Biden Explodes When Confronted on Lying About Trump. Video Proves Biden Wrong.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden doubled down Thursday on a lie that he has repeatedly spread despite being called out on it numerous times and despite video evidence that clearly debunks his claim.

While Biden was campaigning at the “Political Soapbox” at the Iowa State Fair, Breitbart’s Joel Pollak confronted him over his repeated false claim that Trump called neo-Nazis and white nationalists “very fine people” in response to Charlottesville.

“Mr. Vice President are you aware that you are misquoting Donald Trump in Charlottesville?” Pollack asked Biden. “He never called neo-Nazis ‘very fine people.'”

“No, he called all those folks who walked out of that — they were neo-Nazis,” Biden said as he became visibly angry. “Shouting hate, their veins bulging.” . . .

“No, he did not. He said, he walked out, and he said — let’s get this straight,” Biden falsely claimed. “He said there were ‘very fine people’ in both groups. They’re chanting antisemitic slogans, carrying flags.”

Watch: Biden Forcefully Grabs Girl After Being Asked How Many Genders There Are

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden forcefully grabbed a young woman’s arm on Thursday after she pressed him about how many genders exist and Biden seemed unable to provide an adequate response.

The incident happened while Biden was campaigning at the “Political Soapbox” at the Iowa State Fair when a girl named Katie, who is a student in the state, approached Biden with questions. . .

In an interview with Turning Point USA, Katie described the incident: “When I asked the question it took a few seconds for the question to register [in Biden’s mind] and then he responded with ‘three.'” . . .

“I started to walk away and then, it doesn’t stop there, he grabs my arm and pulls me back to make eye contact with him again and yells something about marriage at me,” Katie continued. “So I walked away and I was mad, just very, very mad that someone would actually treat me like that.”

Biden has a history of inappropriately touching women and girls, with many of the incidents being caught on video, and has faced multiple allegations from women across the country since the start of the year.

Watch: Joe Biden Claims He Was Vice President in 2018

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said over the weekend that he was Vice President during the Parkland tragedy in 2018, which was over a year after he left the White House at the end of the Obama administration.

“I watched what happened when the kids from Parkland marched up to – and I met with them, and then they went off up on the hill when I was Vice President,” Biden claimed on Saturday.

CNN notes that Biden again repeated the false claim while talking to reporters, saying: “Those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president.” . . .

Biden’s repeated mental errors have started to draw intense criticisms from many, including President Donald Trump, who tweeted: “Joe Biden just said, ‘We believe in facts, not truth.’ Does anybody really believe he is mentally fit to be president? We are ‘playing’ in a very big and complicated world. Joe doesn’t have a clue!”

‘Poor Kids Are Just as Bright and Just as Talented as White Kids’: Biden’s Bad Day at the Fair

/0 Comments/in , /by

The following is an excerpt from Blaze Media’s daily Capitol Hill Brief email newsletter:

Out on the campaign trail, Democrats have descended upon the Iowa State Fair, but front-runner Joe Biden didn’t have the best day on the midway.

He was hounded about using the debunked “very fine people” smear about Charlottesville against President Donald Trump; he was also hounded about whether or not he would call the president a white supremacist. He didn’t; he just eventually settled on saying Trump “encourages” white supremacists.

But it didn’t stop there for the gaffe-prone former VP. He apparently slipped up and told a crowd that “we choose truth over facts.” And to top it all off after a day of campaigning among the rides and food stands, Biden went to a town hall event where he said, “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

How much the last gaffe will hurt Biden — who has been running from his past statements against school busing and remarks on Senate segregationists — among Democrats remains to be seen. It’s safe to say, however, that this was probably not the performance his campaign was hoping for.

