Ballsy Biden: Basing a Campaign On Lies

Joe Biden started his Presidential campaign off strong last week, coming right out of the gate with his attacks on President Trump. The only problem is that most of his attacks are based on old and fully-debunked lies, as are many of his claims.

Why would a former Vice President commit such an egregious attack on the truth? I can see only three possible reasons for him to follow this strategy: he has either been told that “the fix was in” and the media wouldn’t call him on it (but CNN’s Jake Tapper immediately did), he thinks that Americans are just too stupid to remember something that happened less than 2 years ago (and won’t bother to look it up) or an insider is trying to force a massive intentional error from his campaign.

Firstly, to be called out for a lie by a CNN commentator in this day and age, if you’re a Democrat, means that you must have told such a whopper that the pigs are flying and the devil needs a warm coat in his home downstairs.

So let’s start off with that very first lie that even CNN couldn’t allow to proceed: that President Trump called the white supremacists from the Charlottesville Rally “fine people.”

The reality, as was discovered long ago, is that the situation is eerily similar to the “animals” controversy. If you forgot, during a press conference between President Trump and a group of sheriffs, one of the participants asked President Trump specifically about MS-13.

When the President responded by calling them animals, the media deceptively removed the initial question, took the statement out of context and tried to convince people that the President was calling all Mexican immigrants animals – completely leaving out that the comment was in response to a question about MS-13, who I think we can all agree are vile animals.

The Charlottesville hoax controversy is almost exactly the same: in a statement about the protests in Charlottesville, President Trump set the foundation by saying, at the very beginning of his statement, that:

“You have people, and I’m not talking about the Neo-Nazis and the White Nationalists, because they should be condemned totally…”

So what did the media immediately do (and Joe Biden lie about in his VERY FIRST campaign video)? They again deceptively edited the foundational aspect of the statement (“…and I’m not talking about…”) and tried to pass it off, out of context, to make President Trump seem like something he’s not.

Here’s a great short video explaining the “very fine people hoax” in 45 seconds (credit to @cyvault on Twitter).

Biden is also parroting the good old “not even a whisper of scandal in the Obama administration” line, which would be laughable if it weren’t so tragic for our nation.

I guess Biden is taking the Hillary Clinton line of “what does it matter” when thinking back to Benghazi, Solyndra, Fast & Furious, Uranium One, the Bergdahl prisoner swap, giving billions to a nation that screams “death to America,” wiretapping the Associated Press, hacking journalist Sharyl Attkisson, reserving White House administration seats for Muslim Brotherhood, the IRS targeting conservatives, weaponization of intelligence against political opponents, the Hammer program spying on regular Americans and breaking into their financial records and the worst of all of them, Spygate and Russiagate which will make Whitewater look like a jaywalking ticket when all is said and done (and the recently released Stroczk/Page texts confirm the white house was “running” those operations).

Biden is also running on the statement that “Americans aren’t feeling any difference from the Trump tax cuts,” which has been utterly disproven many times. If you don’t understand, getting a tax refund is a bad thing – it means you gave the government an interest-free loan by overpaying on your taxes in the first place. But, that won’t stop a career politician from using a cheap shot to pander for votes.

We’ve seen this before, and it’s fitting that Obama’s VP has chosen to build his entire platform on a web of lies. But the fact that each of them have already been utterly disproven, and that he thinks we’re too stupid to remember…well that’s just disheartening, but it lets us know what career politicians like Biden really think of Americans.
