Romney Praises Biden, Who Called Trump a ‘Clown’ and a ‘Racist,’ for Staying Above Vile Discourse

Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney is apparently the forgiving type. Maybe a little too forgiving.

Romney released a statement on Tuesday decrying the current state of political discourse in the United States. His statement is careful to name both President Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as being guiltiest of some of the worst, most over-the-top rhetoric.

But more interesting than those who Romney says are guilty of lowering the discourse is that the senator conspicuously portrays Democratic nominee Joe Biden as being supposedly above the fray. The problem here is that Biden really is not above getting in the mud. You would think that Romney, of all people, whom Biden claimed in 2012 would put black people “back in chains,” would know this.

“I have stayed quiet with the approach of the election,” reads the senator’s statement. “But I’m troubled by our politics, as it has moved away from spirited debate to a vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation — let alone the birthplace of modern democracy.” . . .

Let’s not forget that it was Biden who built his career in the Senate on being a ruthless knife fighter and who had several outbursts during that travesty of a first presidential debate. Let’s not forget that while on a national stage, it was Biden who called his perfectly belligerent opponent a “racist,” a “liar,” a “clown,” and the “worst president America has ever had.” Biden even told the president to “shut up” and to “keep yapping.” (Read more from “Romney Praises Biden, Who Called Trump a ‘Clown’ and a ‘Racist,’ for Staying Above Vile Discourse” HERE)
