Nearly 30 years ago, Joe Biden could hardly contain his joy at the idea of locking ‘super predators’ aka the SOBs up. He even bragged about it on the floor of the U.S. Senate, taking on a tough tone and insisting Republicans could no longer accuse Democrats of being soft on crime.
Like ‘Jimmy’ says below, Biden bragging about one of the most racist crime bills in modern history is stunning, as well as the decline in his ability to speak and form a coherent thought.
Watch.
These old clips of Biden touting his tough on crime / mass incarceration policies are pretty remarkable to watch now. Also striking is how much his public speaking ability has declined since then. pic.twitter.com/PmGpWs6D1B

It’s like a different guy is running for president, right?
I mean, who is that guy running for president?

He is whoever the DNC wants him to be.
You can almost see their strings on him every time he moves or speaks … it’s creepy.
They eventually had to let him out of his basement.
Boy…do times change for these career criminals

It’s amazing .. the flip flop of the Democrat platform and yet, it’s erased from mainstream media’s memory.

So we’ll keep reminding them.
Tragic how the Democrats are misusing and abusing Joe Biden for their own political gain.

We go between feeling really sorry for him and thinking the whole thing is hilarious.
And of course we really really really hope we get to see some debates.
It's amazing how good and forceful of a speaker Biden was. Makes the contrast today all the more remarkable.

Hard to listen to with that stutter
— No. You're a Nazi (@younaziyou) June 12, 2020
Oh yeah, where was the stutter then? Good point.
Biden probably won’t PLUG these old tough-on-crime clips, and won’t WEAVE them into his current speeches.

But we will.
We’re givers that way.
