Biden Compares Trump’s Election to High-Profile Assassinations of Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy; Dems Go After Biden 2020

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Former Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday compared the cultural ripple effect of President Donald Trump’s election to the assassinations of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Sen. Robert Kennedy (D-N.Y.) in the 1960s.

Speaking with MSNBC host Al Sharpton during the South Carolina Democratic Convention about criminal justice reform, Biden claimed that Trump’s election ignited a cultural awakening that will shift the tides of public policy just like the assassinations of King and Kennedy drove change a half-century ago.

“I think what’s happening now is, I think that Donald Trump may have reawakened sensibilities in this country to say ‘Whoa, maybe we can do this now,’ just like our generation was awakened when Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated,” Biden said. “Our whole generation said, ‘I’m back in, man.’ . . .

Although Biden remains the clear frontrunner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, his gaffe-prone nature has already reared its head early into his campaign. (Read more from “Biden Compares Trump’s Election to High-Profile Assassinations of Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy” HERE)

Democrats Call Biden ‘Unchanging’ and a ‘Disaster Waiting to Happen’

By The New York Post. Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, one of just two Democratic candidates who skipped the South Carolina Democratic convention, lambasted Biden as “unchanging, unapologetic, unaware” for Biden’s recent comments praising his own work with segregationist Senate Democrats in the 1970s.

Gravel tweeted that the former vice president “is a disaster waiting to happen. If you are serious about beating Trump, you need to be serious about beating Joe and giving us a serious progressive for the White House.”

Meanwhile, in Columbia, SC, candidates tried to steer the conversation around the front-runner.

California Sen. Kamala Harris entered the convention with a drum line playing as she rode down an elevator. She attacked Trump for everything from his tax and trade policies to an alleged lack of civil rights protections for marginalized Americans. She said Trump’s economic proposals help the rich and hurt farmers. (Read more from “Democrats Call Biden ‘Unchanging’ and a ‘Disaster Waiting to Happen'” HERE)

2020 Dems at War: Here’s Why Joe Biden Wants Cory Booker to Apologize

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden told reporters on Wednesday that he was not going to apologize for invoking his ability decades ago to work with two segregationist southern senators to “get things done.”

A Fox News camera was rolling when Biden was asked if he was going to apologize for his remarks. The 2020 Democrat hopeful answered, “Apologize for what?”

Biden faced scorching criticism Wednesday from his primary rivals including two of the three black candidates running for the White House — Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California – who raised serious concerns after Biden highlighted his ability to work with the segregationist senators. . .

“Cory should apologize,” Biden said in response on Wednesday. “He knows better. Not a racist bone in my body. I’ve been involved in civil rights my whole career. Period. Period. Period.” . . .

[Booker] added, “I know that I was raised to speak truth to power and that I will never apologize for doing that. Vice President Biden shouldn’t need this lesson and at a time when we have from the highest office in the land divisiveness, racial hatred and bigotry being spewed he should have the sensitivity to know that this is a time I need to be an ally, I need to be a healer, I need not engage in usage of words that will harm folks. And so, this is deeply disappointing.” (Read more from “2020 Dems at War: Here’s Why Joe Biden Wants Cory Booker to Apologize” HERE)

What a Moron: Joe Biden Is Getting His Gun Control Agenda from James Bond

/0 Comments/in , /by

During a fundraiser on Monday evening, former Vice President Joe Biden reference James Bond and the use of “smart guns” as a means of achieving gun control in the United States.

“If I get elected president of the United States of America with your help, if that happens, guns, we have the capacity now in a James Bond-style to make sure no one can pull a trigger unless their DNA and fingerprint is on it,” Biden said, according to the Washington Examiner. “We have that capacity to do it now. You know it.”

“But what happens? The gun manufacturers, when two folks started to sell some of those guns to two dealerships, they said, ‘We’re going to shut you down.’ My god, we don’t have to worry about the 2nd Amendment,” Biden explained. “Imagine all the people who would be alive today if the only person who could buy a gun is qualified because of background checks and they’re the only ones that can pull the trigger? So my point is there are so many things we have the capacity to do.”

