Biden’s ‘Liberals Have Short Memories’ Remark Comes Back To Bite Him

I think grandpa needs a nap. Or better yet, he fell victim to a criticism he lobbed…at his own party. In 2017, while speaking about free speech at the University of Delaware, former Vice President Joe Biden said, “liberals have short memories.” That couldn’t be more accurate with his latest remarks about Russia and our elections, where he incredibly said that interference from the Kremlin wouldn’t have happened under Obama. Uh, Joey, it did. And everyone knows it. Who was president in 2016? (via Free Beacon):

Biden: Russian Interference Wouldn’t Have Happened During the Obama Admin

Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed that Russian election interference would not have happened when he was Vice President during a Friday interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo.

Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to undermine U.S. elections while undermining elections throughout Europe.

"Look at what's happening with Putin. While Putin is trying to undo our elections, he is undoing elections in Europe. Look what's happened in Hungary, look what's happening in Poland, look what's happening," Biden said. "Do you think that would happen on my watch or Barack's watch? You can't answer that, but I promise you it wouldn't have. And it didn't."

The Russian interference in the 2016 election did occur while Obama and Biden were both in office.

Warner Admits Obama Administration 'Choked' on Russian Hacking

The Washington Post had a lengthy piece about how the Obama White House handled the news about the Kremlin interfering in the 2016 elections. Yes, it looked like Obama, shocker, was paralyzed. He dropped the ball. CNN’s Jake Tapper said it appeared the Obama administration was “asleep at the switch” during this whole affair. Other top Democrats, including Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, also agreed that Obama choked on Russian interference. Now, was there a conspiracy between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign to tilt the election through this interference? No. The Mueller Report debunked that. There was no Trump-Russia collusion. It was simply another chapter in the book of geopolitics. And yes, the U.S. has interfered in elections, even supporting coups when we didn’t like the result a la Chile 1973. Also, the extent of the interference was small; most of which amount to a six-figure social media campaign blasting out trash memes. If you think $100,000 can end American institutions, then you need to see a doctor and go on a lengthy dose of tranquilizers. Hopefully, when you wake up, you’ll wake up—and this is directed towards the Russian collusion myth peddlers who continue to embarrass themselves spewing this trash. As for Joe, well, this is a slight blip, though a bit of an embarrassing gaffe. Right now, he’s being cut down by busing of all issues.

Who am I supposed to believe about Russian interference in the 2016 election?

Obama: who said it couldn’t happen?
Biden: who said it didn’t?
Hillary and Mueller: who said it did?

...No, I get it. The script out of D-Land today is that they did.

“...Liberals Have Short Memories’...”

No, they really don’t, Joe.

They hold grudges which they carefully nurture and fan into hate and then action as soon as they obtain any power.

They’re psychopaths waiting for the opportunity to abuse anyone and everyone who disagrees with them.

“Biden’s ‘Liberals Have Short Memories’ Remark Comes Back To Bite Him”

Actually that statement is partially true. A more accurate statement would be something like “Liberals have Selective Memory”.

For example, they seem to have no memory of how they LOVED the Soviet Union, and then Russia, for nearly 100 years (until 2014, when Russia decided to prevent gays from recruiting kids). They also seem to have forgotten how they were dead-set against Globalism...until Trump joined that movement - now they’re all for Globalism (i.e., against tariffs). They’re consider the Access Hollywood tape to be grounds for making Trump an illegitimate candidate for the White House, but they have no problem with what Bill Clinton did with Monica. They’re not bothered a bit about Obama saying you can keep your doctor, but they say that Trump is a liar because he hasn’t built the wall yet (as if Trump didn’t try).

Joe Biden’s legacy is stuck to the sticky-fingers of his son and those “business” deals in the Ukraine and China.

Time to take a deep dive into the cash flow of the Biden family and their associates in the Heinz-Kerry klan.

Once upon a time: Everybody lies about sex!

Now: Everybody uses their office to do crooked international deals for family.

“potatow”

Sounds like a great name for a towing company.

Now we know what Joe can do after the elections. Go into business with Dan Quayle.

Perot was a great American who loved this country. He backed our military all the way. He was right about NAFTA and the nation would be in a better place if he had stayed with and won that election.

RIP, Mr Perot.
