Just when you think Joe Biden could not
embarrass himself any more, he can’t help but prove you wrong.
A recently resurfaced video now making the rounds shows the Democratic presidential nominee calling a crowd of U.S. service members “stupid bastards.”
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THIS VIDEO.
This most recent gaffe is not a new one, but it is certainly just as cringeworthy as the rest of Biden’s biggest hits.
“I have incredibly good judgment,” Biden says
in the video.
“One, I married Jill, and two, I appointed
Johnson to the academy. I just want you to know that.”
There is then a short pause as Biden
awkwardly waits for applause that isn’t going to come.
“Clap for that, you stupid bastards,” he says.
The description of the video, which was
posted on YouTube in 2017, reads “Vice President Joe Biden, recipient of the
Presidential Medal of Freedom calls A room full of servicemen and servicewomen
at an undisclosed location in southwest Asia stupid bastards in March 2016.”
Given that description, it appears the video
is from a speech Biden gave to the
380th Air Expeditionary Wing at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia on
March 7, 2016.
The timing of this video’s resurfacing is
especially troubling for Democrats.
Only a few weeks ago, anonymous sources in a
controversial Atlantic article alleged that
President Donald Trump once called soldiers who were killed in action “losers”
and “suckers.”
The truth of the article’s claims has since
been disputed by former National
Security Advisor John Bolton, a man who has absolutely no reason to protect
Trump given their falling out.
All in all, 21 on-the-record sources denied
Trump made the comments, according to the Washington Examiner.
Nonetheless, Biden used the story as an opportunity
to attack Trump, apparently forgetting about his own comments from 2016.
“Mr. President, if you don’t respect our
troops, you can’t lead them,” the former vice president tweeted.
Unlike the anonymously sourced Atlantic
article, however, it is undeniable that Biden disparaged soldiers during his
remarks in 2016.
In all fairness, Biden could have been
joking, but whatever joke he was trying to make is far from obvious.
That’s the problem with Biden nowadays: The
former vice president has become so nonsensical with his statements that many
have cause to wonder whether his mental state is beginning to decline in his
old age.
And Biden appears to be far worse now than he
ever was in 2016.
A series of verbal blunders and gaffes have
defined the candidate’s less-than-stellar campaign so far.
Perhaps the most famous example came during
the presidential nominee’s interview on the popular radio program “The
Breakfast Club,” hosted by a man going by the name Charlemagne Tha God.
Toward the end of their interview,
Charlemagne suggested that Biden has quite a lot of work left to do to win over
black supporters.
Biden’s response has since been
criticized as borderline racist at best.
“If you have a problem figuring out whether
you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” Biden replied.
Although he later apologized, the gaffe
haunts the Biden campaign to this day.
Now, his comments about soldiers will as
well.
It’s hard to guess which class of people this
bumbling candidate will insult next. We’ll likely find out soon enough.

WATCH: Biden Calls US Troops 'Stupid
Bastards'
By Bronson Stocking | Townhall.com
If the media thought the fake news about Trump calling fallen World War One
soldiers "suckers" and "losers" was breaking news, there's
no excuse for them to ignore this resurfaced video of Biden calling our men and
women in uniform "stupid bastards."
The video was reportedly taken on March 7,
2016, during Biden's visit to Al Dhafra airbase in the United Arab Emirates.
The clip begins with Biden proclaiming that
he has "incredibly good judgment" and ends with Biden ridiculing our
nation's finest.
"Clap for that, you stupid
bastards," Biden said. "C'mon man. Man, you are a dull
bunch. Must be slow here, man."
So here we see Biden in his own words calling
servicemembers "stupid bastards," unlike the anonymously sourced and
widely debunked story in The Atlantic that claimed President Trump referred to
fallen U.S. soldiers in World War One as "suckers" and
"losers." Other people with the president that day and willing to go
on the record said the Atlantic story wasn't true, including former National
Security Adviser John Bolton who recently wrote a book attacking Trump.
Biden is known for making bizarre statements.
In February, the candidate accused a voter of being a "lying dog-faced pony
soldier." According to Biden, the candidate's brother likes to use quotes
from John Wayne movies and sometimes they rub off on him.
Quick, Did John Wayne ever call our troops
"stupid bastards"?

