Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden go on the attack against Trump
Democrats target the president's character ahead of the midterm elections; the 'Outnumbered' panel debates the strategy.
Watch out Trump supporters! Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden is on the trail and has downgraded you from “deplorables” to the “dregs of society.” It’s the September before an election, and like well-oiled machines, Democratic leadership crawls out of their basement, ready to instill fear, division and loathing into the American electorate. And they hate you even more than they did before.
One would think they would have learned that denigrating the American people is passe, but it’s all they have, and yet they still have to have you rubes, rednecks and deplorables for your vote. But their biggest insult is to their own base whom they believe are so unhinged and lacking of a moral compass, that casting their neighbors as something less than human will inspire them.
People keep insisting that the Democrats and media hate President Trump. Actually, they don’t. The political and media establishment have known him and liked him for decades. It’s you they loathe, and now Trump is our stand-in, taking the heat, lies and insults. Until the Democratic cup of hate overfloweth.
Let’s take Uncle Joe, shall we? A man who’s marketed as a happy-go-lucky nice guy; the man you can trust, because he’s … nice. For Barack Obama, Biden was the perfect choice for vice president as he would do as he was told. And he had as much contempt for the American people as Obama and Hillary Clinton did. He fit right in.
It was at the annual Human Rights Foundation dinner where Biden decided to appeal to the attendees’ worst selves.
“Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden assailed President Trump’s supporters during a speech Saturday at the annual Human Rights Campaign dinner in Washington, lamenting that ‘virulent people’ and the ‘dregs of society’ still had a friend in the White House,” The Washington Times reported.