Dem Debate: Biden Does Better, but He Really Isn’t Very Good at This

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two days and nearly six hours of live coverage later, we are finally through with July’s round of the Democratic debates. Republicans’ first televised forum of the last cycle came toward the end of the first week of August 2015. As we enter that same month in the current cycle, Democrats have already had four debates. It’s all too early, both debates were too long, and there were far too many candidates involved. That will all finally start to change before the next battle arrives in September, thanks to more stringent qualification thresholds. As for last night, my quick reactions were as follows:

Joe Biden is, and will remain, the frontrunner — at least for the time being, and perhaps for the distance. He was flat-out bad in Miami, but was better prepared last evening, helping him survive quite a lot of incoming fire. He counter-punched here and there, blunting and parrying certain attacks more effectively than he did last time. But I’m just going to say it: To me, he really reads like a genial old man who’s past his prime, and might be on the verge of being well past his prime. He is not sharp. He is not quick. He uses filler words and labors to organize his thoughts and sentences. He stops talking mid-sentence when his time has expired, almost as if he’s relieved that he doesn’t have to keep going. It’s entirely conceivable that he will be considered the safest and most viable choice for the Democrats, will lead wire to wire, and will be nominated. It’s also conceivable that he could be underwhelming as a general election candidate in some significant ways, yet still win.

But once again, despite his relative improvement, Biden’s overall performance — setting ideology completely aside — would not give me confidence about entering a bruising general election slog with him at helm. It’s a feeling I had watching him last month, and I just felt it again. Even the flubs during his closing statement (“eight more years” of Trump, and the text message debacle) invoked images of an aging actor who couldn’t remember his lines, and a grandparent who doesn’t understand texting. It feels a bit mean and unseemly typing those words, frankly, but it’s right in front of us, yes? I’m not alone in seeing these things, right?

Report: Joe Biden Helped Hollywood Gain Access to the Chinese Box Office

/0 Comments/in , /by

The L.A. Times on Thursday documented how Hollywood studios owe former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden a few billion favors because he played a pivotal role in helping them gain access to the lucrative box office in China.

“Several of the candidates vying for the Democratic presidential nomination have significant support in Hollywood — [Jeffrey] Katzenberg, for example, has kicked in $2,800 each to 14 of them already — but none has as long a history of delivering for the industry as Biden,” the L.A. Times observed.

These deliverables for Hollywood were largely made possible by Biden’s eight years as vice president, during which time he was able to put Hollywood heavyweights in the room with top Chinese officials — as was the case with Katzenberg allegedly meeting Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping in 2012 and sealing the deal for the $330 million Oriental DreamWorks studio.

Biden was a tireless advocate for Hollywood issues in general during his vice presidential tenure, prominently including the legislative battle over online piracy, which was also a factor in the entertainment industry’s support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Naturally, everyone involved in the relationship Biden helped to foster between Hollywood and China insisted there was absolutely nothing improper or unwise about any of it. Oriental Dreamworks is now fully owned by Chinese companies and has been renamed “Pearl Studio,” but it still collaborates with DreamWorks and Universal. The most notable product of Oriental Dreamworks during its years of joint ownership was the Kung Fu Panda film franchise.

Fact-Check: Joe Biden Claims Bush Tricked Him into Voting for Iraq War

/0 Comments/in , /by

In Joe Biden’s endless quest to win the Democratic presidential nomination—having failed in 1988 and 2008, he’s hoping that the third time is the charm—Biden is now saying that the only reason he voted in support of the Iraq War back in 2002 was that he trusted then-President George W. Bush. In other words, in Biden’s new telling, it’s Bush’s fault for lying to him.

As Biden said on Saturday:

The mistake I made was trusting President Bush, who gave me his word he was using it for the purpose of getting inspectors in to see what was going on, whether they were producing nuclear weapons.

It was, indeed, a big question back then, whether or not Saddam Hussein would allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Commission into Iraq. Much time was spent going back and forth on what sites and areas the inspectors could, or could not, inspect. And yet everyone knew that the Bush administration wanted to do invade Iraq, not only to eliminate the threat of weapons of mass destruction (there weren’t any, of course), but also as part of its larger neoconservative vision of nation-building Middle East countries into peaceable democracies (the same approach that was then being tried, without much success, in Afghanistan). . .

