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

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

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)

Biden Wants to Nominate Obama to the Supreme Court

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!’

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)

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’

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.

WATCH: Biden Imitates Stuttering Child at Democrat Debate; Wine Caves, Health Care Clashes and Age Attacks: Biggest Debate Moments

By Daily Wire. Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden imitated a stuttering child during Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate which drew a wide range of responses online.

“My wife and I have call list of somewhere between 20 and 100 people that we call at least every month to tell them, ‘I’m here,’” Biden said. “I give them my private phone number, they keep in touch with me.”

Biden then imitated a “little kid” with a stutter that he says he talks to on the phone.

“I have scores of these young women and men who I keep in contact with,” Biden continued. “And the reason I’d give everyone here a gift is because they want to do something like I do at making their lives better because there’s a lot people who are hurting very, very, very badly.”

Wine Caves, Health Care Clashes and Age Attacks: Biggest Debate Moments

By Politico. . .The long-awaited confrontation between Sen. Elizabeth Warren and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg materialized in the debate’s second hour, when the Massachusetts senator slammed her 37-year-old opponent for holding a pricey campaign fundraiser in a cave at a tony California winery. That cascaded into a stagewide battle, with Sen. Bernie Sanders joining the billionaire-trashing brigade.

The debate also featured a dustup between Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who stood up for the candidates with national experience and pointed out the mayor’s lack of it. And, once again, the candidates sparred over health care and the Sanders-championed “Medicare for All” proposal. . .

Buttigieg argued that he’s “literally” the only candidate onstage who isn’t a millionaire or billionaire and charged that Warren — who raised money at traditional fundraisers for her Senate campaign and transferred much of that cash to her presidential bid when she entered the race — couldn’t pass her own “purity” test. . .

“If you can’t say ‘No’ to a donor, then you have no business running in the first place,” Buttigieg said, highlighting Warren’s Senate fundraising. “Did it corrupt you, Senator? Of course not. So to denounce the same kind of fundraising guidelines that President Obama went by, that [House] Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi goes by, that you yourself went by until not long ago, in order to build the Democratic Party and build a campaign ready for the fight of our lives, these purity tests shrink the stakes of the most important election.” (Read more from “Wine Caves, Health Care Clashes and Age Attacks: Biggest Debate Moments” HERE)

Biden Is Willing to Sacrifice Hundreds of Thousands of Blue-Collar Jobs (VIDEO)

Former Vice President Joe Biden said during Thursday’s Democratic debate that he is willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of blue collar jobs in oil and gas in an effort to help fight climate change.

One of the moderators during Thursday’s debate asked Biden if he would “be willing to sacrifice some of” the growth that “three consecutive American presidents” have seen in the economy. This economic growth has occurred partly due to oil and gas production.

“The answer is yes,” Biden said, even after the moderator noted that the move could displace hundreds of thousands of jobs. “The answer is yes, because the opportunity, the opportunity for those workers to transition to high paying jobs, as Tom [Steyer] said, is real. We’re the only country that’s taken great crises and turned them into enormous opportunities.”

Biden Breaks Down in Tears at Fundraiser Over ‘Ugly’ 2020 Fight With Trump

Joe Biden cried at a Delaware campaign fundraiser and said he is preparing for an “ugly” fight against President Trump in a general election.

“This is going to be really difficult,” Biden said Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware, according to a pool report. “But we’re strong. The whole family is strong. I don’t take well to bullies.”

The former vice president and his son Hunter Biden, 49, are a key element of the impeachment proceedings against Trump due to Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma while Joe Biden spearheaded U.S. policy toward Ukraine. Trump asked the Ukrainian president to investigate the arrangement, prompting House Democrats to pursue impeachment on the basis of abusing power to influence a foreign government to harm a political rival. . .

About a minute into his speech, Biden cried and dabbed his eye, explaining that he was “little emotional” being back in the state that he represented in the Senate for 36 years and among those who stood by him when there was a “target” on him early in his campaign.

“The way the African American community has stuck by me in this state is absolutely amazing,” Biden said, referencing scrutiny over his work with segregationist senators in the 1970s. California Sen. Kamala Harris, who ended her presidential bid earlier this month, criticized Biden in a June presidential primary debate for his opposition to busing.

WATCH: Jill Biden Attempts to Explain How Hunter’s Wrongdoing Is Trump’s Fault

We know that former Vice President Joe Biden was handling international relations on behalf of the Obama administration in Ukraine. At the same time, his son, Hunter, was being paid more than $50,000 a month by Burisma Holdings, a corrupt Ukrainian gas company. And the kicker is he had no natural energy experience. But he did have access to the veep.

Despite all that we know, former Second Lady Dr. Jill Biden is still arguing that Hunter did nothing wrong. In fact, she blames President Donald Trump for wanting to get to the bottom of the Bidens’ corruption. . .

“You must have watched as your husband interacted with that voter in Iowa, very forcefully. There was a question about this. I imagine you and he [Joe] face questions about this from time to time on the campaign trail. What did you make of that response and how do you and he respond to the fact that this question keeps coming up?” the host asked.

Jill instantly turned the question into two parents defending their son against warrantless attacks.

“Well, I think that any parent who is watching this show knows that if anyone attacked their son or daughter, I mean, you don’t just sit down and take it,” she said with a half-hearted laugh. “I mean, you fight for your kid, and I think that shows that, you know, Joe’s going to stand up to bullies and bullies like Donald Trump. And it shows his strength and his tenacity and his resilience.”
