Biden Claims People Refer to Him as a 'Foreign Policy Expert'

During a virtual town hall event on unemployment and issues facing working families, Joe Biden claimed that people refer to him as a “foreign policy expert.”

The comment came after the former vice president gave a long-winded response to a woman who had just lost her job and asked how laid off union workers can keep the healthcare coverage they had.

“As you and I have talked about this, senator, I’m always talked about as being a foreign policy expert, healthcare is more complicated than foreign policy,” he told Nevada state Sen. Yvanna Cancela, who moderated the event. “Healthcare is complicated. It really is daunting for an awful lot of people.”

Not only is his brain gone but his hearing declining as well. Joe, they said “Foreign Piracy Expert.”

Biden was been a Senator most of his life prior to becoming Obama’s VP selection. Biden spent a lot of time on the foreign affairs committee where he was most often wrong about everything.

Obama was deemed to be weak on foreign affairs when he ran for President. Biden was promoted by the media as an “expert” who would help Obama as a candidate. Biden was also considered a “safe pick” that would settle the DNCe (yes, they have theirs also).

The media created the persona of “foreign policy expert” and they ran with it for 8 years despite Biden (and the Obama administration) continuing to be wrong about everything. On top of that, Biden turned his “expertise” into big money for his family during his tenure.

Biden is correct in this statement - democrats and the media (one and the same) have touted him as a foreign policy expert for a very long time. Despite being wrong about most things in his supposed field of expertise, that is what they call him.

This is a plus for Trump in my opinion because most people now see Trump as very strong on foreign policy (China, trade deals, North Korea, NATO, the UN, India, Mexico, Canada, etc etc).

Biden’s self-proclaimed strength is an area where Trump beats him straight up..... add in Trump’s masterful economic performance compared to the Obama years and Biden offers nothing to most American voters. Trump has also cut into the traditional democratic base - unions and minorities.

The only thing Biden really has going for him is “orange man bad.”

Well he is an expert of shaking down the foreign governments he worked with. IMHO that makes him a crook. Only the soulless Democratic party could put forward such a senile conman.

When it gets to the punch line he’ll revert to going out behind the gym. And then “What the heck am I doing out here?”

You mean, like when he and Obama sold M-16s to Mexican drug lords or when he and Obama sent an airplane load of $100 dollar bills to Obama’s Ayatollahs.

LOL! Funny thing. When my dad got transferred to NM from the UK in ‘63, some of my English friends asked about six shooters and injuns and horseback. Sadly, the libs have totally taken control of NM. Sad. Then again, they’ve turned NV blue as well. I was hoping we’d be safe here but apparently discounted the LV vote to much. Oh well.

Well, he did commute to DC every day so since he lived outside the bubble, I guess he thinks he qualifies as a foreign policy expert.

Mr. Biden, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Or maybe when he and Obama traded 4 Taliban generals for 1 Sgt. who had deserted his post?

If you want foreign policy to be based on quid pro quo, then Biden is your man.
Quid Pro Joe (1:08 min.)

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

This goes back to Obama. It’s why he chose Biden....because Obama himself knew sh** about Foreign Policy or anything for that matter unless it involved freebees.
