President Joe Biden’s graphic description of horrors in Israel was intended to “underscore the utter depravity” of the Hamas attack on civilians, the White House says, even if he hadn’t personally viewed or confirmed the imagery he described.

Speaking from the Indian Treaty Room, Biden on Wednesday told a gathering of Jewish leaders: “I’ve been doing this a long time. I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children.”

Later on that evening, an administration official told CNN neither Biden nor the administration had seen pictures or confirmed reports of children or infants beheaded by Hamas.

Biden’s lie de jour.

Oh, okay. I was wondering what it was intended to “underscore.”

it would be helpful

if whoever is actually in charge

could stand by the podium

and correct the puppet in realtime

[gov_bean_ counter]

Spinning like a centrifuge. Again.

[KittyKares]

He lies like a rug.

[SaxxonWoods]

If you are explaining you have already lost. This White House does a lot of explaining.

Biden is too preoccupied with his own depravity. Perhaps he’s been day dreaming about showering with his young daughter Ashley.

Eff’n pedophile pieces of chit have no moral authority to lead a nation.

[sauropod]

Golda Meir told him to say it.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

A little late in the day for Biden to fret.  After giving Jihadi World 80 billion
dollars in Afghan gear, it's gong to take decades to fix that unforced error, if ever.

It is really sad that Biden can’t even get a simple matter out correctly without controversy

[Right Brother]

Speaking of children, was Beau killed in the attack?

[subterfuge]

Obamalamadingdong’s evil regime was the same way. Always having to explain to us plebes what his comments really meant. It was, in reality, a “reframing” after the blowback Barry frequently faced. Maybe blowback is a bad choice of words .

[coalminersson]

hard to know the story changes every day since he died.

[UnwashedPeasant]

This is stupid and trivial.

Meanwhile, he has taken millions in foreign bribes, was “elected” in a coup, has funded Iran and Hamas and the Taliban, has delivered Afghanistan to China, has caused several wars, has opened the borders to countless terrorists, has instituted a police state, has locked political enemies in a gulag for wrongthink, etc.

Silly, trivial criticisms are a distraction.

[Boogieman]

Biden said it and then got backlash from the radical left, who have been saying “there’s no confirmation of beheaded children besides the Israeli army!!!!” So he changed his tune.

[thegagline]

If there is one thing that Joe Biden knows, it is depravity involving children

[caww]

Bidens in no position to judge the ‘depravity’ of anyone considering his own place among them.

[lepton]

Is it lying if you are delusional?
