Biden was slammed after joking about running over a journalist who wanted to ask him a thorny question about Israel. While test-driving the Ford F-150 at the carmaker's factory in Michigan, Biden pulled up alongside a group of reporters to show off his driving skills. 'Mr. President, can I ask you a quick question on Israel before you drive away since it's so important?' a reporter asked. 'No you can't. Not unless you get in front of the car as I step on it,' Biden replied. His remarks were blasted on Twitter by political observers who said if his predecessor Donald Trump had said the same thing he would have been vilified. Former Nevada GOP Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian said: 'Joe Biden just threatened to run a reporter over with a car for wanting to ask a question about Israel. If President Trump had done this, he would have been impeached. Jokingly or not, this rhetoric is completely unbecoming of the President.'

'While America's most important Middle East ally is under attack, Joe Biden threatened to run over a reporter for asking a question about it,' National Republican Senatorial Committee campaign worker Jonathan Turcotte said.
'And this is the takeaway from the totally unbiased media. What a joke.'
Biden was at the famous factory Tuesday to test drive Ford's first electric truck during a stop in Michigan on Tuesday to tout his infrastructure plan.
Steve Guest, an advisor to Sen. Ted Cruz, said: ‘This would be a five-alarm fire of a news cycle if Joe Biden was a Republican and said this to a reporter.’
Tom Elliott, founder of Gabrien, mocked journalists who hyped the threat to media during Trump’s presidency, writing: ‘This is a terrifying threat against America’s free press and I trust impeachment proceedings will soon follow. cc @brianstelter @Acosta.’
Biden capped his visit to the Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn with a surprise stop to speed his way around the test track.
Biden mocked Trump for talking about infrastructure week without passing any legislation on the issue. ‘They announced infrastructure week and they announced it and announced it and announced it and announced it. Every week for four years and didn’t do a damn thing,’ he said at the Ford factory in Dearborn, Michigan.
Biden has yet to make any progress either.
Where’s the data that indicates it was to be a thorny question?
Biden was NOT driving, This photo truck had two steering wheels. Another STUNT BY PEDO JOE....I have the video.
LOL. I’m assuming ANY question (unscripted) is a thorny question for that old coot.
For over forty years, Demonicrats have advocated (including in their party platform), supported, funded, and claimed as a right, their butchering of persons in the womb. Now they even advocate butchering a person in the process of or just after being born.
Murdering people, along with treason and destroying the United States, is in the mindset of every Demonicrat.
That is good to know because it said “Biden” drove the car up to 80 MPH. Sounded scary for anyone watching on the sidelines to me....
How many Americans can afford a $70,000 dollar truck (the basic price). Fully equipped with bells & whistles this truck will go for above $100,000!!! Forget it...I will never, ever, buy any Ford product. Ford was nuts to bring the illegal, faux, retard, insane, POTUS, Joe Biden to Michigan to push this useless piece of automotive engineering...that most American consumers could ever afford!!!
Biden is the Joke of the USA and worse, the Joke of the entire world. Fellow Americans, you better get in gear and get rid of this “Bozo” Biden, who is, day by day destroying the American Nation Republic!!! How Dumb must you be? Sad, Days ahead for the once great USA!!! Me, LMAO, I’ve had a great life...with Biden and Democrats in charge,....your lives will not be so happy, nor joyful!!! Go Trumpie!!! We miss ya Trumpster!!!
However, slamming him for this is ridiculous. The event was driving Ford's new electric truck; it wasn't about Israel. And his comeback was really pretty clever.
I'm with Butthead on this; the comment was cool.
and then the battery died...
Yep. It’s amazing how hard the media tried to avoid showing that but for a few seconds of the video you can clearly see the steering wheel on the passenger side.
Biden was channeling the black guy in NC who got killed while trying to run over the po-po. Solidarity forever, baby!
Without the slightest bit of doubt.
Trump would have been charged with assault or something whether it was a joke or not.
Trolling?
Nope, but I'm not so FUBAR'd that I don't appreciate a good sarcastic comment, even when it comes from a total libtard.
There were NO driving skills to display. Photos of this event clearly show that the truck was equipped
with 2 steering wheels, and another, actual driver was sitting next to ex-Vice President Biden.
The unnamed 'copilot' was doing the actual driving.
Ah, so I see you’re not only a troll, but a rude, offensive, self-impressed individual. Being nearly 60, and not into childlike terminology, I had to look up FUBAR’d. Found it an acronym that’s likely used by smart-assed teenagers, or immature adults with like mentalities.
So, I therefore must stand by my assumption you are a troll.
