The U.S. Media Is Starting to Turn On U.S. Presidential Democrat Primary Candidate Joe Biden

ABC News: Biden defends comments on segregationist Democrats after criticism from 2020 challengers

After a day of criticism from many 2020 presidential opponents, former Vice President Joe Biden is not apologizing for comments he made about finding consensus with Southern Democrats with opposing views while serving in the Senate -- including those who supported segregation.

But Biden went even one step further late Wednesday, saying Sen. Cory Booker should apologize for his own criticism.

WNU Editor: Regular readers of this blog know that I have doubts that Joe Biden will be the Presidential candidate for the US Democrat Party in the 2020 election. His business interests in Ukraine. His family business affairs in China. And his family and personal history are stories that would sink any Presidential aspiration. What surprises me is that I did not expect some in the main stream media to start pushing these stories now. They have known who and what Joe Biden is for years, and they have kept it under wrap for years, especially during President Obama's administration. Flash forward to today, and that "protection" is clearly gone. I expect more stories to come out in the coming weeks, and this is going to be brought up during the debates.
