Biden remarked in 2017 that the former president's criticism of "institutional structures that govern us" was "dangerous" during an event in Washington, D.C., The New York Daily News reported at the time. He then urged Trump to take a more "presidential" tone in the future.
"When you delegitimize the courts, you delegitimize the legislative body, it's corrosive and it makes it almost impossible to reach compromise," Biden said during the 2017 speech. "We're a diverse nation... this democracy, in order to function, you have to remember it requires consensus at the end of the day."
"Without consensus we have chaos and it's not just Joe Biden saying this, it's our Constitution," he continued. "We know the court when it rules has the right to overrule a Congress or a president."
President Joe Biden characterized the Supreme Court as "destabilizing" Thursday...
"The one thing that has been destabilizing is the outrageous behavior of the Supreme Court of the United States on overruling not only Roe v. Wade, but essentially challenging the right to privacy," the president said Thursday during a press conference in Spain.
So when did you tell the truth, Mr. President?
