As President Donald Trump so accurately summarized in a recent interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now officially running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, is “not the brightest light bulb” in the group of candidates — or anyone else in the Democratic Party for that matter.
Biden, who has become infamous as much for his ludicrous gaffes as he is for inappropriate touching during photo opportunities, just uttered something that is so absurdly false that you’ll probably have to listen to it multiple times, if only to confirm that he actually said it.
Following his official announcement to kick off his campaign, Biden appeared on the set of ABC’s “The View” for a stomach-churning love-fest with the liberal — and borderline liberal — co-hosts who showered Biden and his former boss, President Barack Obama, with an abundance of adulation.
At one point in the discussion, Biden made the absolutely ridiculous and provably false assertion that there was “not one single whisper of a scandal” during the eight years of the Obama administration.
