Joe Biden has said many bizarre things during his time in office.
But on Thursday he had just finished traveling back to the White House, and he spoke to reporters as he transferred from his plane to Marine One.
Biden was talking about Liz and Dick Cheney because Liz Cheney was campaigning with Kamala Harris in Wisconsin on Thursday. What Biden said made some on the left lose their minds, and it is in complete contrast to what he used to say about Dick Cheney. Additionally, it seemed like Joe was just stirring up a storm, as he became enraged when questioned by reporters and then made bizarre comments about Israel and hurricanes.
“One of the most momentous speeches I have ever heard. She has character. I know her father. We argue like hell, but I’ve always admired his courage and honesty. What she did – physical courage. I’ve never been so proud. “Damn, character is what we need in this country!”

She gave one of the most momentous speeches I have ever heard. She has character. I know her father and her father too. We argue like hell, but I’ve always admired his courage and honesty. What she did required not only political courage but also physical courage. This required physical courage. I’ve never been so proud. Really incredibly proud of her.
She and her father have character. Character, damn it, is what we need in this country! In terms of character, there isn’t enough of that [unintelligible].
Then, when he turned to another reporter with another question, he appeared uncertain for a moment, right at about 55 seconds into the video. What the hell is happening?
The reporter then asked if he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he wanted to speak to but had apparently kept quiet about for days. Biden said he had not spoken to him because “there is no action taking place at this time.” What? Doesn’t he know what’s going on? There is no action? Two days ago, Iranian ballistic missiles were fired at Israel. Yikes. He is completely disconnected and what he has said has undermined Israel.

Some thought he may have mistakenly revealed information that Israel would not retaliate that day.
From the pool: When asked about possible Israeli retaliation against Iran, President Biden said: “Nothing will happen today.”

That would also be another gigantic problem. I think Israel has kept things under wraps precisely because it doesn’t trust Biden. So I wonder if they would even tell them until there was retaliation.
It’s challenging to hear, but I believe he was also asked about attacks on Iran’s oil facilities and whether that would cause prices to rise. His answer? “If the hurricane hits, prices will rise. “I don’t know, who knows,” he scolded her.
She asks, “Are you telling them?” [Israel] not to do that?
Biden responded: “I don’t negotiate publicly.”
Not only does he seem to be around 100 years ancient mentally and perhaps physically, what he said about Dick Cheney is of course another lie. He called him “probably the most dangerous vice president in American history.”
During the 2008 vice presidential debate, Joe Biden declared, “Dick Cheney was probably the most dangerous vice president in American history.”
So no: Joe Biden did not “always admire” Dick Cheney. https://t.co/7RF6J0ogWy pic.twitter.com/g5CAiFt74E

But now that they want to operate his support to maintain control, he has “courage and honesty.” Oh, and “Character be damned!” Reality turns on its head.
They continue to tout Cheney support as if it means something, when in reality the left hates them and no one on the right cares about them. Liz Cheney lost her seat by almost 40 points, so rejected was she by Republicans in her state. Who does such support assist?
Some on the left were stunned that Biden said this, given their opinions of Cheney. But they shouldn’t be. Democrats are always completely transactional; It’s always about your own strength. So they’re going to turn on a dime and embrace “probably the most dangerous vice president in American history.”
Biden says it takes character. Indeed.
It’s a shame he doesn’t get any of it.
