Analysis: Joe Biden Rips the Mask off During NATO Summit


Sister Toldjah reporting for RedState 

We reported earlier on the embarrassing display put on by President Biden on a world stage during a NATO Summit press conference in Spain.

Not only were the usual non-sensical ramblings uttered, but Biden went on a rant about the United States Supreme Court that, quite frankly, proves perhaps more than anything else he’s done since his swearing-in ceremony that he’s a man who is morally unfit for public office.

For those who missed it, here’s the exchange between Biden and the reporter who teed up a question from the left for him on the Friday Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade (bolded emphasis added):

Reporter: “America is Back” was your motto at the first NATO Summit last year. And you’ve come to this summit here and the one in Germany after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned constitutional protections for abortion, after the shootings in Buffalo and Texas, at a time of record inflation, and as new polling this week shows that 85 percent of the U.S. public thinks the country is going in the wrong direction.

How do you explain this to those people who feel the country is going in the wrong direction, including some of the leaders you’ve been meeting with this week, who think that when you put all of this together, it amounts to an America that is going backward?

Biden: They do not think that. You haven’t found one person — one world leader to say America is going backwards. America is better positioned to lead the world than we ever have been. We have the strongest economy in the world. Our inflation rates are lower than other nations in the world. The one thing that has been destabilizing is the outrageous behavior of the Supreme Court of the United States on overruling not only Roe v. Wade, but essentially challenging the right to privacy.

We’ve been a leader in the world in terms of personal rights and privacy rights, and it is a mistake, in my view, for the Supreme Court to do what it did.

[…]

And the Supreme Court — we have to change that decision by codifying Roe v. Wade.

Watch:

Biden made it clear while here in the U.S. that he was upset by the ruling, so much so that he instructed his administration including DOJ Attorney General Merrick Garland to orchestrate an end-run around the decision made by the Supreme Court if at all possible. Biden’s call to action was something HHS Sec Xavier Becerra apparently took to heart when you consider he dangerously teased earlier this week that his department was considering ways to help provide transportation from one state to the other for women seeking abortions, a potential violation of the Hyde amendment.

While a Cabinet Secretary to the President of the United States openly hinting and without any remorse that they are considering breaking federal law should set off all kinds of alarm bells, the supposed leader of the free world trashing our nation’s highest court on foreign soil is beyond the pale and, in my opinion, tells us more about who Joe Biden really is, with none of it being good.

He’s not just the feckless leader beholden to far-left special interest groups we’ve always known him to be, but he’s also a bitterly divisive man who talks who out of both sides of his mouth about “disrespecting our democratic institutions” when politically convenient, painting his opposition as traitors when they supposedly do it but portraying himself as a “defender” of Constitutional rights when he actually does it.

Let us pause for a moment and reflect on all the times Biden accused Republicans including former President Trump of “undermining our democracy” or whatever by merely questioning election results, and then contrast his past statements and their past statements with what he said not just in the immediate aftermath of the SCOTUS ruling but also during the Madrid press event:

Last I checked, the “muh norms and institutions” people were also further embarrassing themselves by enabling a third-hand “witness'” fantastical tale about Trump trying to forcibly take over “the Beast” from Secret Service agents during the Capitol riot. Also, last I checked, Joe Biden had a penchant for trashing his country in order to score cool points with the “woke” crowd, something we learned about him before the 2020 election and something that obviously (and unfortunately) hasn’t changed a bit, no matter how hard he tries to hide it.
