In his latest campaign gaffe,sex parady video Joe Biden's campaign team forgot to scoop up the social media handles and web domain associated with a new campaign outreach effort. Now, Team Trump owns them.
As Gizmodo reports, Team Biden unveiled its Latinx outreach campaign — "Todos Con Biden" (which translates to "Everyone With Biden") — on Tuesday. Problem is, they forgot to grab all the digital assets associated with that slogan before it went public.
So, in a digitally savvy move, Trump's campaign snatched them up instead, grabbing the Todos Con Biden URL as well as the Facebook and Twitter pages, and leveraging them as anti-Biden accounts.

Meanwhile, a Biden rep told ABC, "It is no surprise that Trump's Campaign would resort to childish antics like this to take attention away from this President's appalling record of separating families and using immigrants as scapegoats, fomenting hatred and white supremacy, and trying to take away health care from millions of Americans who need it."
Say what you will about Biden as a candidate, but when a Midwestern spice company is more effective at digital political campaigns, you're probably in trouble.
