During Labor Day weekend, Democratic presidential candidate decided to visit his late son Beau Biden’s grave. However, this personal visit was met with a tweet attack from Trump staffer Francis Brennan

While there are still some months left for the US Presidential elections, presidential candidates and their teams are not leaving any stone unturned to prove why they deserve to win. Each side is keeping a hawk-eyed watch on each other’s statements and moves. During the Labor Day weekend, the Democratic presidential candidate decided to visit his late son Beau Biden’s grave. However, this personal visit was met with a tweet attack from Francis Brennan, whose bio reads as Director of Strategic Response for @RealDonaldTrump 2020 Campaign @TeamTrump + @TrumpWarRoom, who wrote: REPORTER: "Mr. Vice President come talk to us." Joe Biden just keeps meandering along."

The former vice president has always spoken about the deep connection he had with his late son Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015. He had announced Beau’s death in a statement to the New York Times, saying: "It is with broken hearts that Hallie, Hunter, Ashley, Jill and I announce the passing of our husband, brother and son, Beau, after he battled brain cancer with the same integrity, courage and strength he demonstrated every day of his life. In the words of the Biden family: Beau Biden was, quite simply, the finest man any of us have ever known.” Even after announcing that he is running for president, Biden had said Beau was the one who "should be the one running for president, not me."

Now, Brennan’s comments didn’t sit well with Twitter users. Soon a lot of users hit back at the Trump staffer. One user pointed out, "Francis Brennan doesn't know what meandering means. Walking to your dead son's grave ISN'T meandering. AND he even waved. So wtf? Why isn't Francis Brennan talking about the CURRENT potus meandering once again on the golf course, as he does every wknd w 190k dead."

Another said, "Just when you thought they couldn’t slump any lower, the Trump campaign really just mocked Joe Biden for visiting his dead son’s grave."

One user stated, "A man going to visit the graves of his wife, children and parents after church services is not 'meandering along' What sort of horrible person would say such a thing."

A user retorted, "I would LOVE meandering Joe Biden as our president, as opposed to rambling, digressive, & convoluted Trump. More meandering, PLEASE!"

"Meandering definition: Convoluted or undirected thought or language. Example: "Trump has a penchant for obscure verbal meanderings," commented a user.

One posted a gif of POTUS and wrote: "Trump "meandering" the wrong way at the G20 summit:"

Another user wrote, "Seems to me that meandering more aptly describes trump tweets or anytime he opens his mouth. @JoeBiden
was visiting his sons grave after church. Covid45 was playing golf or tweeting none sense."

"I was wrong, they may see a “meandering” Biden post-church attendance, visiting his Veteran son’s grave site... whilst Trump is golfing and rage tweeting. #Priorities" another said.

According to a 2019 report in The Hill,  Brennan left his role as co-founder of the NTK Network to work as a director of strategic response and to oversee the Trump campaign’s war room. According to a 2015 mcclatchydc.com report, he was the war room director at the conservative political action committee, America Rising during the 2016 presidential elections. Brennan, 25 at that time, was quoted as saying, "We try to just pump out as many facts as we can. Everything we do is fact-based. It’s not scrutinized or opinion-based. It’s all facts. We have to prove what we are saying. We can’t just say things." This was in context to groups working on initiatives to not let Hillary Clinton win the election.
