Joe Biden, Kamala Harris Giving Democrats Heartburn – Democrats have a problem. Both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have toxic personalities that are turning off voters.
A new Axios report titled “Old Yeller” notes that Biden, whose popular persona in the media has been of himself as a “nice guy,” “a decent guy,” is anything but what his handlers want the world to think.
Behind closed doors, Biden launches into tirades against staffers, not unlike those reported by Harris staffers about her as being a “soul destroying” boss and a bully. Axios reports that Biden’s staffers often bring in another person to avoid taking the brunt of the president’s fury along. Some of the colorful language that he loves to hurl at staffers includes.
“God *******, how the **** don’t you know this?!,” “Don’t ******* ********me!” and “Get the f*** out of here!”
His honed image as the grandfatherly figure who drives a Corvette and dons aviator sunglasses, but staffers say that “No one is safe” when Biden goes on a tirade.
Author: Joe Biden Temper is Real
“There’s no question that the Biden temper is for real. It may not be as volcanic as Bill Clinton’s, but it’s definitely there,” Chris Whipple, author of “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House,” told Axios.
Whipple notes that former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki frequently bore the brunt of Biden’s temper when she worked at the White House.
“I said to [Biden] multiple times, ‘I’ll know we have a really good, trusting relationship when you yell at me the first time,’” Whipple wrote in his book.
Former staffers interviewed by Axios note that Joe Biden is a perfectionist who holds his staff to a high standard.
“If there is something that’s not in the brief, he’s going to find it,” former Biden Senate staffer Ted Kauffman said. “It’s not to embarrass people, it’s because he wants to get to the right decision. Most people who have worked for him like the fact that he challenges them and gets them to a better decision.”
Biden’s Failure to Embrace Granddaughter Taints Image
Joe Biden presents himself as a family man; however, his failure to embrace his 4-year-old granddaughter Navy Joan Roberts has even stalwart liberal New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd crying foul.
“Joe Biden’s mantra has always been that “the absolute most important thing is your family.” It is the heart of his political narrative. Empathy, born of family tragedies, has been his stock in trade. Callously scarring Navy’s life, just as it gets started, undercuts that,” Dowd writes. “As Katie Rogers, a Times White House correspondent, wrote in a haunting front-page piece last weekend about Hunter’s unwanted child, Biden is so sensitive ‘that only the president’s most senior advisers talk to him about his son.’ Rogers said that ‘in strategy meetings in recent years, aides have been told that the Bidens have six, not seven, grandchildren.’ Jill Biden dedicated her 2020 children’s book to the six grandchildren.
Dowd continued: “What the Navy story reveals is how dated and inauthentic the 80-year-old president’s view of family is.”
Sky News contributor Kristin Tate agrees with Dowd saying, “This could be what ultimately rocks the Biden camp and takes this president down in terms of popularity.”
Democrats: Joe Biden Needs to Go Away
Tate notes that Democrats she talks with want Biden to go away and that they aren’t any happier with Kamala Harris.
“She’s such a liability and such a dud. Nobody likes her. Nobody’s ever liked her,” Tate said. “Donald Trump is booming in popularity … because Joe Biden has seen his base shrink as my who are on the moderate Left side of the aisle are becoming apathetic,” Tate said.
