Add Joe Biden to the list of Democratic politicians CNSNews.com has covered in a bizarre or mocking way. Susan Jones writes in a July 5 article:
Former Vice President Joe Biden, now making a third run for his party’s presidential nomination, seemed to raise the possibility that he may not make it this time, either.
In a Fourth of July speech in Iowa, Biden told the crowd, “If Donald Trump has eight years in the White House, he’s going to forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation. And we can’t let that happen, period,” Biden said to applause.
“Whether or not I’m your nominee, and I hope I will be your nominee, I’m going to work like the devil, whoever the nominee is if it’s not me, to see to it that doesn’t happen…”
This is under the meaningless teaser headline “Biden: ‘Whether or Not I’m Your Nominee…'”
Of course, Jones is simply apply her own right-wing bias to Biden’s words. Biden is simply saying that the goal of the Democrats is to oust President Trump in 2020, and he’s realistic enough to note that while he may or may not be that person, keeping eyes on the prize is the important thing.
But in Jones’ biased eyes, acknowledging reality gets twisted into a suggestion he’s not really serious about running for president or is expecting to lose.
