If we pass a Green New Deal and other hare-brained ideas maybe he'll be right.

[samtheman]

Where’s snopes?

[tgdunbar]

He probably read that half of the population have an income that is below average.

[Atticus]

Clueless Joe is at it again

[crusty old prospector]

What a nut.

“... Rev. William J. Barber II of the Poor People’s Campaign...”

This ol’ boy sure as hell isn’t “poor”...He must weigh 350 lbs....Eats DAMN good!!!!!!!!!

[EEGator]

Define poverty. I think some people in Sudan and Mumbai might disagree...

[A_Former_Democrat]

The big lies are never ending now because They know gullible people buy into it

because the mainstream media will not even challenge it

What sick bastards all these people are

[Jess Kitting]

Wishful thinking on his part. That’s what he wants to happen to the country.

[Red Badger]

Half the people are below average...........😯

[CMailBag]

Probably the “worst economy in 50 years” will be coming along soon.

Joe Biden: "Almost half of American's live in poverty"
Joe Biden supporters: "Gosh, it sounds really crowded there."

According to U.S. Census Bureau data from 2017, the latest release, the median household income is $61,372.

Don't look now, Joe, but your pants are on fire!

[eyeamok]

Every time he speaks I am reminded of some of my old customers that came down with dimentia or alzheimers.

[Bullish]

Compared to filthy rich politicians like him they do. I’d love to see 10 years worth of Biden’s tax records.

[JBW1949]

I take that 350 lbs back...

Looked at pictures....I change it to 450 lbs....

[A_perfect_lady]

counting every individual and family whose income was below 200 percent of the poverty line.

Say.... what? I don't understand that sentence. Does he mean you have to have twice as much as the poverty level in order to not be in poverty? Because that seems excessive.

Not having an iPhone X

[ssfromla]

Joe has had since the 70's to do something about poverty.

Just another lie to tell his admirers' itching ears.

[samtheman]

Well, there’s one story on FR today that reports that Clueless Joe listens to Morning Joe every day.

Literally the Blind leading the Blind.
