Joe Biden Walks Back A Statement And Then Runs Away From Another, Literally

Biden’s handlers give him detailed instructs on on what to say and what to do but sometimes he takes the notes too literally. Recently, the teleprompter told him to repeat a line and he actually said “repeat the line.” It’s getting weirder because he was told to walk back a statement and physically walked backwards. Then, he must have been told to run away from another statement and took off running.

Over the summer Biden went to Saudi Arabia to beg them to pump more oil. On Wednesday, OPEC, which includes the Saudis, announced they would slash oil production, the complete opposite of what Joe begged for. A reporter asked Biden about this:

“No, the trip was not essentially for oil. The trip was about the Middle East and about Israel and rationalization of physicians. But it is a disappointment and it says there are problems,” said Biden.

Then, with reporters still asking questions, Biden began to slowly walk backwards.

Clearly, his handlers told him through an earpiece that he needed to walk back his statement that the Saudis agreed to pump more oil and this is how he interpreted that. Then again, they might have told him to walk back his statement about the “rationalization of physicians.” Either way, he actually just walked backwards.

Next up in the Biden’s Brain is Gone file, Joe told a crowd at a DNC fundraiser last night that nuclear Armageddon was imminent.

“First time since the Cuban missile crisis we have a direct threat of the use [of a} nuclear weapon if in fact things continue down the path they are going,” said Biden, adding, “We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis.”

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre already walked back this statement saying, “We have not seen any reason to adjust our own strategic nuclear posture, nor do we have indications that Russia is preparing to imminently use nuclear weapons.”

Still, reporters wanted to ask Biden about it as he headed off to Delaware for the weekend:

A reporter asked Biden if he really believes Armageddon is upon us and he took off running. Well, as much of a sprint as his crazy old legs will allow.

What happened here is that his handlers told him he needs to distance himself from his claim that we about to wiped out in a global thermonuclear war. In Biden’s head, distancing himself from that statement meant running from the question.

Not only is Joe Biden highly suggestible, he takes everything literally. If I were one of his handlers, I’d have some fun with this.

When West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin won’t go along with Biden’s agenda, I’d tell him “F*ck Manchin” just to see what he’d do.

Come to think of it, this may explain why Joe goes to Delaware every weekend. He probably says something unbelievable and one of his more polite staffers replies, “get out of town.”
