Iowa Starting Line @IAStartingLineAsked about Bidens decent man comment on Pence, Warren says Im sorry. I followed Pences history on LGBTQ Americans, and I dont think that is a decent position. I disagree.
Reporter: You dont think the Vice President is a decent man?
Warren: No

As a talk radio host, he was barely competent, but as the VP, he is as lost as Trump.

(52,162 posts)As much as one would like to blame Biden for saying what he said, the fact is, the wider culture holds the view that one can be a decent person and treat gays like Pence does and has held this view for pretty much ever. I have long advocated for the standard Warren is setting here, but I am not certain that will be the standard anytime soon.

She is sharp, intelligent, down to earth, well-spoken, warm, and I really feel that she "gets it".

Our candidates dont have to shit all over them but they cannot praise them. It completely normalizes them when we do.
