Joe Biden just withstood another plagiarism scandal and fresh off of that he decided to steal the campaign slogan of disgraced anti-Trump lawyer Michael Avenatti.
According to The Daily Caller:
Embattled attorney Michael Avenatti said former Vice President Joe Biden is using his “slogan and theme” with the “make America America again” line Biden used on the campaign trail Thursday.
…
“I used it throughout the US when I was exploring a run. Including in Iowa and at the Wing Ding last year. A supporter of mine even made a video centered on the message. It was my slogan and theme,” Avenatti told The Daily Caller News Foundation in a text message.
Avenatti, who briefly explored a presidential run and now faces a slew of criminal charges, did in fact use the line previously.
He closed an August 2018 speech at the annual Iowa Wing — a frequent stop for potential presidential candidates — by saying, “we will make America America again.”
Fox News carried Biden in Ottumwa live, and Trump had AF1 TVs on Fox.
Biden said Trump, who criticizes people in “bizarre” “damaging” ways, is threat to values of decency, honor.

Avenatti reportedly told the Daily Caller that since he won’t be using the slogan someone should because of how good of a slogan it is.
