But that’s not all: in his speech yesterday in Atlanta, he not only launched absurd smears against Republicans, he portrayed himself as an activist who was arrested multiple times in his younger years:

“Fraud is his most foundational character strength.”
Yep. The primary difference between Biden and Harry Reid is that Harry was considerably smarter.

He’s not a chameleon, he’s a psychopathic liar. Fricking Hinderaker soft pedaling the truth.
