Joe Biden spoke at the Congressional Black Caucus’ Annual Legislative Conference Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C. on Saturday night.
Biden came walking out to speak and said “Whoa” as though he was being greeted by great applause but there hadn’t been any. Looks like either the audience wasn’t feeling it and/or Joe got his cue wrong.
Biden then went on to spread a lot of nonsense about the things that he’d supposedly “achieved.”
Biden claimed the Inflation Reduction Act that he got passed was “the most aggressive action to confront our climate crisis ever in all of human history ever.” Translation: We managed to get this boondoggle that’s going to spend a ton and make inflation worse. What the Inflation Act doesn’t do is confront the real inflation crisis– as they originally claimed it would and which now they aren’t talking about. The Act is the “Green New Deal Lite,” with a phony name to make it sound acceptable.
Then he tried to justify his student debt bailout by attacking members of Congress who criticized it and who had families who might have benefited from the Paycheck Protection Program.
But the PPP program was legal, whether you like it or not. It was passed by Congress. Biden’s bailout is an illegal, naked attempt to buy votes with taxpayer money — just something he pulled out of his posterior — and hasn’t been passed by anyone. He doesn’t have the Constitutional right just to transfer taxpayer dollars and put that debt on all the rest of us who don’t owe it. Moreover, the PPP was full of fraud, so maybe it’s not the justification he wants to use. But as we’ve indicated, this may be boomeranging on him because a lot of people are disturbed that he’s done this. That is not making voters happy, as we’ve noted, and may be helping the movement that we’ve seen toward GOP congressional candidates.
Then Biden whined about Republicans picking on him and tried to act tough, “Know I’m being banged up by the Republicans, but uh, come bring it on”
Um, Joe? It’s your delusional comments and bad policies that are doing you in, we’re just pointing out what a mess you are. Few people have managed to so harm America in such a short period. You’re the one attacking millions of Republican voters trying to appear tough, but burning your bridges and costing votes for the Democrats in the process. You’re the one seeing dead people or wandering off as your handlers have to chase your down. You’re the one whose wife is shoving you off the stage. Americans see all this — they’re not blind. And Americans will be “bringing it on” and letting you know exactly what we think of you and the Democrats in November.
