Ronald Reagan once called Joe Biden a “smooth but pure demagogue.” Biden is not so smooth anymore, but he certainly remains a demagogue. Biden’s preference for demagoguery to debate defines his career. For all his talk of civility and unity, he would much rather call his opponents names than address their arguments. Biden’s description of Georgia’s new election law as “Jim Crow on steroids” is typical of his demagoguery. It’s a comment as incendiary and heedless as his 2012 assertion that the policies of Mitt Romney were going to put blacks “back in chains.”
By equating a manifestly nonracist election law with segregation, Biden renders all of his comments on racism unserious. He is looking not to heal but to inflame, not to eliminate the problem of racism but to trivialize it. His willingness to throw around charges of racism so wildly, describing anyone who doesn’t share his left-wing politics as racist, is a sign of moral insincerity and intellectual laziness.

Nothing fits the definition of a demogogue more than Joe Biden.
“By equating a manifestly nonracist election law with segregation, Biden renders all of his comments on racism unserious.”
In terms of Biden being a clown, this actually fairly tame. Calling the Georgia law “Jim Crow” is insane but typical Democrat crap. Calling it “Jim Eagle” is indicative of dementia in a person who was stupid to begin with and who is having his speeches written by idiots.
Far more dangerous than Trump’s tweets.
Democrats - They can’t help themselves.
All these things attributed to Biden are misattributed, Joe Biden doesn’t doesn’t have the sense to wipe his own butt.
.
At least he didn’t call it “John Potato.” At least he realized a crow is a bird like an eagle is.
“No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while Biden is in the WH.” (paraphrasing Gideon Tucker back in 1866.)

Biden sucked up bigtime, virtue-signalling his distaste for GA’s new voting law; claimed it was "worse than Jim Crow,"
“un-American,” “sick,” and “despicable.” Biden then sucked-up to China’s communist dictator, calling Xi “a smart, smart guy.”
China's intent of spread its Communist message. Exploiting racial tensions in enemy countries is a key strategy.>
Beijing has a lot of help.
"Xi, old buddy, ol' pal, together we will make China great, again."

No wonder He and Obama were a team.
All the more galling when one considers that this crumbling wreck of a man belongs to the political party that gave us chains and Jim Crow to begin with.
