NYT’s Tom Friedman Says Debate Made Him ‘Weep’: Longtime Friend Biden ‘Must Bow Out of the Race
Breitbart ^ | 06/28/2024 | SIMON KENT

Posted on 06/28/2024 6:45:27 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

New York Times columnist Thomas L. “Tom” Friedman, a close friend of President Joe Biden, has had enough. The seemingly tear-stricken writer used an opinion piece Friday to counsel the octogenarian to withdraw from the 2024 race after his “heartbreaking” showing in the debate.

Friedman’s editorial offering got straight to the point. Under the headline Joe Biden Is a Good Man and a Good President. He Must Bow Out of the Race, Friedman highlighted his own personal distress at what unfolded:

I watched the Biden-Trump debate alone in a Lisbon hotel room, and it made me weep. I cannot remember a more heartbreaking moment in American presidential campaign politics in my lifetime — precisely because of what it revealed: Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no business running for re-election.

Friedman then counseled the Biden family to draw close to their man, “and have the hardest of conversations with the president, a conversation of love and clarity and resolve. To give America the greatest shot possible of deterring the Trump threat in November, the president has to come forward and declare that he will not be running for re-election and is releasing all of his delegates for the Democratic National Convention.”

Yes the rats/MSM are all pushing out the BS narrative that this is something new. For 3 years they lied about Biden because they had a puppet with the power of the Presidency.

It’s nice that Jimmy Carter is alive today. Now he knows he’s not the worst president since Millard Fillmore.

If you listen carefully, my friends, you can just make out the sound of Rush Limbaugh keeled over laughing somewhere in eternity...

This guy actually believes the White House. They said there is nothing wrong with Biden. But we could see for two years there is something very very wrong with Joe Biden. Somehow these people could not see what we have been viewing for years. And now they see it? Why now? He mumbled before. He coughed before. He talked gibberish before. He lost his way on stage before. He tried to shake hands with the air before. He fell down many times. And last night they finally see it? Really? Anyone who was shocked by last night should never be listened to again. Because they are idiots. They know nothing. They believe every lie the democrat party spouts. And they are in some fictitious reality based solely on whatever the New York Times and the White House says. If they can’t be trusted to know what is true or not. They should never be trusted period.

Eff these hypocritical scum!

Biden and the Democrats have been claiming all along that he is mentally fit and nothing is wrong.

Slime, like Friedman, have written stories to portray Trump as aging and out of touch.

Now, they want to act shocked and “do the right thing” by asking Biden to step aside?

Not buying it.

Look, why is Biden still the 2024 Democrat nominee for President instead of Any Twosome Newsome?

Who is the architect of the radicalization of the Democrat Party? Barack Obama.

Who’s actually been running things at the White House for the last four years? Barack Obama.

Who’s radical anti-America agenda has the federal gov’t been following for the last four years to take America down? Barack Obama’s.

Unlike Any Twosome Newsome, Biden is Obama’s puppet. I don’t think the Dems want to lose Obama’s running the show at the White House.

Biden cannot be POTUS. It is 25th Amendment time! Welcome President Harris!

Aw, I’m so sorry for your unhappiness Mr. Friedman. Perhaps you should find somebody else to give your undying loyalty to, or just RETIRE with the Demented One.

Yes. A major purpose of the Constitution is to limit the power of the federal government, and the state governments as well.

Progressives hate those limitations. They want to return to unlimited governmental power, such as attained by the Pharoes, Stalin, or Hitler.

They never consider the implications of them not being in power, under a government with unlimited power.

” . . . it made me weep.”

Good. Now you know how the rest of us feel. For the first time in YEARS, I went to bed relaxed and happy about the state of things in this country.

I can never remember - is NY Times considered the voice of the CIA, the FBI, or the State Dept?

Yes.

Tom Friedman not only weeps because a high priest of his false religion of Leftist Government was exposed as a senile fool but he weeps because he now has to walk among a world that knows it.

Even schoolchildren now know that Tom Friedman dedicated his life beliefs to a fallacy that even their dumbest classmate wouldn't have fallen for.
