Biden uses Beau's death for political points, again

The look one gets when one's pants are on fire

Well, Joe Biden finally got around to visiting the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland where he lied last week claiming he used to go over that bridge on a train when the bridge has no train tracks to make that possible. 

But at least he got around to actually going there this Friday to see the devastation of the disaster that pulled the structure down where six people lost their lives. And since people lost their lives, it was Biden's opportunity to make that about himself and his son, Beau, so that he could play on people's empathy.

"Well, to all the families and loved ones who are grieving: I’ve come here to grieve with you. We all are," he said. "It’s not the same, but I know a little bit about what it’s like to lose a piece of your soul — to get that phone call in the middle of the night to say family members are gone. I’ve been there. It’s feeling like having a black hole in your chest, like you’re being sucked in, unable to breathe. The anger, the pain, the depth of the loss is so profound." Yadda, yadda.

The Houseplant in Chief added, "And we know it’s hard to believe, and you’re probably not going to believe me, but I can tell you now from personal experience: The day is going to come when the memory of your loved one, as you walk by that park or the church or something that you shared together, it’s going to bring a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye."

Biden's go-to dead person is his son, Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015, although Joe would have us believe he died in combat. And no, Biden didn't get a call "in the middle of the night" because he was there when Beau died at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

NBC News reported Beau's death thus:

Joseph "Beau" Biden III, 46, was hospitalized earlier this month at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He died Saturday evening surrounded by his family, the vice president’s office said.

While it seems as if he was talking about his son to those in Baltimore who lost loved ones in the incident, he may have actually been referring to the deaths of his first wife Neilia, and infant daughter Naomi. However, they didn't die "in the middle of the night" either--the car crash that claimed their lives  occurred in the afternoon, around 2:30 pm. 

So with all said and done, here's how Joe Biden found out:

As Joe recalled in Promises to Keep, he knew something terrible had happened after watching his sister answer the phone at his office that afternoon, a tangible feeling of Neilia's loss heightening when Valerie suggested they return home because of a "slight accident."

"She's dead, isn't she?" Joe said.

So whether it's the Beau story or the wife and daughter story, it really doesn't matter. Joe Biden is a serial liar and an incompetent President who needs to be defeated in this presidential election. One may not like Trump's often abrasive personality, but I'd rather have that and competence, than an incompetent, senile liar who can't find his way offstage.
