Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
All you #MeToo warriors must feel like complete dopes this morning. – This was as predictable as it is repugnant: The parade of leftist women who have spent the last year and a half screaming that all women who make accusations of sexual harassment and assault must – must, they say – be believed out of hand are now coming out of the woodwork to say, “Hey, we didn’t mean THOSE women!” Meaning, of course, any woman who dares to make the #MeToo claim about the frontrunner for the Democrat 2020 presidential nomination, Crazy Uncle Joe Biden.
Mika WhatshernamethatIcanneverspellright had her personal coming out as an anti-#MeToo activist on Monday’s “Morning Joe,” saying this about the ex-Vice President:
“There’s a lot of things I know about Joe Biden. I’ve known him for a long time,” Brzezinski stated. “He is extremely affectionate, extremely flirtatious in a completely safe way. I am sure that somebody can misconstrue something he’s done, but as much as I can know what’s in anyone’s heart, I don’t think that there’s a bad intent on his part at all.”
Don’t you just love that phrase, “extremely flirtatious in a completely safe way”? Do you think Morning Mika would have ever in a million years given two seconds’ thought about applying it to any politician with an “R” next to his name? Please.
Never to be outdone in the realm of sucking up to Democrats on national television, never-funny failed comic Whoopi Goldberg used her seat on “The View” to go even further than Morning Mika, saying “I don’t want Joe to stop doing that,” meaning Biden’s habit of placing his hands on women’s shoulders, sniffing their hair and whispering sweet nothings into their ears.
Goldberg went further, attacking Biden’s first accuser, Nevada #MeToo warrior Lucy Flores:
“Joe is a hands-on kind of guy. I’ve never heard anyone—she says she felt violated. I have to take her at her word. But it would have been nice if she turned to him and say, ‘You know what, I don’t really like this. Please don’t do this, Mr. Vice President. I’m not comfortable with this.’ Something, because he’s standing right there.”
Why, it’s just Uncle Joe, Lucy! He’s just an innocent, “hands-on kind of guy” and you need to either tolerate that or chastise the Vice President of the United States (Biden assaulted Flores in 2014) right there to his face! Don’t worry about those Secret Service guys with bulging jackets hiding their .44 magnums – you just get up in the Veep’s face!”
Try to imagine how Whoopi and all the other shrieking SJWs would have reacted had a male host of any television program said that about any #MeToo accuser. That guy would have been out of job in about 30 seconds, yanked off the set by ABC’s management before the show ended.
But it’s Whoopi, attacking a powerless woman who is pointing a finger at a prominent Democrat, so that’s ok.
As Former Democratic Aide Amy Lappos came forward with her own accusations about Biden’s “extremely flirtatious in a very safe way” habit of assaulting women at public events, other prominent Dems were rushing to the Party Patriarch’s defense. Despicable Illinois Senator Dick Durbin said Biden’s actions were “not disqualifying,” while ex-Senator from the same state Carol Mosely Braun called Biden “a man who spent his life being nice to people,” something that no #MeToo activist anywhere has ever said was a valid excuse for Biden’s type of unwanted advances.
Lappos accuses Biden thusly:
“He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me,” she told the Hartford Courant, recounting their meeting at a 2009 fundraiser. “When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.”
Oh, hey, Amy, that’s just sweet, non-threatening ol’ Joe being nice to people. What, you don’t like Eskimo kisses? Are you a racist or something?
Other Biden defenders attacked Flores directly. Rick Wilson attacked her for actually being prepared for the interview in which she made her accusation, saying “As somebody who’s done a hell of a lot of media training I can tell when somebody’s been [prepped] for an interview to within an inch of their life.” Uh, ok.
Randi Weingarten, President of a major teachers union, tweeted “I just hope it’s not true that Flores was prompted to write her essay because of her work with Bernie campaign.” See, you just can’t believe those women; you know, women who worked for Bernie. Wink, wink.
See how this works?
Flores responded to Weingarten’s absurd taunt by noting she hasn’t endorse Sanders or anyone else in the race, and then pointed out that, given the immense wealth of evidence of Biden’s poor behavior towards women that exists in the public domain, “this should have been addressed long ago.”
Bingo.
So, why hasn’t that reckoning happened until now? Lappos answered that one quite succinctly: “I never filed a complaint, to be honest, because he was the vice president. I was a nobody.”
Bingo again.
See, sexual assault is all about power, and Biden, first as a prominent Democrat Senator who was always “nice to people” in Mosely-Braun’s words, and then as Barack Hussein Obama’s Vice President, always had the power.
This is exactly, precisely the very situation that the #MeToo movement and those who, like Mika and Whoopi have pretended to speak for it, was supposed to address. But when push comes to shove, and the guy being accused happens to be the Democrat frontrunner, well, don’t bother these people with silly things like principles and intellectual honesty, and least of all, believing the women.
Not those women.
That is all.

The “nuts and sluts” defense makes a comeback!
“He is extremely affectionate, extremely flirtatious in a completely safe way.”
Pure gold.
I love to go to their sites and post “we believe survivors” and watch as hilarity ensues.
I love it when hilarity ensues.
No one should take the Left seriously on anything. They should be laughed at whenever they open their mouths.
Didnt she say this about Justice Kavanaugh, cmon she must of
Let them squirm. Make them squirm.
This so much fun watching the libs twist and turn on this one. I do believe that Creepy Joe actually is harmless, but no R would ever be left off the hook if he were behaving in the same fashion.
What about the children Groping Joe put his hands all over?
Only Believe Certain Women
“while ex-Senator from the same state Carol Mosely Braun...”
Who dug her up?

"That" being smelling hair and kissing.
They are master of the double standard.
“No one should take the Left seriously on anything.“
I disagree. They hate you and want you dead.
See my tag line.

Try using that “I’m extremely affectionate and flirtatious”
line at a job and see where it gets you.
Fair enough. I modify my statement — I see the Left as a serious threat, but none of their rhetoric should be taken seriously. Any argument they make should be laughed at. And their policies should always be opposed as a serious threat to life and liberty.

My ‘favorite’ video showing Creepy Joe in action:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvK-ze8_0CU
He puts his hand on the little girl and moves it on to her chest.
They Sessions swats his hand away since everyone knows Creepy’s reputation.
“CNN”
They can’t find a shred of evidence of Democrat corruption in 20 years but they can find Carol Mosley Frigging Braun inside of 24 hours.
Amazing.
