During a campaign rally in New Hampshire, President Joe Biden made a remark about locking up President Donald Trump before realizing his mistake and trying to correct himself. While discussing Trump’s proposed changes to federal agencies, Biden claimed Trump was dangerous, but his statement about locking Trump up quickly went viral.
Biden mentioned that Trump had extreme ideas, including getting rid of civil servants and physically eliminating those who opposed him. He then said, “We gotta lock him up,” which was met with applause from his supporters. However, Biden soon tried to walk back the comment, clarifying, “Politically lock him out.”
The incident drew widespread attention, with many comparing Biden’s words to Trump’s infamous “lock her up” chant from 2016. Social media quickly picked up on the gaffe, with some accusing Biden of political attacks.
Kamala Harris, meanwhile, has been actively discouraging similar chants at her rallies, telling supporters that the courts, not the campaign, would handle legal matters.
As the video continues to circulate, Biden’s comment has reignited discussions about his campaign rhetoric and whether his words reflect his true intentions.
