Has Joe Biden Actually Ever Said Anything Intelligent or Badass?
Many say Joe Biden has delivered some unintelligent and misguided remarks in his political career. When has he really said something that made sense or was even remotely impressive? Let’s delve into the question of whether Biden has ever uttered any truly intelligent or badass statements.
Classic Sayings and Their Reception
When it comes to memorable and impactful quotes, Joe Biden has had his share of memorable lines, yet they often fall short in terms of being substantial or wise. Take for example, the infamous phrase, “Shut up, Man.” In response to George Borger on CNN, Biden retorted with the unladylike, “Shut the F off, Troll.
This exchange, while entertaining, does little to reflect the genuine clarity or insight of either politician. When the August 2020 Democratic National Convention debate came around, people were left wondering who made more sense, and Biden came up short in comparison to his opponent. Critics pointed out that Biden's statements were often muddled and failed to convey his points clearly.
Biden's Words Compared to Trump's
While Biden has moments of clarity, these instances are few and far between. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is known for his direct and unequivocal statements, even if some of them lack substance. Trump often delivered cutting remarks and bold claims, such as: "Barack Obama is the founder of ISIS," or his controversial statements about birth certificates. These comments, though often unverified, stood out for their raw and unfiltered nature.
Biden's statements are often mumbled or lack coherence. For instance, his assertion that 'Barack Obama is the founder of ISIS' and his claim about the 'birth certificate' of Barack Obama reveal a level of ignorance that is hard to ignore. Additionally, his declarations such as, 'You know it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass,' and 'I think Vladimir Putin is a very strong leader who takes care of his country,' speak volumes about his political and personal views.
Some Lame Attempts at Intelligence
When it comes to saying something genuinely intelligent, Biden often falls short. His occasional statements can be very unrefined and shallow. Consider the phrase, ‘If you don’t vote for me you ain’t Black!’ which, while designed to appeal to certain demographic groups, lacks substance and credibility.
Furthermore, Biden's claim of, “I don’t work for you!” can be seen more as a political ploy than a statement of strong conviction. Despite these attempts at asserting authority, the underlying message often remains misplaced and underwhelming.
Conclusion: A Day Late and a Dollar Short
The question of whether Joe Biden has ever delivered a truly intelligent or badass statement is complex. While he occasionally demonstrates moments of clarity, these instances are rare. In many respects, Bidens' words often fall flat, and his comments are frequently seen as lacking in both substance and impact. The challenge for Biden is to refine his public speaking and rhetoric to make consistent, impactful statements that resonate with the American people.
