Never forget what a slime Biden is. The article proves it.
Just a week before Christmas, 1972, the wife of newly-elected Sen. Joe Biden and the couple's baby daughter were killed - and their two sons badly injured - when the Biden family car was broadsided by a truck at an intersection in Delaware.
The truck driver, Curtis Dunn, was never charged in the crash. But, his daughter Pam Hamill says, he too, suffered, reports CBS News correspondent Bob Orr.
"He grieved over that," Hamill said. "He was haunted and was tormented by that for years."
Dunn died in 1999, but since then his family has endured widespread rumors and reports that he had been drinking just before the collision.
At least twice, Biden himself has made public references to alcohol being involved in the crash. In 2007 Biden said the truck driver "allegedly ... drank his lunch." And multiple news outlets, including CBS News, have reported that Dunn was drunk.
I always knew that about him, but thank you for the reminder.
They called Stalin uncle Joe.
Regardless of “proof”, Biden should have been circumspect in throwing around those kind of accusations. If the police suspected that the truck driver was drunk, especially given that he had just killed a Senator’s wife and child, I doubt that the truck driver would have gotten the Chappaquiddick treatment, seeing how the roles and status were completely reversed.
I find Biden’s use of that event both inappropriate and opportunistic.
There must have been insurance claims on both sides. What was the legal disposition of the case? Did Biden’s insurance company pay for damage to the truck, of vice versa? She did cross against a stop sign.
