WATCH: Joe Biden Gets Defensive When Asked About How He Got the Ukrainian Prosecutor Fired

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. Former Vice President Joe Biden was asked about his shady dealings in Ukraine during an interview with New Hampshire’s WMUR-TV over the weekend.

“What about that council on foreign relations video, where you’re bragging about getting the prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, fired?” WMUR’s reporter asked. “If average Joe, and not Joe Biden, is watching that, how do they tell the difference between that kind of pressure that you exerted and the pressure that the president exerted?”

“Because I was exerting the pressure of the United States government, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the European Union and all of our allies,” Biden immediately replied. “All of them. Because the guy was corrupt. And I was the one who went to their Parlament and said it’s time for you to stand up and stop the corruption. You have a chance to break out of this now. That’s what that was about.”

Joe Biden Ducks Questions About Conflict of Interest in Ukraine

By Breitbart. Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed in an interview set to air Sunday morning that no one had been able to point to anything he had done wrong in Ukraine.

Biden told Manchester, New Hampshire’s WMUR-9:

My case has already been made. There’s not a single solitary person in this administration who said I did anything other than my job. Not anybody in the United States of America that has been involved at all. Not anybody abroad … I did my job, and I did it really well. The problem is here, this is all about Trump’s ability to take the focus off.

Joe Biden Claims Transgender Equality Is the ‘Civil Rights Movement of Our Time’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden is trying to capitalize off of a rift between Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) supporters over a quasi-endorsement from comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan by announcing his unqualified support for “trangender equality” in a tweet.

“Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time,” Biden said on social media Saturday night. “There is no room for compromise when it comes to basic human rights.”

Biden did not elaborate on what he belives constitutes “transgender equality,” and what he considers “compromise” on the issue, nor did he mention either Sanders or Rogan by name, but the reference was clear to those progressives currently battling over whether Sanders was right to Rogan’s support on his own social media profiles.

The statement isn’t necessarily a departure for Biden who, back in April, mentioned that he would support the “Equality Act,” a Democrat-authored House bill that would amend the 1964 Civil Rights act to outlaw discrimination based on “sexual orientation and gender identity.” That bill is controversial, as it includes language designed to compel public schools to allow transgender individuals who identify as female (but who are biologically male) to compete against female athletes on female-only sports teams.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) one of the bill’s more prominent sponsors, made it clear that expanding “access” to transgender athletes is a key element of the bill, denying biological reality: “Many states have sexual orientation and gender identity nondiscrimination laws, and all of them still have women’s sports. Arguments about transgender athletes participating in sports in accordance with their gender identity having competitive advantages have not been borne out.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Claims Transgender Equality Is the ‘Civil Rights Movement of Our Time'” HERE)

WATCH: Joe Biden Snaps on Reporter, Gets Physical Over Bernie Feud

/0 Comments/in , /by

At a campaign event in Iowa on Wednesday, Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden lost his cool when a reporter asked him about his apparent feud with fellow candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

“Yesterday, yesterday, you said you accepted Bernie’s apology. Now you’re attacking him. Why are you doing that?” CBS reporter Ed O’Keefe asked Biden, according to The New York Post. “Why wasn’t his apology enough, Mr. Vice President? Why attack Sanders?”

An agitated Biden walked toward the reporter, placed his hands on O’Keefe’s chest, and mockingly shouted, “Why, why, why, why, why, why, why! You’re getting nervous, man. Calm down! It’s okay!”

The Democrat then complained that Sanders only “apologized for saying that I was corrupt, he didn’t mention anything about whether or not I was telling the truth about Social Security.”

The former VP, with a clenched fist, gave O’Keefe a light punch on the chest before turning around and leaving the area.

Joe Biden Doesn’t Think Drunk Driving Should Be a Felony

/0 Comments/in , /by

2020 Democratic front-runner Joe Biden said his administration would fire Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who arrest and deport illegal immigrants who are not guilty of felony crimes, adding that he doesn’t “count drunk driving as a felony.” . . .

“They go off to school wondering whether their mom comes and picks them up [or] if she’s not going to be there because an ICE agent was there to arrest her. Or she takes him to the doctor, that she’s going to not be there because she is ‘undocumented’ and an ICE agent is going to pick him up,” he said.

“You change the culture by saying you are going to get fired. you are fired if, in fact, you do that. You only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that’s committed, and I don’t count drunk driving as a felony,” he added.

Bernie Campaign Goes off on Joe Biden: He ‘Repeatedly Betrayed Black Voters’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The national co-chair of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign tore into former Vice President Joe Biden’s record on race in an op-ed Sunday.

Biden has “repeatedly betrayed black voters,” Nina Turner argued in an op-ed published in South Carolina newspaper The State.

