Biden: ‘We Choose Truth Over Facts’
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | AUGUST 8, 2019 4:25 PM | Jeffrey Cimmino

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden told a crowd of supporters on Tuesday that "we choose truth over facts," apparently referring to the Democratic Party.

"We choose science over fiction; we choose truth over facts," Biden said, drawing applause.

The former vice president has a history of tripping over his words.

Biden continues to hold a formidable lead in national Democratic primary polls. He leads the next two closest opponents, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I, Vt.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), by over 15 percentage points.

Although he avoided another awkward exchange with Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) in the most recent Democratic debates, some in the media criticized his performance, with one MSNBC panel noting he seemed to "forget words." Sen. Cory Booker (D., NJ) went after the former Vice President at the debate, however, calling him out for dodging on whether he advised former President Barack Obama’s against mass deportations.

Biden, for his part, has attacked Booker’s record on policing during his tenure as mayor of Newark, pointing to the use of stop-and-frisk.

Between the creepy pics and Biden’s continuous gaffes, it will be a laugh-fest. Trust me. Even the Democrats at Yahoo are trying to destroy him. They will not turn out for Joe.

A liberal’s truth and a Leftist’s truth bear no relation to facts. The two concepts can coincide and once in a hundred speeches they do, kind of.

You can state facts while obscuring the truth, but you cannot speak the truth without stating facts.

Cows don’t give milk! We have to take it!
Furthermore, I may point out, white milk is racist until you’ve added Nestle’s to it!

All true. And Russia exaggerates their effect on the war.
That said, they took the brunt of Hitler’s invasion, which they surely deserved, while the US geared up for war.

That would go WAY over Joe’s head. The guy is dead from the neck up. It should be apparent to anyone that Biden has done nothing except enrich himself and his family after 40 years in government.

He's spent so many years perfecting the sound bite that he no longer thinks, IMHO.
