His peps need to lock him in a closet !
On Friday, Joe Biden gave a speech at the annual Memorial Day event at Veterans Memorial Park in New Castle, Del. — his first public remarks since the revelation of his cancer diagnosis. And it went as well as you would expect. And if you expected him to make the speech about himself and his family, you were right.
In the end, Biden gave us exactly what we’ve come to expect: another tone-deaf, meandering monologue that turns national remembrance into personal promotion of his own grief.
This is not the first time Joe Biden has invoked his son Beau during his Memorial Day remarks despite the fact that he did not die in Iraq, though Joe has claimed as much in the past. Memorial Day is specifically meant to honor and remember those who were killed in combat or as a result of wounds sustained in battle.
While Beau’s military service was honorable, Joe’s constant invocation of his son’s death, especially for Memorial Day ceremonies, is anything but. It’s deeply inappropriate for him to equate Beau’s passing — tragic though it was — with the sacrifice of those killed in combat. When Biden met with the grieving families of the 13 U.S. service members who died during his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, many were appalled, not just by his repeated glances at his watch, but by his insistence on making the moment about Beau.
