Biden Mocks MAGA Substance Conspiracy Before Trump Debate
About a half hour out from Thursday night’s presidential debate, Joe Biden mocked the baseless theory pushed by Donald Trump and his right-wing allies that Biden may be using illicit substances to try to improve his debate performance, posting a photograph on X of him holding an aluminum can reading, “Get Real, Jack. It’s Just Water.”
The president’s post linked to his campaign website where one could buy a $4.60 can of “Dark Brandon’s Secret Sauce”—a name that alludes to what Biden often is referred to in memes created by his supporters.
Trump and many of his backers in Congress and in conservative media had demanded that Biden be drug tested prior to the debate.
