For the first time maybe in his history, Joe Biden said something that wasn’t completely insane, racist, sexist, or just plain stupid. The former VP called the current VP Mike Pence a decent guy, which obviously set the left off. Liberals absolutely annihilated Biden for this mild compliment so he walked it back, showing that his lack courage and conviction makes him an almost perfect democrat.
Wall Street Journal reporter Reid Epstein gave this nothing piece of information from a Biden speaking engagement in Nebraska:
In Omaha, Joe Biden calls Mike Pence “a decent guy, our vice president.”

And the entire liberal world went into full meltdown mode. Here’s liberal writer Dan Gilmore pitching a fit:
In a decent world, this would disqualify Biden. https://t.co/mFtFRoIYNK

Technically it’s Biden’s insanity that disqualifies him, but whatever. Next there was lefty activist Adam Best blaming Mike Pence for AIDS:
Mike Pence believes in gay conversion therapy and allowed an HIV outbreak to happen in Indiana. No, Joe Biden, Pence is not a decent guy. He’s scum. https://t.co/QAHQQ6Nurp

No seriously, how can you blame gay people having unprotected sex and contracting HIV on Mike Pence? If he’s so against homosexuality, presumably he never promoted risky gay sex, right?
For some reason the mayor of Long Beach, CA got in on the action.
Actually Mr. Biden, a person that supports conversation therapy on young gay kids is not a decent guy. https://t.co/bLirgq360F

Then the Daily Kos guy ended Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential dreams before they even started:
LOL, and he actually thinks he’d have a chance in a Democratic primary? Joe can stay out and go out a winner. I can’t fathom why he’d want anything else. https://t.co/0yHdsQ8u1x

And ThinkProgress Ian Millhiser threw what he thought was sarcasm at Joe.
Tomorrow, Joe Biden will woo Democratic primary voters by touting his work on the bankruptcy bill while wearing an “ALL LIVES MATTER” shirt. Chik-Fil-A will be served. https://t.co/GdQlvKQlbM
— Ian Millhiser (@imillhiser) February 28, 2019
It very telling about the left that they consider bankruptcy reform, all lives mattering, and really good chicken sandwiches to be the worst things in the world.
Progressive writer Jordan Zakarin interpreted the Biden statement in the weirdest way possible:
So Biden is anti-millennials, pro-Mike Pence. Got it. https://t.co/PwKXpJsWrl
— Jordan Zakarin (@jordanzakarin) February 28, 2019
So thinking Mike Pence is decent means hating all millennials? Also, what’s wrong with hating millennials?
Biden got a lot of shit from the left over this minor Pence compliment, but it took Sex and the City star and former NY candidate for Governor Cynthia Nixon to actually get something done.
.@JoeBiden you’ve just called America’s most anti-LGBT elected leader “a decent guy.”
Please consider how this falls on the ears of our community. @DrBiden https://t.co/Cw2beknTj7
— Cynthia Nixon (@CynthiaNixon) February 28, 2019
And here was Joe Biden’s response:
You’re right, Cynthia. I was making a point in a foreign policy context, that under normal circumstances a Vice President wouldn’t be given a silent reaction on the world stage.
But there is nothing decent about being anti-LGBTQ rights, and that includes the Vice President.

How’s that for profiles in courage? Biden extends a pleasantry to Mike Pence, extreme leftists scream in his face about it, and he promptly reverses course.
Biden may be the elder statesman in the Democratic Party but he has a lot to learn about the new radical left that has taken over. His centrist-leaning positions are going to get shredded by the hysterical progressives that now dominate the left. For some reason this makes me want him to run for president even more. He’s a gaffe machine that will provide endless entertainment, but also the freak-outs he will cause among the lunatic left and his backtracking should make 2020 the funniest thing in American political history.
