President Joe Biden was brutally roasted by current and former members of his administration after a high-profile flub in New Hampshire on Tuesday.

At an event in the Granite State, Biden said that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wants to “replace every civil servant. Every single one,” and “thinks he has a right of the Supreme Court ruling on immunity to be able, if need be, if – if it was the case, to actually eliminate, physically eliminate. Shoot, kill someone who is – he believes to be a threat to him.”

“I mean, so I know this sounds bizarre. I know if I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up. We gotta lock him up,” continued Biden. After the audience began to applaud, the president caught himself and said that he meant “politically lock him up.”

“Lock him out. That’s what we have to do,” he concluded.

Online, some speculated that Biden’s comments might not be helpful to Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. Axios’s Alex Thompson received a text from one former Biden administration official who suggested as much before opining, “We gotta lock Joe up.”

Another official currently working for Biden provided another perspective that was rosier for Democrats, but might have been even more devastating for his boss.

“For better or worse, no one is listening to him anymore and his words have little power and less reach. It’s a blip. Gone in any meaningful way by mid-day tomorrow if it makes it that long,” posited the official.

In a speech in Eau Claire, Wisconsin this summer, Harris handled “Lock him up” chants by quipping that “the courts are gonna handle that part of it, what we’re gonna do is beat him in November.

Biden is not expected to appear on the campaign trail beside Harris before election day.
