2020 is not the first time Joe Biden ran for the Democratic presidential nomination. Before he was Vice President for two terms serving with Barack Obama, and before he bowed out of his run for president in 2008, Sen. Biden staged a short-lived campaign in 1988.
During that failed run, Biden was caught in incidents of plagiarism both on the campaign trail and his earlier time at the Syracuse University College of Law. The video below shows how Biden lifted portions of a speech by the United Kingdom Labour MP and Margaret Thatcher challenger Neil Kinnock.
But Biden didn’t just randomly claim words that were not his own. He mimicked entire portions of Kinnock’s speech given earlier that year. Though staffers defended Biden, he dropped out of the race less than a month later.
Biden apparently didn’t learn his lesson from his 1998 lies and plagiarism stunt, because he’s back at it again!
Biden’s lies morphed into outright stupidity when he told reporters in 2019, “If we were in high school, I’d take [Trump] behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.”
Trump responded to the veiled threat, “Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy … he is weak, both mentally and physically … He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way!”
Watch the video to learn what Jimmy Dore says would happen when and if Joe Biden faces Donald Trump in a debate. What makes watching Dore even more interesting is the fact he is a progressive! Even he can’t stand his party’s probable nominee.
