Disqualifying: Biden gave paid speech supporting repuke in 2018

[wellst0nev0ter]

Biden has gotten away with so much garbage for so long, but this one is a dealbreaker in my book.

Biden got paid $200,000 to give a speech to a Republican-leaning business crowd in Michigan during which he praised GOP Congressman Fred Upton even as Democrats were clawing at his seat in the midterms, the New York Times reported Wednesday.

Though it wasn't a formal endorsement, Biden's speech praised Upton for his support of a piece of cancer research legislation (Biden's son Beau died of cancer in 2015) and called him "one of the finest guys I’ve ever worked with.” As the Times reported, that phrase quickly appeared in Republican advertising, and when Upton's Democratic challenger tried to get the former vice president to do something in response, “There was nothing but silence,” the candidate, Matt Longjohn, told the paper. (Upton ultimately won by 4.5 points, the smallest margin of his career.)

Upton is a "moderate" Republican who is antichoice and voted to repeal Obamacare, and Biden knowingly helped him win his race and ignored the Democratic challenger?

Sorry, but I support Democrats who support actual Democrats.
