You hear what one heart broken mother revealed about biden yesterday first, i want to take a step back tonight. Losing your wife and young daughter in a car crash and decades later losing your 46yearold son to a brain tumor, i mean, that would be hard for anyone to bear. We all know that not only did joe get through it, well, he used it, it turns out, to brand himself politically as a compassionate, dedicated fighter for the every man. Now, back in 2019, politico basically admitted it, publishing a piece titled how grief became joe bidens super power. Two tragedies, 43 years apart, have defined the former v. P. s life. Have they also made him a more formidable president ial candidate . It wasnt about his political views or his experience. It was about his grief. And just today nbc news has another piece out on the same topic and thats titled joe bidens brand is being tested like never before. His brand as a family oriented Public Servant has been a signature political asset for more th
obviously very calculated move on his part. and then through his long political career, these same tragedies would become biden s favorite talking point. shortly after i was elected my wife and daughter were killed. tractor-trailer broadside them and killed my wife and daughter and badly injured my two kids. when i left the vice presidency after bo died i wasn t going to get involved in politics. guy who should be standing here president this is not hyperbole is my son bo. while his use of the tragedy to score political points, you know, look, i think it s tasteless and it s tacky. imagine lying about how your own son died. well, that s gross enough. but it gets worse. he lied about that not once, not twice, but at least three times. and that s only counting the public speeches he gave. all of it takes it to a new low, even for joe.
