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.”

If you want to weep for someone, you POS, weep for the hundreds if not thousands of Americans whose lives have been affected / destroyed by criminal illegal aliens who were as well as ushered over our border by Joe Frickin Biden.

The effects of Biden's border failure have years to manifest.

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

This has been obvious for at least two years.

The claim it took the debate for Friedman to acknowledge it shows how delusional and disconnected from reality the Left elite are.

A more cynical explanation is Friedman knows the cat is out of the bag, and the Media cannot hide President Biden's incompetency any longer.

Obama, Clinton and Jimmy Carter should pay Joe a visit and tell him time’s up. He won’t listen to anyone else.

The NYT is the voice of the Democratic party and the Deep State.

If Friedman is really his friend he knew Biden was in no shape to debate. Friedman is only upset that a diminished Biden could not pull off the con.

Friedman is a lying, self-serving apparatchik.

The latter is the truth, imho. People like Friedman succeed via a shell game—once the marks catch onto the con, they fall on guilting the mark’s goodwill or willingness to be lied to.

Who is the Biden of whom they speak? I didn’t watch a debate last night. I watched an episode of Fear the Living Dead Head.

”I watched the Biden-Trump debate alone in a Lisbon hotel room, and it made me weep.”

Yeah, Tom? Well you know what? Biden and the leftist’s intentional destruction of America has been making the sane and patriotic among us weep for years, if not decades. You know who else has been weeping? The families and friends of the women who have been raped and murdered by the illegal alien criminal invaders that the leftists have been actively bringing into the country.

Go suck an egg, Tom.

” . . . has no business running for re-election.”

Hey, Friedman, you worthless POS - Biden didn’t suddenly turn into an addled vegetable on June 27, 2024 - he’s been a national liability since he moved into the White House, and anybody who’s been in touch with him has known that, including you, his wife and the so-called press - all of whom, along with the Democrat party are responsible for deceiving the country and putting our very survival at risk.

81 million votes my @$$.

The narrative about Biden purportedly being a good man is absurd. He has been caught on video twisting an eight year old girl’s nipple.

Not a good idea to ask Biden to bow. He’ll topple over.