It’s hard to take a presidential candidate seriously when they’re talking about implementing gun control policies simply because a fictional character has that kind of technology. While it’s great for fictional characters and movies, smart guns are absolutely not the answer to achieving “common sense” gun laws in America.

Smart guns require a person’s fingerprint to be programed into the firearm in order for the trigger to be pulled and the gun to fire. That sounds great on paper but there are practicality issues. (Read more from “What a Moron: Joe Biden Is Getting His Gun Control Agenda from James Bond” HERE)

Biden Suggests Using Violence to Deal with Republicans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to suggest using violence against Republicans on Monday in response to a question about how he as president would deal with opposition to his agenda in the Senate from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. . .

“Joy, I know you’re one of the ones who thinks it’s naive to think we have to work together,” Biden responded. “The fact of the matter is if we can’t get a consensus, nothing happens except the abuse of power by the executive.”

“There are certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight,” Biden continued, later adding: “Let’s start a real physical revolution if you’re talking about it.”

2020 Democrats Look to Cut into Biden’s Lead with Black Voters

By The Hill. Democrats seeking to cut into former Vice President Joe Biden’s lead with black voters addressed the Poor People’s Campaign in Washington on Monday, each making the case that they’re best equipped to address racial economic inequality in the U.S.

Biden and eight other Democratic presidential candidates spoke at Trinity Washington University, a predominantly black school on the northeast side of the city, where they detailed how they’d address the “systemic racism” they said had led to unfair economic outcomes for racial minorities.

Over the past few days, the Democratic contenders have proposed a raft of new policy ideas, from expunging criminal records for marijuana arrests to setting up multibillion-dollar funds to support minority-run businesses.

The proposals are aimed at winning over black voters, a key Democratic constituency that will play a major role in determining the party’s nominee, particularly in the early-voting state of South Carolina. (Read more from “2020 Democrats Look to Cut into Biden’s Lead with Black Voters” HERE)

In 2006 Joe Biden Bragged About Delaware Being a Slave State, Joked About Fighting for the Confederacy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden is currently on his third campaign to win the Democratic presidential nomination. His first campaign in 1988 was derailed because he plagiarized a speech and his second in 2008 was cut short because, as he described it, he lost against the “first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy” named Barack Obama. However, in 2006 in the run-up to the 2008 South Carolina primaries, the then-Delaware senator used the First State’s former status as a slave state as a reason for why he could gain support in the south during the Democratic primary. Biden did this on at least two occasions; once in a more joking manner during a speech at the Columbia Rotary Club and once in a more serious tone with Fox News’ Chris Wallace.

As reported by CBS News, then-Senator Joe Biden jokingly told the influential South Carolina group that Delaware would have fought for the confederacy in the Civil War, but could not due to geography.

“Biden was on a roll,” the reporter said. “Delaware, he noted, was a ‘slave state that fought beside the North. That’s only because we couldn’t figure out how to get to the South. There were a couple of states in the way.'” (emphasis added)

In the same speech, he also made a sympathetic reference to a Columbia Rotary Club member’s announcement “that the club would hold its annual Christmas party at the state Department of Archives and History where members could view the original copy of the state’s Articles of Secession.” (Read more from “In 2006 Joe Biden Bragged About Delaware Being a Slave State, Joked About Fighting for the Confederacy” HERE)

Biden Hits Trump for Election Interference Remarks. Trump Levels Biden with Video.

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign fired back at Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Thursday after Biden called out the president for remarks he made during an ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos.

During the interview, Stephanopoulos, who is a former Clinton administration official, asked Trump what he would do if he was presented with information from a foreign government on a political opponent.

Trump answered the question by saying that he would be willing to listen to what the information was because “there’s nothing wrong with listening,” and later said, “If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI.”

Biden responded in a tweet, writing: “President Trump is once again welcoming foreign interference in our elections. This isn’t about politics. It is a threat to our national security. An American President should not seek their aid and abet those who seek to undermine democracy.”

The Trump campaign responded to Biden’s swipe in a tweet of their own that featured a CNN video from this February when Biden visited Munich, Germany.

