Brzezinski rips 'woke' left on Biden: 'You're eating those who can beat Trump'
MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski on Tuesday defended former Vice President Joe Biden for a second straight day, calling allegations of inappropriate touching against him "ridiculous" and warning "woke" people on the left that they're "eating those who can beat Trump."
“I think the next time I see Joe Biden and he doesn't hug me, and give me a kiss and hold my hand while we're talking to you, that's the new Joe Biden, and that's not the Joe Biden I knew," Brzezinski said on "Morning Joe."
"He’s a nice guy, he’s not a predator, and this is ridiculous. Let me just say it, this is ridiculous," Brzezinski continued.
Biden is facing a crisis before the expected launch of his White House bid after he was accused by a second woman of inappropriate touching.
The allegations have shined a spotlight on Biden’s interactions with women, leading to new questions about his behavior and testing his relationships with Democrats.
Brzezinski said that the situation has “gotten out of control.”
"The conversation has gotten out of control," she said. "And Democrats and those on the left who want to tweet me today and go nuts and get all woke, you’re eating your young. You’re eating those who can beat Trump, you’re killing the very people who have been pushing women ahead, who’ve been fighting for equal pay, who have been doing everything they can to respect women in their lives.”
Is this the standard now? As long as it's not as bad as something on the other side, then it's ok?
My guess, Biden is a bit of a creepy "touchy" old dude but generally harmless.
Ever been watching something that's recorded and hit the pause button and just happen to get a really weird shot or facial expression on the pause? Well, it's kind of like that if you are famous and so much of what you do is photographed or captured on video... it becomes very easy to take a snapshot in time and take it totally out of context and make it look worse (or even better) than it really was..
Biden doesn't have a snowballs chance in he!! anyway...
You seem to forget. This election was decided by a 0.57% of the vote combined in three mid western states. Biden is the perfect moderate type candidate it will take to change that. Now if you're saying he doesn't have a chance in hell of winning the Democratic nomination, you may very well have a point.
And no, that's not the new standard. However, it shows just how ridiculous this all is. Even those who are making these accusations do not claim it rises to the standard of sexual harassment. It's the very definition of making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
I think you're all wrong on this one. Take away the fact he's a former senator and vice president and make him an average joe in an average work place, and he'd be out on his ear.
I always do whatabouts. In this case it's extremely relevant.
Your claim seemed to be that Biden wouldn't be able to relate to the average worker. My point is that it's been proven that those who run for office have very little in common with the average worker. Nothing could point that out more than the last presidential election.
I've heard a lot of liberals on this board point to "whatabouts". I'm not one of them. You can't point blame and point fingers at your neighbors without taking a look at your own house.

That wasn't my point at all. My point was, take away his status as a politician and make him a simple joe working in an IT office or wherever and let him pull these sniffing stunts of his (and whatever else he's doing) and he'd be fired in a heartbeat.

So you point the finger at trump, cool.
how's come you aint pointing the finger at Biden? Seems like you are doing everything you can to dismiss the claims.
And if her behavior didn't bother her, why did she come out with her story? It obviously bothered her, and the DNC I would assume sent her an email on how to clean her story up.
You ASSume? I don't doubt that. What Biden did didn't amount to anything. It wasn't a big deal unless you're some kind of snowflake.
Still pointing that finger. Sniffing hair and caressing children that are not yours is not only creepy, but if I was there and it was my kid, the Secret Service would have been arresting me for assault.
Blowing off caressing children, sniffing their hair and the hair of other women, etc. when you have lambasted someone else for 2+ years about his creepy comments and affairs, is well......you pick a name for it.
So you're comparing this to cheating on your wife? Of having sex with a porn star and a playboy bunny?
No, you are. They are both bad behaviors. However the cheating and paying for a pornstar were consensual by adults. Joe seems like hes good friends with Anthony Weiner.
Your saying that consensual relationships between adults are caressing and touching children are equal.
Touching a child? No, children should be wrapped in plastic wrap at all times when in public to assure they can't be touched. You have officially become a snowflake.

Watch the videos, I guess you like that sort of thing. Im sure having your hand under the breast area of a preteen is everyday affection while you smell her hair around your parts.
All joe needs is a dog, a basket, and he could be on silence of the lambs.

Can we just stop with the name calling? Willit isn't anymore a snowflake than your last statement makes you creepy.

That's what he doesn when hes trying to defend a stance he knows he shouldn't be. He got caught in a whataboutism, defending perverted behavior - but his hate for the other guy (which I can see why he hates him) blinds him from the fact that the other person isn't exactly mother Teresa.
Ahhh. Why is it that so many who supported a man who is a heaping pile of garage want to deflect from their own actions by pointing the finger elsewhere.
Sort of like a murderer talking about how terrible someone is who committed a traffic violation.

Trump is a horrible person who should never have been elected. Biden is also a... weirdo (?) who shouldn't be elected.
Just because one bad thing happened is a lousy reason to make a similarly bad decision.
There are ways to show affection without being creepy about it... like most normal human beings do. If a stranger walked up to you and started rubbing your leg/chest/neck while standing close enough to feel his breath, how would you react? If they did it to your kid?
If you weren't aware of his "awww shucks", kindly grandpa public persona, how would you interpret his actual actions?
You mess with the "Bull," you get the horns. Fiercely Independent.

You tell 'em Ms. Streisand.. there isn't really anything that bad about touching a child... whatever the adults sexual needs are, that's what they are.. they can't help it. As long as the kids grow into adults who get married and have a pretty normal life, what's the harm?
Good to see the Libs suddenly become so understanding after the Kav ridiculousness.
Nobody is accusing Biden of anything like Kavanaugh was accused of. Kavanaugh tried to force himself on a girl or three. Big difference from unwanted personal space invasion and not one of these women have said a thing about feeling like he was moving on them.
