Why Joe Biden's confrontation with an auto worker in Detroit is probably a good thing for him
CNN ^ | 10 March 2020 | Chris Cillizza

(Video at source)

On Tuesday, while sneaking in some last-minute campaigning in Detroit on the day of the critical Michigan primary, Joe Biden got into an extended confrontation with an autoworker who took issue with the former vice president's stance on guns.

....

....

The insinuation was obvious. Biden, the front-runner to be the Democratic presidential nominee, had lost it when an autoworker had confronted him about his too-liberal gun policies. (Wolking also shared video on Twitter of some of the autoworkers chanting "Trump!" as Biden toured the facility.) This was a bad moment -- in the mind of the Trump team -- for Biden. I'm not so sure.

The knock on Biden -- certainly among Democrats who support Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and even among many Democrats who back the former vice president -- is that he lacks passion on the campaign trail. That his promises to return things to normal and pledges to work with Republicans aren't the sort of stuff that Democrats want to hear right now. Democrats are deeply angry at the ways in which Trump and his enablers within the GOP have steered the country. In exit polling in California's primary last week, almost 3 in 4 voters (73%) described themselves as "angry" about the Trump administration. In Texas, more than 6 in 10 (62%) said the same. And in Virginia, 58% described themselves as angry at the Trump administration.

(After the exchange was criticized by both Sanders and Trump's campaigns, Biden said Tuesday, "I'm surprised that Sanders is joining Trump. It's surprising.") A video recently circulated by conservative outlets falsely suggested Biden supports widespread confiscation of guns, according to FactCheck.org.

Biden: "You're full of shit. I did not—no, no, shush. Shush. I support the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment -- just like right now if you yelled fire, that's not free speech. And from the very beginning, I have a shotgun, I have a 20-gauge, a 12-gauge. My sons hunt, guess what? You're not allowed to own any weapon, I'm not taking your gun away at all. You need 100 rounds?"

Wow, simply astounding.

I can see the argument coming that since "Assault Weapons aren't covered by the Second Amendment we aren't for against your Second Amendment Rights!".

Which we all know is completely and utterly B.S.

Image result for hell yes we are going to take your ar-15 gif

"Assault Weapons aren't covered by the Second Amendment, therefore we aren't against the Second Amendment!".

Sorry for the typos.

Its a better thing for all of us freedom loving citizens.

This needs to be a Trump commercial all in itself playing non-stop in conservative and purple areas through election day.

Democrats do not believe in the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

It’s that simple.

...falsely suggested Biden supports widespread confiscation.

So Biden saying Puto is going to become his gun control guy was just an illusion? Someone should tell CNN if they are going to lie they need to make it less obvious.

The video is even worse, all they do is discuss "How does this make Joe look?"

A former vice president of the United States telling a hardworking Michigan autoworker he’s “full of sh*t” in regards to the second amendment shows passion Mr. Cillizza? No you moron. It shows the American people the Democrats have utter disregard for one of our most cherished rights as citizens of this country. It was a huge gaffe again for Slow Joe. Even a Clintonoid like Cillizza can’t spin the political mistake this was for Dementia Joe!

MSNBCNN rots the brain.

For your health, turn off the television.

READ a variety of viewpoints. Your pre-frontal cortex will thank you.

Let’s face reality people. If JoJo the Wonder Veep showed up at a rally wearing his underwear on his head, CNN would run a special town hall to explain why this was an absolutely good thing. Everything JoJo does is good, and right, and wonnerful in CNN land.

Yep. “A human moment;” “Charming;” now, “passion.”

Media whores will say and do anything to put a fig leaf on Biden’s disintegrating mental status.
