Coronavirus presidential briefings: Joe Biden tries to get into the act
American Thinker ^ | March 21, 2020 | Monica Showalter

That old Walter Mitty thing doesn't stop for Joe Biden.

He was there as vice president at the Parkland shooting. He was shot at in Iraq. He was a coal miner. His chopper was shot down by bin Laden himself over Afghanistan. Always the irrelevant placeholder, dating at least from his Obama years when he had to beg Obama to quit making fun of him, the former vice president and now Democratic frontrunner has now decided to conduct pretend-presidential briefings on the coronavirus crisis to upstage President Trump.

According to Fox News:

The all-but-certain Democratic presidential nominee – in a conference call with political reporters – also said that as early as Monday he hopes to be holding near-daily briefings regarding the pandemic that’s swept across the nation, which could serve as a political counterbalance to the daily briefings the president and government officials have been giving the past week from the White House.

“I want to be in daily or least in significant contact with the American people and communicate what I would be doing, what I think we should be doing, and how we should be doing it,” Biden emphasized.

“Hopefully by Monday we’re going to be in a very different place in terms of the ability to be in communications with all of you,” Biden explained.

That's all fine and dandy for persuading a skeptical electorate that, despite his handsiness, his mental lapses, and his gaffes, that he really is a presidential type.

He will go on tv and tell us all how he was Vice President when the Spanish Flu killed millions and he solved the problem.

Putting PedoJoe up in front of the public without a rehearsed narrative is very dangerous for the communists. He’ll forget what day, what virus and where he’s actually standing....very dangerous for them.

Yes, he is desperate. People see the President and some of the governors dealing with this crisis, and all he can do is criticize.

Every time he opens his mouth up, it is good for Trump and bad for the Democrats...They have tried to shield him, but with his desire to give briefings, he will be exposed for what he is - a confused old man who is suffering signs of dementia.

Biden thinks this is a case where the most popular player on the football team is the backup quarterback.

“...when he had to beg Obama to quit making fun of him...”

And THAT, right there, is Joe Biden in a nutshell...

BEGGING someone more powerful than he is... and THREATENING the ordinary working guy who isn’t.

He’s a nasty POS now, he was a Nasty POS then, and he’ll still be a Nasty POS tomorrow and beyond.

It’s who he is.

Creepy China Joe can explain why his son took money from the Chinese and what they expect Creepy China Joe to do in return?

We all want to know

Well said and worth repeating.

He's doing an excellent job on this crisis and a large majority in the country know it.

Good! I’m sure we won’t see the snarling Dem. press asking Biden nasty “trap questions”, as they do to the President every day. But the contrast will be very damaging to them.

This is what they have done from day one, attempt to diminish and override the Presidents authority, to neutralize him. So why not trot Joe Biden out and let him give daily Presidential briefings. He has no authority, he was not elected by the people, and has no means to enact any of his crazy bull$hit, except to disrupt the country more than it already is.

Biden is not the President. He needs to shut his crooked piehole and go drool in a corner.

This will blow up in his pasty face, ruining the Botox, the tooth caps, the nip/tuck and the plugs.

I would love to see Slow Joe try to go up against Trump's daily briefings. I'll be sure to watch them on YouTube later for some comic relief and I look forward to all the Twitter clips and memes that will derive from them.

I give it three days before his handlers give him the old vaudeville hook.
