    Well, based on where we’re at in America right now, I’d say it didn’t work too well in the first place.

        Well, Biden had a team to combat it but right-wingers cried first amendment.

      Biden was putting defenses together when Trump got elected. So, while the headline statement is a bit of an understatement, it isn’t entirely false.
