Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumHow did Biden know the man he chewed out wasn't a Democrat? And why didn't Biden simply say
that the claim made by the man was completely false, and not a bit of evidence has ever supported it?
Because when Biden said, "No one says" that he sent his son to get the job -- that was wrong. LOTS of people in the rightwing media are saying that. And the person -- possibly a Democrat -- who asked the question wasn't necessarily lying. He might have been brainwashed by Fox or some other rightwing outlet.
What I think Biden meant was no one has ever provided a bit of evidence for a claim like that. I wish he'd said that, instead of calling the man a damned liar.
I hope his staff is helping to prepare him on this topic. He needs to do better than "no one says" and switch to something like "there is zero evidence that that is true" or "this has been debunked over and over."
I am resigned to the fact that Joe Biden fans will always defend him no matter what. But if he's going to be the nominee, I'm hoping he can get better prepared to handle the inevitable media lies.

(94,598 posts)Separately, the man told the 77-year-old Biden that he worries the former vice president is too old for the presidency. Biden challenged the man to a pushup contest and an IQ test. The man later told reporters that he prefers Elizabeth Warren, a 70-year-old Massachusetts senator, for president.

That's not how Conflict of Interest rules work. The point is to avoid even the appearance of a possible conflict of interest, so others can't make false claims, as is being done now. Hunter should have asked his father before taking that job, and Biden then could have gotten the approval (or not) from State. Joe didn't, so he left himself wide open to this kind of accusation.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/diplomat-expressed-concern-hunter-bidens-foreign-work-2015/story?id=66369013
Deputy Secretary of State George Kent told investigators that he grew so concerned about the appearance of a conflict of interest presented by Hunter Bidens role on the board of a Ukrainian oil and gas company that he conveyed his misgivings to an aide to the then-vice president, the sources said.
Kent said in his testimony that Bidens aide told him that the vice president didnt have the bandwidth to address Hunter Bidens professional work because his other son, Beau, was battling cancer, according to the Washington Post, which first reported Kents claim.
A spokesman for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., declined to comment on the closed door testimony. A spokesman for the Biden campaign said that "on Joe Biden's watch, the U.S. made eradicating corruption a centerpiece of our policies toward Ukraine."

So it was out of compassion and kindness that they didn't approach Biden -- not because the concern wasn't real.
The only action Biden took that was a mistake was having the "don't ask don't tell policy" with regard to Hunter's business activities. Biden should have cleared that unusual policy with the ethics people. If he had, he wouldn't be in this position today.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/18/politics/diplomat-george-kent-testifies-hunter-biden-ukraine/index.html
Washington (CNN)Career diplomat George Kent told congressional investigators earlier this week he had voiced concerns in early 2015 about former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter working for a Ukrainian natural gas company, the Washington Post reported Friday.
Citing three people familiar with the testimony, the newspaper reported that Kent, the deputy assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, recounted concerns during his testimony Tuesday that Hunter Biden's work could undercut American efforts to convey to Ukraine the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest.
The people told the Post when Kent raised the risk of Ukraine viewing Biden as a direct line to his father, he told investigators, the then-vice president's office responded that Biden didn't have the "bandwidth" to address Hunter's situation while his other son, Beau, battled brain cancer. Kent did not name the Biden staffer he interacted with, the people told the Post.

Good one on Joe.
As far as saying "there is zero evidence or this has been debunked over and over?" Joe Biden has said that numerous times when asked. But this time? He chewed the guy out, pushed back and stood his ground.
Frankly, we better all be prepared to go to the ground in the upcoming election. This is just the beginning; it's going to get really ugly regardless of who our nominee is.

(35,686 posts)What difference does it make? A Democrat can ask questions that are critical of candidates.
I work at a university and you would be surprised at some of the beliefs of fellow professors. I know these people for decades and know they have long histories of voting for Democrats. They are also heavily biased toward Catholic office-holders like Pelosi and presumably Biden, since he is Catholic. Based on conversations I've heard, these people actually think Lindsey Graham's inquiry is needed. They don't understand what Hunter Biden brought to the table. They question his credentials for making that kind of money.
This is where I think people like Bloomberg see an opening. There really is a problem with how this looks and no amount of denial is going to take that away. The worst part is that throughout the Senate impeachment trial, the republicans are going to publicize it to the max.
Somebody on Biden's team better come up with an answer for this because lying low on the issue isn't working very well.

karynnj
(59,504 posts)response that he could give. I agree that if this is repeated, it will be damaging. One reason is that the story becomes an angry confrontation about something he was said to have done wrong.
I like your suggested wordings, though I wonder if first speaking of HIS OWN actions, which were entirely based on US foreign policy/Obama administration goals, followed by explaining that Hunter Biden did not break any laws in accepting the board position. He could then repeat that his administration will develop rules against family members of administration people being on boards connected to areas they have any authority over. He could then say that no previous administration had this policy. (There actually are difficulties in defining such a rule because it would be seeking to bar adult children (and potentially other relatives) from accepting legal job opportunities. ) -- He might even argue the reason for such a rule is that he understands how foreign countries could see this as a way to curry favor of an administration, even when none is given.
It would be great if John Kerry could help him craft an answer. Temperamentally, they may be near opposites on how they respond to things like this. Where Biden is far too hot tempered, Kerry, when angry, may actually be more in control than when he isn't. Helping Biden craft a reply that answers the questions, probably staying away from mentioning Hunter, is essential.
I get that Biden responded to that as an attack on his integrity, but attacking the messenger does not answer the question sufficiently.
I also hope that Kerry can do for Biden what Kennedy did for Kerry in 2004. It is easier to have someone else praising your character, accomplishments, and ability than making the case yourself.
I also wonder if Kerry, like he did for Obama, gave Biden the generous offer of Biden chosing when and where he would endorse him. Part of the reason for thinking this is that it fits well with the big Biden foreign policy leader ad and it could help counter Bloomberg claiming some of the moderate support that has been Biden's. One reason for thinking that is it is so close to Kerry's World War Zero announcement that Kerry has been signalling since at least February. That effort is intentionally non partisan. However, Kerry himself is clearly a liberal Democrat and will support any Democrat who wins the nomination.

And then we got a good foreshadowing of how "Rabid Joe" will deal with Trump and lying Trumpists.
Joe has a fire in the belly and Americans will love this. It is precisely what they want from a Democratic candidate.
I'm willing to bet Joe Biden proved to a lot of people on that day that he is the one to run. And that he is the one who will win.
He will keep Trump on the defensive all season. For whatever reason. Joe Biden has almost unique sort of teflon against Trump's usual intimidation tactics. Only the Speaker has a similar immunity.
Trump can't work his stuff on Joe. And Joe will hammer Trump.
