Biden Denies Lobbying Foreign Leaders to Back Anti-Israel U.N. Resolution
freebeacon.com ^ | 12/26/16 | Adam Kredo

Vice President Joe Biden is denying accusations that he personally lobbied foreign leaders to vote in favor of a hotly contested anti-Israel resolution at the United Nations last week that has brought U.S.-Israel relations to an all time low, according to sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon about the matter.

Insiders familiar with the matter said Biden spoke by phone with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to ask that his country vote in favor of the resolution, which was passed by the U.N. Security Council last week when the United States, in a reversal of longstanding policy, did not exercise its veto power to kill the measure.

The Obama administration’s decision to allow the resolution to pass drew outrage from a bipartisan range of voices in Congress and the Jewish organizational world.

Can’t be.

He called Benjamin by his nickname during the debate with Ryan.

He wouldn’t stab a friend in the back...

Most anti-Israel measures would pass if they weren’t blocked by the US or a few other countries,

Shoot. He’d deny his hair plugs and all the other male-potency crap he’s undergone, too.

Of course Joe Biden denies that is what he was doing, doesn’t meant he WASN’T doing it.

Joe Biden - one of the foremost practitioners of the ancient art of Islamic taqqiya. It has served him well.....

Have to give Joe some slack. The grinning dunce really can’t remember all he does or even why he does it.

I always think of the Profumo Affair from the UK in the early 1960s.

Government official John Profumo was accused of consorting with prostitutes who were simultaneously consorting with Russian diplomats. Possible security breach, and a major scandal.

At the trial, an attorney said to one of the women (Mandy Rhys-Davies): “Mr. Profumo denies ever meeting you.”
Her reply: “Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he?”

He’s lying, of course.

He’s spent too much time with the Liar-in-Chief.

Heard the Israeli ambassador today. He says he has irrefutable evidence that the US was behind the whole thing, and that they intend to give the file to the incoming president, and they will do what they wish with it.

I am sure Biden and the rest of those flunkies in Obama’s cabinet are behind it. This guy Ben Rhoades said they had warned Israel for sometime that they were opposed to the settlements.

What gets me, is why abstain? Why not vote for the measure? Just another example of this chickenbleep Obama.

A Democrats first impulse...lie, lie then lie some more. Now that they’ve been caught, that genital wart Ben Rhodes goes on TV trying to justify stabbing Israel in the back. Disgusting!

Wasn't it (Ben Rhodes) who laughed at how easily 'they' fooled Americans about just about everything......he even spoke about the Israeli veto, don't believe anything he says, it is meant to throw you off.

To be precise, he plagiarized the Ly’in and Chief. It's what he does.

Do not believe anything until it has been officially denied.
