Joe Biden Shamelessly Invokes Beau Biden During Key Bridge Visit
PJ Media ^ | 6 April 2024 | MATT MARGOLIS

Posted on 04/06/2024 11:04:38 AM PDT by Sam77

On Friday, Joe Biden visited the site of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland — the same bridge he claimed he commuted over regularly via rail, even though it has no tracks — and he just couldn't help himself by invoking the death of his son Beau in order to play the empathy card.

"Well, to all the families and loved ones who are grieving: I’ve come here to grieve with you. We all are," he said. "It’s not the same, but I know a little bit about what it’s like to lose a piece of your soul — to get that phone call in the middle of the night to say family members are gone. I’ve been there. It’s feeling like having a black hole in your chest, like you’re being sucked in, unable to breathe. The anger, the pain, the depth of the loss is so profound."

Bribey Joe thinks everything’s always about him.

That made me laugh, and it made me feel kind of guilty to laugh too.

His son Beau was killed in a bridge collapse in Iraq.

He is still dragging Beau’s coffin around to get sympathy

To paraphrase Gunnery Sgt. Hartman: “Joe Biden is nothing more than an unorganized, grabastic piece of amphibian shit”. There I wrote it.

"He mentions Beau a lot. This isn’t normal."

The left has been fostering a cult of victimhood for some time now; it's very useful in avoiding personal responsibility for one's poor decisions and circumstances.

Biden's repeated invocations of his son's name is an offshoot of this. It's simply a cheap political ploy which, when distilled to it's bare essence is supposed to register with people on a subconscious level, prompting them to think, "This poor man has been through enough already, I don't dare vote against him."

Curious that he never mentions his daughter Naomi who died in the 1972 car crash with his then wife. Only Beau.

“Hunter was banging Beau’s widow within months”

Yeah ... months BEFORE Beau died, according to some supposedly in the know.

Biden - "...I know a little bit about what it’s like to lose a piece of your soul..."

He's lamenting the passing of one who could have been a good earner.

He is confusing the Patapsco River leading from the Chesapeake Bay into the Baltimore Harbor with the Susquehanna River 30 miles north of there, which has both a car bridge and a train bridge between Havre de Grace and Perryville, Maryland. The waterways are of similar width (Patapsco is wider at that crossing), but the embankments are very different.

J.Biden is incapable to tell the truth either to his own people or our adversaries. There is something demonic about him.

That the American people even consider FJB as a cabdidate for the presidency only shows how ignorant it is.

This was a bridge too far for Joe.

Yes. Beau was there, selflessly teaching those wonderful “newcomers” how to patch asphalt when BAM! Down he went. On the way down, he developed brain cancer from the burn pits underneath the bridge. It was tragic.

Well, it was a sad day when Beau fell to his death from that bridge.
