Brian Stelter may not like it when people call Joe Biden’s mental health into question, but honestly, it’s hard not to wonder if Uncle Joe’s maybe not all there when he says things like this:
Joe Biden: "Know what I was most proud of? For eight years, there wasn't one single hint of a scandal or a lie." pic.twitter.com/Yb8Mm8DdIC

So, is Joe Biden lying, or is he just delusional? It doesn’t really matter, because in either case, he’s clearly not to be trusted.
Uh, Fast and Furious?

Dearest @JoeBiden, you forgot the IRS scandal, #Benghazi, Fast and Furious, …….

Benghazi? Fast and Furious? IRS Targeting?
Did he forget about all of that?

.@PolitiFact named “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it” their “Lie Of The Year” in 2013: https://t.co/Inb7LvrzMZ https://t.co/WWO4Y8PgV9

I mean, even PolitiFact gave Obama 'lie of the year' when he blatantly misled the American people about his technocratic health-care plan. That lie upturned millions of lives.

A reminder that the Obama admin created the Disposition Matrix, a secret list of people approved for assassination by the US military. There are US citizens on there, none of whom receive fair trials or due process.
It's the most terrifying thing the govt has done in my lifetime. https://t.co/YlO6BoXgzn— You Should Have Voted Gary (@colorblindk1d) June 12, 2019

“Operation Fast and Furious” put around 2,000 weapons into the hands of narco-traffickers (and an Islamic terrorist), leading to the murder of 100s of Mexicans and at least one American, border agent Brian Terry.

It's true, though, that during the incompetence, absurdity, recklessness, and fatalities of the program, the entire affair never really received scandal-like attention. Few did.

Holder became the first sitting attorney general in American history to be held in contempt of Congress — a vote that included 17 Democrats — and Obama still never paid a political price.

Obama could secretly send planes filled with cash to pay a ransom to a terror state (using money earmarked for terror victims) and most reporters and analysts would regurgitate echo chamber talking points.

Not all. When Politico reported that the Obama administration had undermined law enforcement efforts to shut down a drug-trafficking ring run by Hezbollah operating in the United States, most major news organizations never even mentioned the piece.

The Obama DOJ spied on the Associated Press, tapping around 20 different phone lines—including cell phone and home lines—that snared at least 100 staffers who worked for the outlet.
— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) June 12, 2019
The Justice Department also spied on Fox News reporter James Rosen in 2010, collecting his telephone records, looking at his personal emails and tracking his movements.

Then again, CIA director, John Brennan covered up illegal spying of a legislative branch staffer over torture files. James Clapper lied to Congress about spying on American citizens. No scandals.

IRS leadership aggressively targeted conservative groups before elections. The IRS admitted as much in an apology letter.
— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) June 12, 2019
Susan Rice went on national television and claimed that Benghazi was a “spontaneous reaction” to “hateful and offensive video,” even when she knew it was a sophisticated and pre-planned terror attack. No scandal.
— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) June 12, 2019
Cronyistic green projects which enriched political allies. Secret Service’s embarrassing debauchery. Obama's constant unilateral abuse of power. Hillary Clinton’s attempts to circumvent transparency. The Veterans Affairs’ negligence. No scandals.
— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) June 12, 2019
Not a smidgen of scandal.
I mean Obama got the Lie of the Year in 2013 from PolitiFact, so there was that. I would leave out the "lie" and just stick to the "no scandals" line if I were Biden, then Twitter folks can make Tan Suit jokes and snicker about their cleverness. https://t.co/YG5BacIQXq
