The “Fredo Defense”.
There really needs to be a serious analysis of the 1987 incident in which Biden made 4 specific claims (about academic standings, awards, and scholarships) which were simply not true. Not close to true, clearly false. He did this in the aftermath of a NH appearance before a group of teachers, presumably Democrat friendlies. On the was=y out hs was challenged by someone in the crowd about his stance on a policy issue and the essence of Biden’s response was “I am smarter than you. I am better than you. Therefore I win the argument.” It was the quintessence of arrogance. Viewed on the basis that the claimed factual premises were false - and they were falsehoods in verifiable areas (i.e., reports could check these claims), you have t question Biden’s mental health. Likewise the Kinnock speech - how could he have kept reading a speech that talked about highly personal experiences that were true of Kinnock, but never applied to Biden’s history? What kind of mental illness allows him to read that speech? I understand he would blame it on his speechwriters or suggest that someone loaded the teleprompter incorrectly, but he still read it. The man has serious problems, and this should be examined now for the benefit iof the Democratic Party, or later, the Rebpublicans.
