Just before midnight on Monday night, Joe Biden made his long-awaited appearance at the DNC.
Touted as his “farewell address” and a reflection on his career, the former presidential candidate, who exited the race in July, offered nothing groundbreaking.
Instead, his time on stage was predictably characterized by impassioned yelling and rehashing of familiar falsehoods.
It was all too familiar if you tuned into his previous State of the Union address.

Perhaps it was unrealistic to expect any new ideas from an 81-year-old with mental limitations.
Despite his cognitive challenges, he remains the same person – a disturbed sociopath whose vanity rivals his shallowness.
Although his speech followed the usual pattern, there was one instance where he departed from the script.
Right after perpetuating the discredited “very fine people” myth regarding Charlottesville, which has been proven false even by mainstream media, Biden made the following statement.
In the same speech in which Biden said he ran because of Trump’s “very fine people” remark after Charlottesville, he says of the openly pro-Hamas demonstrations outside the DNC: “Those protesters out in the street. They’ve got a point.”

Joseph Robinette Biden stated that the individuals outside the DNC, who are expressing support for terrorists and threatening to “bring the war home” while burning American flags, “have a valid perspective.” It is important to remember the specific group to which he was referring.
Biden demands more aid for Gaza (Hamas), and says protestors in the streets “have a point” before mentioning bringing hostages home. He didn’t say their names or that they are Americans.
