Biden’s cringe-inducing performance at the CNN town hall had little substance beyond showing how out of touch he is. Some almost notable points:
He opposes using the elimination of the filibuster in order to pass voting bills, although he did say that people should have to actually hold the floor to prevent a vote.
Biden claimed (falsely) that never before had a legislature chosen its Electoral College electors: “We have election officials across the board that they’re deciding to push out of the way. And if, in fact, tomorrow — let’s say we’re running last time and we’re — these laws had been in effect that are — these changes. In Georgia, the Georgia legislature — you know, Biden won by multiple thousand votes; they could say, ‘We don’t think it was legit.’ And the state legislature votes, ‘We’re going send electors up to Congress to vote for Trump, not Biden.’ That’s never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever been tried before. This is Jim Crow on steroids what we’re talking about.”
On defunding the police, he informed the audience, “No, I’ve never — never, never said defunding the police.”
