Biden insults voters despite White House claims
A day after White House press secretary Karine Jean–Pierre made a gaslighting claim touting President Joe Biden’s distinguished record as a unifying force for the nation, Biden promptly proceeded to disprove her by disparaging Iowa voters.Jean–Pierre insisted during a Wednesday press conference that Biden had never insulted voters, despite multiple incidents in which Biden has viciously waged partisan attacks against Trump supporters.
...
“One thing that the president does not do is insult voters or American people,” said the press secretary.
Her comment comes as multiple Democrats have come under fire for attacking voters who support former President Donald Trump.
Vice President Kamala Harris, for example, agreed on Wednesday with The View co-hosts’ characterization of rural Trump supporters as “the crazies.”
Biden has made many disparaging remarks about voters, despite Jean-Pierre’s claim to the contrary.
On Thursday, he diminished the significance of rural Iowa voters following Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s historic victory in Monday’s caucus, claiming, “I don’t think Iowa means anything.”
In December 2019, he ripped a voter who had been critical of him as a “damn liar.”
The voter had approached Biden at a campaign event in Iowa and raised concerns about Biden’s age.
“I’m not a Republican,” the man said. “I’ve got two problems with you. One is you’re damn near as old as I am. You’re too old. I’m 83, and I know damn well I don’t have the mental faculties I did … But on the other hand, you sent your son over [to Ukraine] to get a job and work for a gas company where he had no experience… in order to get access for the president.”
Biden responded: “You’re a d**n liar, man. That’s not true and no one has ever said that.”
...
He makes Trump sound like a diplomat. He has never been a bright guy, but he is sounding crotchety in his old age.
