Joe Biden Makes Staged Visit to a Wawa... And It Was Bad

Last week, Donald Trump made a surprise visit to a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta. During the visit, Trump was enthusiastically greeted by a largely black crowd of supporters, and ordered milkshakes for everyone. It was quite the visit, and a photo of him being hugged by a black woman went viral.

“That photograph of that black woman with President Trump is a nightmare for CNN, MSNBC, New York Times," civil rights attorney Leo Terrell told Fox News. "They have sent out a false narrative: ‘Trump is a racist, black people hate Trump.’ You see that photograph? That photograph shows a disconnect as to what the left-wing media is portraying.”

Naturally, the Biden campaign had to respond so they sent him to a Wawa in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Mayor Cherelle Parker. According to a report from CBS News, "Biden ordered a classic-size Italian hoagie with American cheese and a black-white milkshake from the Delaware County-based convenience store that recently celebrated its 60th anniversary."

Because, you know, he's a regular guy.

But the stop was another bust. Video from the visit showed that the only fans Biden had at the event were those in the media covering the campaign stop, and what made it even more hilarious is that Biden struggled to close his takeout box before ordering one of this handlers to take the box so he could order a milkshake.

As bad as this comes off, especially compared to Trump's Chick-fil-A visit last week, it's worse than you think. Every single moment of Biden's visit to the Wawa was staged. Even the cashier's tip was pre-planned.

This sad, staged attempt to compete with Trump comes after Biden's previous failed attempt to compete with another Trump visit. On Wednesday, the Biden campaign tried to replicate the energy and enthusiasm of Trump's visit to a Harlem bodega by going to a Sheetz gas station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. That didn't work out so well either.

At this point, someone at the Biden campaign should have figured out that they should stop trying to replicate the energy and enthusiasm that surrounds Trump and his campaign. Biden can't get excitement from liberal strongholds, but Trump can.
