Democrats are promoting Biden, despite another scam scandal.
Joe Biden, a 77-year-old Democratic presidential candidate in the United States, added two incidents to the collection of scandals. One of them may well compete even with the notorious Ukrainegate.
The first and less significant scandal unfolded in Detroit. Talking to voters in Detroit, Biden called one of them “horse ass.” The reason for this was the man’s question about plans to ban semi-automatic weapons. The angry democrat began to insult the interlocutor, assuring that the AR-14 rifles are already prohibited.
In addition to offensive remarks, the situation is notable for the fact that such weapons do not exist at all. In the United States, there is a semi-automatic rifle AR-15 with a caliber of 5.56 × 45 mm. And it is openly sold as a civilian weapon.
Nevertheless, the scandal with James Biden, one of the brothers of the former US vice president, became much more loud. He was distinguished by the fact that in an attempt to make a deal between the Middle Eastern emirs and the pharmaceutical company “Americore” he decided to take advantage of Joe’s political influence. However, the adventure did not materialize: the deal failed, and the company’s investors filed a lawsuit against James, accusing him of fraud.
As you know, this is not the only case when Biden uses influence for personal gain. As vice president under Barack Obama, he blackmailed the then president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. Biden sought dismissal from the post of Ukrainian Attorney General Viktor Shokin. The fact is that Shokin initiated an investigation into financial fraud in the gas company Burisma, where Biden’s son Hunter was listed on the board.
In attempts to hush up this scandal, the Democrats even initiated a scandalous case of impeachment of Donald Trump, who wanted to uncover the criminal actions of his opponent.
Despite Biden’s “toxicity”, his results in the primaries are much higher than those of his opponent Bernie Sanders. In the state of Mississippi, Biden received 81% of the vote, in Missouri – 68%, in Michigan – 53%, in Idaho – 49%.
The socialist Sanders is driving this alignment into a dead end. He has already canceled his appeal to supporters, officially linking it to the coronavirus epidemic. The party elites probably sentenced his campaign. Confirmation of this is a sharp change in the rhetoric of Biden, who stopped criticizing Sanders and even thanked him, not considering it as a threat.
On Sunday, March 15, Sanders will have one last chance to influence the primaries. Regular debate is expected on this day. If Sanders speaks strongly and Biden continues to get confused, the situation may change. Otherwise, he can only refuse to participate in the race or become an independent candidate. Based on the experience of 2016, the latter is unlikely.
