Morning Joe, Daniel Goldman, and Jim Himes deflect and gaslight in service to super shady Joe and Hunter

Democratic Rep. — and heir to the massive Levi Strauss fortune, don't forget! — Daniel Goldman isn't very good at being smart or savvy, and, from what we've seen this far, he royally sucks at defending the Biden Crime Family. Just yesterday, he told the media that anyone who doesn't think it's normal for Joe Biden to be having conversations with his shady son Hunter's shady business associates is being "preposterous." And besides, when Joe Biden talked to those business associates, they didn't discuss business. The conversations were just about "niceties." You know, like the weather!

Anyway, this morning, Goldman took his "I'm helping!" act to the hallowed halls of MSNBC for an appearance on "Morning Joe." But before we get into what he said while he was there, let's see what the "Morning Joe" crew was discussing:

Morning Joe defends Biden & Hunter's working relationship:
@Lemire: "We should put this in context; this is the time when Beau Biden, the president’s other son, was ill & dying & then passed away. So perhaps he wasn’t as attentive to what he should have been"
@Eugene_Robinson: "We know how important family is to the president. So, do you hang up on your son?"

Well, when your son is a pathological failure who loves drugs more than he loves his own family and is fully engaged in bribery schemes and you are fully aware of all of those things, it's OK to hang up on your son. Especially if you're focused on mourning the loss of your other son.

But let's face it: Joe Biden wasn't too consumed with grief to collaborate with his still-living no-good son on highly unethical and illegal acts with foreign businessmen and governments.

Rep. @danielsgoldman: "Let's put this in context: Beau Biden got very sick in 2015. He died in 2015. It was right in the middle when Devon Archer had his business dealings with Hunter Biden. At that point Joe Biden and Hunter Biden began to speak every day because they were devastated by Beau’s death."

Again with invoking Beau Biden's death.

You have to have an awe-inspiring lack of shame to go with this https://t.co/okKvMkqwMx

Oh, he does.

It's okay that Joe Biden is corrupt because his son died https://t.co/Ab63jJj0Wh

This may not be nice to say or nice to hear, but it's still true: since Beau Biden passed away, he's been turned into little more than a tool that Joe Biden can bust out whenever he needs to push bad policy and doesn't want to get pushback. Daniel Goldman may be an idiot, but you'd have to be a flat-out moron not to be able to see that. So Goldman's "context" is absolutely worthless, and it does nothing to justify Joe Biden's frequent conversations with Hunter's business "associates" (we feel like the quotation marks are necessary there, because "associate" doesn't seem to quite cover the nature of the relationship). And now, for twerps like Daniel Goldman, Beau Biden is just a tool that they can bust out whenever they need to shield Joe Biden from criticism or scrutiny. Which is constantly.