‘The View’ Host Fantasizes About Trump Dying

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Wednesday on ABC’s “The View,” the panel discussed rumors about 2020 presidential hopeful, former Vice President Joe Biden’s health.

Co-host Meghan McCain said, “There’s a lot of things I really hate about primary politics, but one of them is health conspiracies. I hate it, it happened with my father, it happened with Michele Bachmann.”

She continued, “It happened obviously to Hillary Clinton, it’s now happening to Joe Biden, I think it’s the lowest common denominator, dirtiest form of politics. I think I’m both sides we should stop it, I think it’s disgusting. It’s actually hurtful, can be very harmful to families in that position.”

She added, “The implication that he’s slow or whatever, that’s dog-whistles about his health, and I think here and now we have to put an end to that because I really think it’s really bad for the country, and I think it’s just the lowest form of garbage.”

Co-host Joy Behar said, “Especially since he’s one cheeseburger away from keeling over himself.” (Read more from “‘The View’ Host Fantasizes About Trump Dying” HERE)

Joy Behar: Curing Cancer ‘Much More Difficult’ Without Fixing Climate Change

By Fox News. Add cancer to the long list of things that progressives say are a result of climate change.

During Wednesday’s “The View,” co-host Joy Behar warned that without attempts to halt climate change and pollution, it would be very difficult to cure cancer.

“I would say that curing cancer is going to be much more difficult when there’s so much climate change and pollutants in the environment,” she said.

The discussion moved on before Behar could explain the statement. (Read more from “Joy Behar: Curing Cancer ‘Much More Difficult’ Without Fixing Climate Change” HERE)

Joe Biden Promises to ‘Cure Cancer’ If He’s Elected President in 2020

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President and presidential hopeful Joe Biden made a promise on Tuesday to “cure cancer” if he defeats incumbent President Donald Trump in 2020.

“I promise you if I’m elected president, you’re going to see the single most important thing that changes America — we’re gonna cure cancer,” announced Biden during a campaign speech in Ottumwa, Iowa.

On Wednesday’s radio program, Glenn Beck, Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere reacted to Biden’s audacious campaign promise and discussed the Democratic front-runner’s chances against President Trump in a hypothetical general election.

“If he gets elected, Joe Biden said ‘we’re going to cure cancer.’ That’s going to be the big takeaway of his presidency,” Stu said. “We used to do that as a joke. Remember? We would run fake candidates, like Ernie Velveeta and Harold Flamblasky, and they would all promise to cure cancer. Now, Joe Biden is really doing it.” . . .

“Joe Biden is going to cure cancer — he’s already cured it, really. You just have to elect him before he’ll tell you how he’s going to cure it,” he joked. (Read more from “Joe Biden Promises to ‘Cure Cancer’ If He’s Elected President in 2020” HERE)

He Can’t Help Himself: Joe Biden Plagiarizes Disgraced Michael Avenatti

/0 Comments/in , /by

By PJ Media. Joe Biden just can’t seem to help himself when it comes to inappropriately quoting other people. First it was in law school, then it was his first presidential campaign. Most recently, his campaign plagiarized portions of his new climate platform. But, Tuesday during his campaign stop in Iowa, Biden was once again demonstrated his lack of originality.

Former Vice President Joe Biden was applauded Tuesday by Democrats in Iowa when he slammed President Trump with his own twist on the president’s famous campaign slogan.

“He says, ‘let’s make America great again,’” Biden said of Trump in Ottumwa. “Let’s make America America again.”

Turns out, that’s not the first time voters have heard that line: Michael Avenatti, the anti-Trump lawyer who briefly promoted a possible Democratic presidential run of his own this year before being indicted on multiple charges, repeatedly used that same slogan in public remarks as he pushed back against Trump. . .

“I am extremely happy that @JoeBiden has decided to enter the race,” Avenatti tweeted at the time. “He offers Dems the very best chance in 2020, especially in key states. He has the fight, intelligence and fortitude to beat Trump and begin to make America, America again. He has my enthusiastic support.”
