In a bit of a surprise move, Joe Biden showed up on “The View” on Wednesday. Sitting at the table with the intellectual heft of Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar surrounding him, the president managed to kneecap Kamala Harris, threaten Donald Trump, and bask in delusion during the segment.
When asked about Harris, Biden did the one thing she can’t afford for him to do: He hung the failures of his administration around her neck.
BIDEN: As Vice President, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do and so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.
Well, that’s good to know because Harris and her allies in the press have been doing their level best to paint the vice president as a powerless bystander who would have done things completely differently had she been in charge. Yet, here’s Biden saying he delegated responsibility to her on “everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.”
The disaster in Afghanistan? She’s responsible. The disaster at the border? That’s on her as well. The exploding inflation and interest rates? Harris did that. I’m glad Biden was able to clear that up for us so we can stop pretending the vice president has no power.
Of course, later in the interview, the topic turned to Donald Trump. At one point Goldberg called the former president a “bug,” at which point Biden then imitated killing one on the table.