So again: Biden is portraying himself as not an Iraq hawk at all, but simply as someone too trusting. Such naivety might seem like a strange affect for a man who turned 60 in 2002, having already served in the Senate for five terms, including long stints on the Foreign Relations Committee. Indeed, in 2002, he was the chairman of that august committee. (Read more from “Fact-Check: Joe Biden Claims Bush Tricked Him into Voting for Iraq War” HERE)

Uh-Oh, Joe! Democratic Rivals Catch On To The Fact You And Obama Deported Millions Of Illegal Aliens

/0 Comments/in , /by

Poor Joe Biden. The career politician simply cannot catch a break from progressives on the 2020 Democratic primary presidential campaign trail. The latest thorn in Biden’s side stems from his years serving under his “best friend” President Barack Obama. It is somewhat of an odd fact, but President Trump’s immediate predecessor actually deported more individuals than he has so far at this point in office. Sadly, for Biden however, the progressives are now calling for what is tantamount to open borders. Thus they are turning even on the former Messiah of the Democratic Party due to his enforcement of immigration law and saying that Biden must answer for the actions Obama office took.

As pointed out by the RNC’s Steve Guest, Mayor Bill de Blasio slammed Biden on CNN today saying that he “absolutely” should explain why the United States deported millions of illegal aliens when he was vice president. The answer, of course, for conservatives is pretty simple — they were here illegally. But, Democrats, in their ever desire to inch increasingly more leftist, now believe it racist to deport any illegal alien.

Biden PROMISES to Bring Back Obamacare

/0 Comments/in , /by

As one of the more controversial aspects of Obamacare, the individual mandate was the successful target of Republicans in 2017. The tax bill signed by President Trump nixed it While speaking to CNN on Monday morning former vice president and 2020 Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Biden promised to bring back the individual mandate if elected—not really surprising anyone since his candidacy is tied to President Obama’s legacy,

In the interview, Biden said, “If you provide an option for anybody who in fact wants to buy into Medicare for All, they can buy in. They buy in and they can do it. But if they like their employer-based insurance, which a lot of unions broke their neck to get… they shouldn’t have to give it up. The flip of that is, if you don’t go my way, and you go their way, you have to give up all of that.” He added, “Yes, I’d bring back the individual mandate.”

The sticking point for many regarding the individual mandate is the financial penalty imposed by the government on those who don’t have health insurance. In other words, the federal government takes away your choice. And as much as leftists don’t want to admit it, the individual mandate amounts to a tax on the working poor. . .

Joe Biden has either lived in the land of privilege for too long that he doesn’t comprehend what it’s like for the working poor or he simply doesn’t care about them. America’s hardworking men and women don’t need the federal government making it harder for them to get ahead. They need the federal government to help clear the way so that their hard work enables them to climb the economic ladder. If Joe Biden is elected president, America’s working poor will suffer.

‘The U.S. Has No Obligation’: Biden Fought to Keep Refugees Out

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic presidential front-runner and advocate of large-scale immigration, once tried to block the evacuation of tens of thousands of South Vietnamese refugees who had helped the United States during the Vietnam War.

As a senator, the future vice president, now 76, was adamant that the U.S. had “no obligation, moral or otherwise, to evacuate foreign nationals,” dismissing concerns for their safety as the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong swept south toward Saigon in 1975.

His position was in stark contrast to the one he took nearly 30 years later over Iraqi and Afghan interpreters who had worked with U.S. forces. “We owe these people,” his then top foreign policy adviser Tony Blinken said in 2012. “We have a debt to these people. They put their lives on the line for the United States.” . . .

As South Vietnam collapsed at the end of the Vietnam War in the spring of 1975, President Gerald Ford and the U.S. government undertook to evacuate thousands of South Vietnamese families who had assisted the U.S. throughout the war. The leading voice in the Senate opposing this rescue effort was then-Sen. Joe Biden.

Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese allies were in danger of recriminations from the Communists, but Biden insisted that “the United States has no obligation to evacuate one — or 100,001 — South Vietnamese.” (Read more from “‘The U.S. Has No Obligation’: Biden Fought to Keep Refugees Out” HERE)
