Dick Morris Remembers
A recently resurfaced video now making the rounds shows the Democratic presidential nominee calling a crowd of U.S. service members “stupid bastards.”
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.
