MSNBC Blithely Reports Biden Making Sign of the Cross At Mention of Boebert's Name

Wait! Aren't Republicans the ones who inappropriately drag religion into politics?

And surely no Democrat would ever perform a religious ritual as protection against the mention of a Republican's name? And yet . . .

On Thursday, Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, with Alicia Menendez as substitute host, rolled tape of Biden crossing himself after he mentioned the name of Lauren Boebert.

Menendez blithely said, without comment, that Biden "made the sign of the Cross at Boebert's name." Think MSNBC would be so nonchalant if a prominent Republican made the sign of the Cross at the mention of a Democrat's name?

How do you think the liberal media would react if a leading Republican Catholic made the sign of the Cross at the mention of, say, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s name or — heaven forbid — that of Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

He’s a pervert. Probably praying he gets a chance.

He isn’t performing a religious ritual. He is making a mockery of it. The sign of the cross is significant for Catholics, Orthodox, and some other Christians. It is not the stuff of jokes.

Biden hasn’t the slightest idea of what the cross means.

Proving once again that Biden’s “Catholic Faith” is to him a joke and a political facade. The guy is a slimy phony through and through. Of course the godless MSM would approve and find this amusing.

We all know this man is VERY cognitively impaired, but he is/was always an inveterate, arrogant LYING scumbag with some very disturbing tendencies towards little girls, even in public surroundings. He’s a complete lying fake from top to bottom even without his advancing age cognitive impairments.

Along similar lines, from the article:

“As is likely, this was just a cheap political stunt, using religion as a laugh line for the partisan Dem crowd.”

Senile people don’t have the wherewithall to react in this manner.

I think he is faking the bumbling stumbling feeble thing.

See Tagline if you don't already know the answer.

That seems like a bad show of your worst thoughts, but who even watches MSNBC?

Senile people don’t have the wherewithal to react in this manner.

They certainly do. They retain all kinds of complex behavior fragments until quite late in the dementia progression. There are good days and bad days, but they never really get better.

I have seen it in relatives. Plenty of other readers here have had similar observations.

One that works to murder infants for the evil one would not make the sign of the cross before any Christian, so I fact check this as FALSE.

So which is it? Is President Biden afraid of Boebert? Does he perhaps actually see her as the Devil? Or, as is likely, and would be even worse, was this just a cheap political stunt, using religion as a laugh line from the partisan Dem crowd?

And again, how do you think the liberal media would react if a leading Republican Catholic made the sign of the Cross at the mention of, say, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's name or -- heaven forbid -- that of Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib?

Sick use of a sacred symbol for a political cheap shot.

It's Old Joe Biden's decrepit mind going back to the days of ward-heeling in the ethnic streets of Scranton.