Has Biden Lost His Mind? He Just Compared
Trump to Joseph Goebbels

Democratic nominee Joe Biden said he is
running for president in order to “restore the soul of America,” but he’s just another lying, slimy politician intent on demonizing his opponent, President Donald Trump. While Nazi
comparisons are tragically common in politics, most presidential candidates
have avoided comparing their opponents to Adolf Hitler or Nazi propagandist
Paul Joseph Goebbels.
“He’s sort of like Goebbels, you say the lie
long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common
knowledge,” Biden said in an interview on MSNBC.
The Democrat — who has teamed up with
outright socialists Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie
Sanders (I-Vt.) — tried to smear Trump for calling him out on his increasing
support for big government policies in the direction of socialism. While Trump
does engage in hyperbole, this is hardly comparable to the Nazi propaganda of
Goebbels.
It is astounding that Biden thinks he can run
a campaign on “restoring the soul of America” while comparing his opponent to
the Nazis.
Biden launched his campaign by condemning Trump, arguing he
had praised the white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017 as “good
people.” In reality, the president unequivocally condemned the racists. “I’m
not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should
be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than
neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay?” he said.
After Biden launched his campaign, Trump again explained that he was defending the people
who protected the Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville, not the white
nationalists. Yet Biden continues to parrot the narrative that Trump is
dividing America and the Democrats will bring Americans back together, using
Charlottesville as an example.
Biden would be far from a return to normalcy.
During a debate last year, Biden bragged about launching a character defamation campaign against Supreme Court
nominee Robert Bork. He led an orchestrated smear effort so notorious that it
turned Bork’s last name into a verb. Biden has also repeatedly lied about the
tragic car wreck that killed his wife. While Biden’s late wife was at
fault, Biden repeatedly accused the innocent truck driver of
having “drank his lunch” before the accident.
On policy, Biden campaigned as a “moderate”
in the Democratic primary — far further to the Left than Obama had campaigned
in 2008 and 2012. When it seemed as though the outright socialist Bernie
Sanders was about to win the nomination, the Democratic establishment rallied
around Biden. After he won the race, Biden worked with Sanders to craft the
“most progressive” Democratic platform in history.
Biden appears to take black voters for
granted, telling Charlamagne tha God that if Americans are divided between
voting for him or Trump then “you ain’t black.” Yet Biden long championed the
tough-on-crime legislation that ended up locking up young black men in record
numbers, while Trump has signed criminal justice reform to reverse these
policies. Trump also secured permanent funding for Historically Black Colleges
and Universities (HBCUs), presided over an economy with historically low rates
of black unemployment, and just recently announced a $500 billion “platinum
plan” for the black community.
As Georgia House Rep. Vernon Jones (D) explained, Trump has done more for the black
community in four years than Biden did in more than four decades. Among many
other things, Trump has condemned the rioting that has disproportionately hit
black communities.
“While Biden was turning a blind eye to the
rioting, looting, and indiscriminate violence afflicting Democrat-run cities
all over the country this summer, the President was demanding that Democrat
governors and mayors allow their police forces to restore law and order,
pointing out that destroying small businesses in majority-Black communities
does nothing to advance the cause of racial justice but does negatively impact
the people who live in those communities,” Jones noted.
Indeed, the destructive George Floyd riots
have disproportionately damaged black communities in Kenosha, Wisc., Minneapolis, and Chicago. The riots destroyed black lives, black livelihoods, and black monuments. At least 26 Americans have died in the riots, most of them
black. While Biden condemned the arson and looting early on and more recently,
he remained silent for months. He singled out “right-wing militias” but never condemned
antifa or Black Lives Matter agitators.
Yet Biden has released ads comparing Trump to notorious
segregationist Bull Connor.
As for anti-Semitism, the noxious hatred that
Joseph Goebbels preached, Trump couldn’t be a better ally for Jews and the
Jewish State of Israel. Trump moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, fulfilling a pledge
the last three presidents failed to fulfill. He signed an executive order protecting Jewish students
from anti-Semitic harassment on college campuses. He has even secured historic Middle East peace deals between Israel and
multiple Arab and Muslim countries.
Trump could not be further from Adolf Hitler
or Joseph Goebbels, but Biden frequently engages in the exact kind of political
character defamation for which he condemns Trump. Don’t expect the left-leaning
legacy media to call him out on it, however.
