Nancy Pelosi and other Democrat Party bosses publicly embarrassed Joe Biden by taking the Presidency away from him.
But there was a final insult to come.
And it’s now clear Democrats planned to humiliate Joe Biden in one final way.
Democrats bump Joe Biden from primetime
The first night of the Democratic National Convention was organized as an ode to Joe Biden.
Biden was slated to deliver a keynote address where he and the delegates in the hall got to pretend Biden wasn’t the victim of a coup that canceled the votes of 14,000,000 Democrats who cast their ballot for Biden in the primaries.
Typically, the keynote address takes place in the primetime 10PM hour to maximize viewership.
But on the first night of the Democratic National Convention, the program ran long.
And yet the schedule fell farther and farther behind, pushing Biden long out of primetime and into the 11 o’clock hour when many Americans had to go to bed.
I’m tapping out – I can’t stay up this late, we all have lives and kids. God speed to our 81 year old President getting through the speech at this hour.
Whatever producers did this to him and let it go over this long at this hour is an asshole and it is disrespectful to Biden.

Biden ended up not speaking until 11:26 PM.
all the twitter chatter got me curious so looked when sitting presidents started their convention speeches
just for context
Obama 2016: at 10:57 PM ET
Trump 2020: at 10:24 PM ET
Biden 2024: at 11:26 PM ET*

This was no accident
Conventions are tightly managed pep rallies where the party and the campaign leave nothing to chance.
The schedule isn’t slipshod because this is a four-day long infomercial they get once every four years.
Election forecaster Nate Silver saw this for what it was – a purposeful effort by Democrats to keep the wildly unpopular Joe Biden out of primetime and away from a mass TV audience.
The media is very East Coast focused though, you’ve gotta be pretty naive to think the prolonged DNC tonight is for any reason other than diminishing Biden’s visibility. https://t.co/LSd5DJzrON

Democrats want the American people to think that Kamala Harris is an entirely new character on the American political scene with no connection to the disaster of the last four years.
And for as much as the Party mouthpieces tried to claim Joe Biden was a historically great President, if they believed that was the case, they would have had him speaking on Thursday night in primetime to accept the nomination as opposed to burying his speech in the graveyard hour on the opening night.
