Reject Joe Biden’s Freudian slip

Despite the use Sunday night of a teleprompter during his nationally broadcast address concerning the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Joe Biden managed to utter twice a stunning Freudian slip.

He declared that, “In America, we resolve our differences at the battle box. You know, that’s how we do it, at the battle box, not with bullets.”

The White House transcribed the word battle as “battol” and struck it through next to “ballot” in brackets. But the normal spelling seems more consistent with Biden’s declaration to donors last week that, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

Victor Davis Hanson has reminded us of sixteen other examples of celebrities espousing physical attacks on President Trump, including a popular play in New York’s Central Park.

Such rhetoric must stop. But those who have indulged in it must be held accountable, as well.
