Gosh, we’re starting to think Democrats putting all of their eggs in the Joe Biden basket may have been a seriously big mistake. Between his eruption at an auto worker this morning who simply asked the candidate about his positions on guns and this interview on MSNBC about why he voted for the Iraq War … yikes.
Not backed by anyone else’s reporting that I know of either. It is simply a false account of what Biden did and said at the time. Thread below establishes that. https://t.co/5bipEjrb3h

Take a look at this from CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski.
Biden on MSNBC last night said of his vote for the Iraq War, "I didn't believe he had those nuclear weapons. I didn't believe he had those weapons of mass destruction."
He said his vote was for inspectors to prove they didn't have WMDs.

Biden said on the administration's WMD case in 2003: "I know there's enough circumstantial evidence that if this were a jury trial, I could convict you."https://t.co/LcR6klpreY

In Feb. 2003: "I supported the resolution to go to war. I am not opposed to war to remove weapons of mass destruction from Iraq. I am not opposed to war to remove Saddam from those weapons if it comes to that."https://t.co/LcR6klpreY

This sounds to us like he had no doubt so the idea that he voted for the war to prove somehow there shouldn’t be a war just seems … well it seems stupid.
This is a new rationale for Biden, but its similar to his stance a year after the war began where it became clear there were no WMDs and he argued the war was justified on violating international order alone. https://t.co/Z7ftH6bSZY pic.twitter.com/ulHyzPbZMZ

There ya’ go.
The most revealing part was when Biden called Saddam Hussein "a lying dog-faced pony soldier".

He probably told Saddam he was full of s**t too.
Biden is lying.

Or maybe he forgot? The guy doesn’t always know what state he’s in or even which office he’s running for.
At least John Kerry said he voted for the war before he voted against it. Joe Biden is apparently claiming he voted for the war……..in order to not go to war?

Something like that.
Don’t look at us, man, we just work here.
