Wednesday on ABC’s “The View,” former Vice President Joe Biden said President Donald Trump’s tweet saying Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) would “do anything” for campaign contributions was “tone-deaf.”
Biden said “Let’s take him — which is hard to do— I’m not being facetious — at his word that he would say the same thing about men. The idea that the president is so tone deaf not to understand how that phrase relative to a woman with his record, it almost doesn’t matter. First of all, I think it’s disgusting.”
He continued, “Our children are listening.”
He added, “Look our leaders use the kinds of language that is used so often today, we not only dumb down the nature of the conversation, but we allow the seamy side of society to act as if it had a legitimate place. I just hope there’s some movement across the board here in raising the quality and tone of the discussion.”
Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!
