rest of us what is misinformation or disinformation. Yours and the secular progressive ideology have no say in using your opinion as a tool to censor us. Big tech social media and it’s so called fact checkers censors us, the mainstream media does too. The fascist Biden regime wants to do so too and use the above to do it as their agents on an even more wide spread manner. We conservatives will not give up our media, our on line sources, our new media , new social media. We will not bend in our beliefs religion or political wise in order to make liberals feel in control over us. Why would you presume to decide for me what is allowed for me. Those who came over here from elsewhere will not drive us away.
you mean like how the religious wackos think they can dictate LGBTQ rights and women's reproductive health choices?
bfd. overruled.
Oh dear Goddess will you just STFU!
I can't leave without a concluding statement:
Our resident lefties can't defend the moron they got elected via a pandemic. Instead they are reduced to attempts at derailing and landing an insult (no opening for that though).
Two dumb democrats addressed a handful of people in Virginia. Without a bogey man on the ballot McAuliffe, who is the favorite could lose. Why is that? Because he is backing CRT and the idiot who is stumping for him has our southern border wide open and runaway inflation in the mix. In other words it's a referendum on progressive policy.
Have a good night
The GOP ticket is deep and the candidate for Lt. governor is a conservative African American woman who is a retired military officer and the AG candidate is a prominent Hispanic American conservative lawyer. A great ticket!

Interesting, though, that our resident reactionaries try, and fail miserably, to defend the moron they think is going to be "reinstalled" as President in August.
The Virginia campaign will be very interesting, especially with the shit-for-brains mini-me Trumpist candidate the republicans are running. It will be really interesting if the republican shit-for-brains Dear Leader campaigns for him. The republicans are going to try to run a culture war campaign. It's all they've got.
I'm so disappointed. in the past any real POTUS would have encouraged the crowd to beat that heckler senseless and then offered to pay their legal expenses. /s
We are now this? "You think you're so clever, classless and free. But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see." J Lennon.
Describes the MAGA to the T.
We are working class multi racial peasants in open opposition to and rebellion against Biden and his secular progressive elitist policies.
That is what the Confederacy claimed in 1861.
See 7.1
Then you define being in, "Open Rebellion"...
Now, that is hilarious. It's like "Theater of the Absurd". Good thing I wasn't drinking something when I read that or it probably would have shot right out of my nose.
You really need to have a good sense of humor when you read some of this stuff, and this one takes the cake. What a riot.
Was the Confederacy in open rebellion in 1861?
Is the Pope Catholic? In real life that kind of punkish impertinence will get a man decked!
But, since you want to know, the Confederate States of America were in "open revolt" against the United States of America in 1861.
That is a totally dishonest account of the above
God rallies are dumb. Such a waste of time.
I can't remember anything good McAuliffe did as Governor the first time
