Not only corrupt but seemingly insane too.

 

Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared to fumble Monday while attempting to recite part of the Declaration of Independence during a speech in Texas.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women are created, by the, you know, you know the thing,” Biden said.

The actual line is: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Later in the speech, Biden mistook “Super Tuesday” for “Super Thursday.”

Biden has long been known for his gaffes during speeches. Last week Biden accidentally told supporters he was a Democratic candidate for the “United States Senate.”

But Monday’s flub came amid a major boost in Biden’s campaign for the 2020 presidential election. Following his victory in the South Carolina Democratic primary on Saturday, Biden earned endorsements from fellow rivals Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg after they dropped out from the race.

Both Buttigieg and Klobuchar are expected to join Biden at a rally in Texas Monday night, the Dallas Morning News reported.

The Democratic Party’s moderate wing has been coalescing around Biden out of fear that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a polarizing progressive, was positioned to seize a significant delegate lead on Super Tuesday.

Scary-

In a surprise moment at the end of his Dallas rally on the eve of Super Tuesday, former Vice President Joe Biden called former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke up to the stage -- and vowed to put O'Rourke, who has said the government should forcibly seize assault rifles from Americans, in charge of gun-control efforts.

Also at the rally, Biden accepted the endorsements of onetime rivals Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, as the Democratic party's moderate wing rallied behind Biden to challenge anti-establishment frontrunner and self-described "democratic socialist" Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow, March 3, 2020, I will be casting my ballot for Joe Biden," O'Rourke announced to applause at the rally's conclusion.

O'Rourke called President Trump an "existential threat" to "free and fair elections," and urged rally goers to view Biden as the "antithesis of Donald Trump," someone who is "decent, kind, caring, and empathetic."

Biden, taking the microphone after O'Rourke spoke, then announced, "I want to make something clear -- I'm gonna guarantee you, this is not the last you're seeing of this guy -- you're gonna take care of the gun problem with me, you're gonna be the one who leads this effort. I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you, we need you badly."

O'Rourke has previously said he would like to seize all Americans' AR-15 assault rifles, promising: "Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47," at a Democratic primary debate last year, shortly before his campaign collapsed.

"Yikes," remarked Trump campaign spokesman Andrew Clark.

"Joe Biden promises Beto O'Rourke, who pushed for gun confiscation for legal gun owners, will 'be the one who leads' his gun control effort," observed GOP Rapid Response Director Steve Guest. "2020 Democrats are unambiguous about their anti-Second Amendment agenda."

Wrote NBC News' Benjy Sarlin: "Biden hugging Beto going 'You’re going to take care of the gun problem for me!' is a thing you will see in a Republican ad someday."

The moment was yet another headache for Biden as he struggles to appeal to gun owners. Last week, he bizarrely declared that "150 million" Americans -- approximately half the country -- had died due to gun violence since 2007.

Commenting on former Vice President Joe Biden’s big Super Tuesday showing, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume said that Democrats have decided that Biden represents a “safe bet” in taking on President Donald Trump.

But for one telling factor — he’s an “iffy candidate” who may not be in his right mind.

This coming as Biden stood on stage Tuesday night and introduced his wife as his little sister and his sister as his wife.

“Biden is capable of saying the most remarkable things and he has kind of gotten by with it lo these many years,” Hume said, noting that if Biden is the nominee and has a “horrible gaffe” or forgets where he is “at the absolute wrong moment,” it could prove to be critical.

Scary-

Biden was in St. Louis on Saturday and while he only spoke for 10 minutes, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, he appeared confused at times, struggling to maintain his train of thought while making one gaffe after another and was slurring his words throughout.

But the culmination of the embarrassing performance was when he called himself an Obiden-Bama Democrat, as opposed to an Obama-Biden Democrat.

Running on the idea of restoring “dignity and honor” to the White House, there was nothing dignified about Biden’s struggles Saturday.

In a clip the Trump campaign was quick to capitalize on, Biden stumbles badly as he says, “Turn this primary from a campaign which is about negative attacks to one that’s about what we’re for. We cannot get re-elect — we cannot win this re-election, excuse me. We can only re-elect Donald Trump.”