She hammered Biden’s opposition to forced desegregation busing and his work with segregationist senators and wrote: “Biden didn’t just vote for bills designed to prevent black students from accessing white schools: in a series of personal letters he actively courted pro-segregation senators to support the legislation.”

“Sanders, by contrast, began his work in politics by organizing civil rights protests. As a college student, he helped lead a local chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality in its push to desegregate housing. Sanders participated in the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington and was arrested for protesting rampant school segregation in Chicago,” Turner wrote.

“In addition, Sanders has been pushing an education plan that supports local efforts to combat racial segregation,” she added. (Read more from “Bernie Campaign Goes off on Joe Biden: He ‘Repeatedly Betrayed Black Voters'” HERE)

Another Lie? Biden Denies Opposing Osama Bin Laden Raid

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden was pressed to answer for his contradictory accounts of his role in the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

Biden, who years ago said he advised President Barack Obama not to carry out the operation, insisted to a reporter on Friday that this was not actually true, conflicting with accounts by several other top officials from the Obama administration.

“No, I didn’t, I didn’t,” Biden said before hopping on his campaign bus in Iowa.

The comment capped what appeared to be a brief interview in which Fox News’ Peter Doocey asked the former vice president questions related to the U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. . .

Biden’s description of his stance of the decision-making process behind the raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, has changed over the years. In 2012, he said his advice was, “Don’t go.” By 2015, he had settled on saying he had privately told Obama to “go.” (Read more from “Another Lie? Biden Denies Opposing Osama Bin Laden Raid” HERE)

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden told reporters on Saturday he would nominate former President Barack Obama to the Supreme Court “if he’d take it.”

“Biden asked here in Washington, Iowa, if he would ever nominate former President Obama to serve on the Supreme Court. ‘If he’d take it, yes,’” reported Wall Street Journal reporter Ken Thomas on Twitter. . .

On the campaign trail, Biden has on several occasions mentioned his loyalty to Obama including paying tribute to the former 44th president on “National Best Friends Day.” (Read more from “Biden Wants to Nominate Obama to the Supreme Court” HERE)

Protester Yells at Biden During Campaign Event: ‘Don’t Touch Kids, You Pervert!’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A protester at a rally for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden yelled at the former vice president on Sunday, telling him not to touch kids and calling him a “pervert.”

Biden and the protester, who is out of view in the video, go back and forth for several moments, with Biden saying, “Alright, I agree with you man, I agree, nice talking to you.”

The man shouted back at Biden, “Don’t touch kids, you pervert!”

ABC News reporter Molly Nagle tweeted about the incident, writing: “Wow—quite the start to @JoeBiden’s second event in NH. A man from the back of the room calls Biden a ‘pervert’ and accuses him of touching women and children, before a second man asks Biden where the money is he and his son ‘earned from Ukraine’ from the other side of the room.”

Biden has been called out for a long time over for inappropriately touching kids and women, including in a campaign ad from April 2019 from The Great America PAC.

Joe Biden Refuses to Comply With Potential Senate Impeachment Trial Subpoena (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden told reporters again that he would not comply if the Senate issues a subpoena to testify in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

Speaking to the Des Moines Register’s editorial board on Friday, the Democratic presidential front runner doubled down after being asked about a similar contention he made to NPR in early December.

“Do you stand by your earlier statements that you wouldn’t comply if you were subpoenaed to testify in an impeachment trial before the Senate,” a board member asked.

“Correct, and the reason I wouldn’t is because it’s all designed to deal with Trump doing what he’s done his whole life, trying to take the focus off him,” Biden said, calling any suggestions that he do so “a diversion” from Trump.

Obama’s Former Doctor Says Biden Is ‘Not a Healthy Guy’

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of President Obama’s former doctors reportedly disputed a letter released by former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign in which the former vice president’s own doctor praised the 77-year-old presidential candidate as a “healthy, vigorous” man.

“He’s not a healthy guy,” said Dr. David Scheiner, who previously served as Obama’s physician. According to the Washington Examiner, Scheiner read Biden’s medical history and said the presidential candidate “has a lot of issues.”

“He’s not in bad shape for his age, but I wouldn’t say he’s in outstanding health. Could I guarantee he won’t have issues for the next four years? He has a lot of issues that are just sort of sitting there,” Scheiner said.

Scheiner previously told the Examiner that Biden “looked frail” during the first Democratic primary debate. “I sort of got the feeling he wasn’t very strong. It was similar to the feeling I got when Republicans started attacking Mueller so fiercely,” he said.

Questions about Biden’s health and age have repeatedly come up since even before the former vice president declared his candidacy in April. In September, Biden committed to publicly releasing his medical records before the Iowa caucuses, to try and put to rest concerns over whether he was fit enough to take on President Trump in a general election campaign — and whether he would be up to the rigors and stress of serving as president.
