The campaign quoted a critical op-ed of Biden from the right wing Washington Times, in which Biden's candidacy is compared to a "rotting corpse" and the former Vice President is referred to as a "dead guy."
Joe Biden is the same rotting corpse of a candidate he was three weeks ago. It’s just that Democrats have decided… https://t.co/TJcTLNWA3r— Team Trump (Text TRUMP to 88022) (@Team Trump (Text TRUMP to 88022)) 1584113040.0
Biden has come under attack for some verbal gaffes he's made on the campaign trail, upon which the Trump campaign has seized.
The campaign has raised eyebrows in the past with bizarre memes about Greta Thunberg and videos from Avengers movies, but rarely have its trolling tweets included such disturbing imagery about a fellow candidate.

This is reprehensible. Also, entirely on-brand. As @AdamSerwer so wisely put it, the cruelty is the point. https://t.co/UIqfpvKTiB— Rex Huppke (@Rex Huppke) 1584116002.0

The morbid imagery was only exacerbated by the current public health crisis.
In the middle of a pandemic ... with people dying ... this is what you tweet? Disgusting. https://t.co/X3ukdWiUjz— Bradley P. Moss (@Bradley P. Moss) 1584114837.0

The tweet becomes even more offensive with the knowledge that, over the course of his life, Biden has buried a son, a daughter, and a wife—all before their time.
