Uh Oh: Biden's Top Fundraiser Pulls Support For The Former Vice President

Former Vice President Joe Biden has lost the support of San Francisco-based attorney Tom McInerney, who happens to be one of the campaign's largest fundraisers.

According to CNBC, McInerney told the campaign on June 20th that he would no longer help Biden fundraise. He was the first fundraiser to public pull support for Biden after the former vice president made controversial comments about working with segregationists and suddenly flip-flopping on appealing the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funding for most abortions. He eventually said he was against the law.

"At least there was some civility. We got things done. We didn’t agree on much of anything,” Biden said at the time. “Today, you look at the other side and you’re the enemy.”

That's when McInerney made his decision.

“I had actually let the campaign known I’d pulled back my support of Biden for now,” McInerney said.

Losing McInerney's support could be detrimental for Biden's campaign. During President Barack Obama's first election campaign in 2012, McInerney helped the campaign raise over $200,000 throughout the cycle. Plus, McInerney's public split from the campaign could compel other donors to do the same.

“I would imagine I’m not alone,” McInerney said.

Thew news of losing the San Francisco-based attorney comes as Biden's campaign spends the weekend fundraising in the Bay area. Biden has fundraisers scheduled with former Twitter executive Katie Stanton in Silicon Valley and President Barack Obama’s commissioner general of the USA Pavilion in Italy, Doug Hickey.

As Osama observed, “People follow the strong horse.”

Biden is looking like a tired old nag.

Biden was boxed in - had he told the truth, it would have revealed the unflattering truth about what the Democrat Party is to a nationwide audience. He is under assault and losing ground for working with the Democrat Party leadership while he served in the Senate. The media refers to it as “working with segregationists” to hide the reality it was his fellow Democrats - and those in leadership who held senior positions including powerful committee chairmanships on the committees he served on that he would have had no choice but to work with - but how could Biden say this without revealing that ugly truth about the party that was being highlighted that night? They are hiding that this is what the Democrat Party is - it is the party of slavery, segregation, the KKK, etc.

Biden’s never been a threat to win the white house and never will be.

Maybe the pervert from Delaware can borrow some money from Ukraine.

“...DOWN GOES BIDEN...”

Yes, but what will take his place?? It does not matter really because Trump will win, but the thought is frightening looking at that line up of raving communists.
