Biden was open for a left hook!
This was obviously set up ahead of time. It’s designed to symbolize a lowering of tensions, a recognition by the two parties that we are one country. Democrats are the ones trying to split the country down racial and economic lines, so Biden looks weak to his nutcase wing for doing this.
They would have preferred a raised fist and the incantation “Say her name”.
I still say not a good look for VP. Too cozy for me.
If VP were my choice, I would pick another.
