Biden Team Tears Into ‘Unhinged Criminal’ Trump Capitol Visit In Blistering Memo: ‘Return To The Scene Of The Crime’

President Joe Biden’s campaign tore into “unhinged criminal” ex-President Donald Trump over his “return to the scene of the crime” — meetings with congressional Republicans on Capitol Hill — in a blistering memo.
Trump met with congressional Republicans on Capitol Hill Thursday, many of whom he had not seen since the January 6 attack, and for the first time since becoming a convicted felon. It was a wild meeting that was followed by a chummy press conference at the NRSC.
After the meeting, Biden-Harris 2024 put out a campaign memo aggregating reporting from within the meeting, and blasting Trump as an “unhinged criminal” with an “extreme agenda”:
Today, Donald Trump returned to Capitol Hill for the first time since inspiring a violent insurrection in a desperate attempt to overturn the results of an election he lost — this time as a twice-impeached convicted felon. Trump was supposed to be meeting with his MAGA allies in Congress to draw up their plans to enact extremist Project 2025 policies in a second term.
And per usual, Trump’s feeble ego got the best of him. Cue the bizarre tangents.
Here are a few reports of Trump’s unhinged field trip to Capitol Hill:
- Called Milwaukee, the largest city in a swing state and home of the 2024 Republican National Convention, a “horrible city”
- Once again incorrectly asserted that “everyone was against” Roe v. Wade
- Proposed increasing taxes and costs for tens of millions of Americans to give his donors a tax handout
- Claimed he “love(s) tariffs” — the same ones that are set to skyrocket costs for middle class families
- Called federal law enforcement “dirty no good bastards”
- Soft-launched losing the June 27 debate against President Biden: “Maybe I’ll lose the debate on purpose”
- Ranted about Taylor Swift for the second time this week
- Sounded like a “drunk uncle at your family reunion”
What he did not do:
- Apologize to law enforcement who were attacked on January 6
- Tell Republicans to protect IVF and contraception
- Change anyone’s mind that he’s an unhinged criminal
The following is a statement from Biden-Harris 2024 Rapid Response Director Ammar Moussa on Trump’s unhinged day on the Hill:
“Three years after inspiring a mob of violent insurrectionists to storm the Capitol, Donald Trump returned to the scene of the crime as a convicted felon, disgraced loser, and more unhinged than ever before. Between rants about law enforcement and attacks on the site of the RNC convention, Trump doubled down on an extreme agenda of higher taxes for working families, raising costs for the middle class, and fewer freedoms for Americans. Nothing Trump says today can erase his legacy on Capitol Hill — but his words offer a preview of the national nightmare we would endure in his second term.”
Biden also posted a scathing ad ahead of the meeting that featured dramatic footage and news reporting of the riot, as well as choice Trump quotes:
