Joe Biden Had A Very Bad Week
Huffpost ^ | 6/07/19 | Lydia O’Connor

**SNIP**

Biden “has not at this point changed his position on the Hyde Amendment,” his campaign told HuffPost, and contended that “the Hyde Amendment does not prevent organizations in the U.S. that provide lifesaving health care services for women from receiving the federal funding they need.”

Because the provision bans Medicaid, Medicare and other federal health insurance programs from covering the vast majority of abortions, low-income women and women of color are disproportionately affected by it. Democrats and other 2020 candidates quickly slammed Biden for standing by such a policy.

“It’s been the law for a while, and it’s been wrong for a long time,” his opponent Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) ― three others in the Democratic 2020 field ― also spoke out against the Hyde Amendment following his campaign’s comments.

By Thursday, Biden had changed his tune.

“I can’t justify leaving millions of women without the health care they need. ... If I believe health care is a right, as I do, I can no longer support [the amendment],” he said.

He evolved in about an hour and a half. And he's the best they've got.

Joe has become a puppet and is just spouting whatever his handlers want him to say.

Plugs is even phonier than the Vile Kankles—how is that possible? But it is!

Plugs is an epic moron with no self-awareness. He will say and do ANYTHING to get elected. ANYTHING.

Hey Huff Post: You and your brain-dead followers have a "right" to kill a baby; I have a right not to fund it.

Pay for your own damn abortions.

Their thinking and ideas they're attempting to sell the American public will result in the Dimms going down "big time" in 2020.

It all falls under the "reap what you sow" truth.

At the rate his physical appearance is looking, I tend to agree...

I feel for sure he won’t last to Sept. this year...he will drop out due to health issues..he just has that skeletal look to his profile and his head...

He has no pep or energy and his handlers are covering up for him as well as the media also doing cover up...

He is unable to generate even a small crowd...he actually is an embarrassment for a professional politician...AGE MATTERS AND IT SHOWS ON OLD JOE....

The great thing is those $4,000 boots can keep the tingle going!

I remember when bicycle grips were made out of similar material in the 1960’s.

Maybe bowling balls, too.

[“I can’t justify leaving millions of women without the health care they need”]

That’s right Creepy Uncle Joe, killing an unborn baby is “health care”.

Up is Down, Left is Right, Right is Wrong.

Like the rapist before him, I am struck how easy it is for a child molester to run for the democrat nomination.
