President Joe Biden took the stage Monday night to deliver a prime time farewell address to the Democratic National Convention; however, he found himself sidelined and pushed out of prime time due to the rancorous receptions to Hillary Clinton and a surprise appearance by Kamala Harris--a sidelining reminiscent of Democrat pressure to push the president out of the 2024 race.
Key Details:
Biden's farewell address, which was intended as a centerpiece of the evening, was overshadowed by the receptions for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris earlier in the night, leaving Biden to deliver his remarks to a smaller audience than expected.
During his address, Biden attempted to downplay the circumstances of his departure, claiming, "All those people who said I should step down, that's not true." However, his insistence seemed at odds with the reality of the pressure he faced from within his own party, including Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, who the Trump campaign noted looked "extremely guilty" during chants of "We Love Joe."
...
Despite the delay, Biden thanked his supporters and doubled down his commitment to the country in his lameduck term. "It's been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president," Biden said, with tears in his eyes. He also took the opportunity to endorse Kamala Harris fully, calling her selection as his running mate "the best decision I made in my whole career."
...
As the night concluded, the outgoing president's legacy appeared to be increasingly defined by the actions of others, particularly the ascendant Harris, who even herself appeared to be upstaged by Hillary Clinton. Biden, who once commanded the full attention of the party, now found himself playing a supporting role in a convention that seems to have already moved on from his presidency.
Biden took the opportunity to repeat the Foundational Lie of his entire 2020 fake candidacy, that Trump called Nazis and White Supremacists "very fine people."
Even Snopes admits this is a lie -- four years later.
I'm sure the "fact checkers" from the Marxist propaganda networks were swift to debunk this in real time.
I ran for President in 2020 because of what I saw in Charlottesville in August of 2017. Extremists coming out of the woods, carrying torches, their veins bulging from their necks, carrying Nazi swastikas and chanting the same exact antisemitic bile that was heard in Germany in the early '30s. Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the Ku Klux Klan, so emboldened by a President then in the White House that they saw as an ally. They didn't even bother to wear their hoods.
Hate was on the march in America. Old ghosts in new garments, stirring up the oldest divisions, stoking the oldest fears, giving oxygen to the oldest forces that they long sought to tear apart America. In the process, a young woman was killed. When I contacted her mother, I asked about what happened. She told me. When the President was asked what he thought had happened, Donald Trump said, and I quote, "There are very fine people on both sides." My God, that's what he said. That is what he said and what he meant.
Ed Morrissey comments:
Trump wasn't even talking about the rally, but the dispute over Confederate monuments, which prompted the extremist rally. However, Trump was characterizing the larger groups of people "on both sides" debating whether to keep or remove the monuments, not those showing up to the rally. This was known literally from the first day that Trump made those remarks, seven years almost to the day from when Biden took the stage last night.
Biden wasn't done lying yet (and I'm sure Jake Tapper was furiously fact-checking him!):
Well, during the pandemic, Kamala and I helped states and cities get back their schools back open.
More lies at the link, including Biden's claim that Trump left the border open but Biden worked hard to close it. And he would have closed it, if those Republicans didn't block his Fake Border Security Bill which was long on amnesty and short on actual border security.
And Biden uncorked this debunked lie as well:
Biden has always been a nasty, stupid, vicious demagogue. No tears will fall when this corrupt worm finally curls up and withers into dust.
