"Joe Biden did not tell Susan Bro, Heather Heyer’s mother, that he would be invoking her daughter’s murder in Charlottesville in August 2017..."

"... in his presidential campaign launch video focusing on 'the battle for the soul' of America. 'But I wasn’t surprised,' Bro, co-founder of the Heather Heyer Foundation set up in her daughter’s memory, told The Daily Beast. 'Most people do that sort of thing. They capitalize on whatever situation is handy. He didn’t reach out to me, and didn’t mention her by name specifically, and he probably knew we don’t endorse candidates.... It’s been almost two years since Heather died. I’m moving forward. I still grieve for my daughter. But I have a realistic understanding that this was a public event, and people will use it however it suits them. It’s just a fact of life.'"

Biden is the penultimate opportunist. He will save us from white supremacy. Yep. Absolutely. Thank God he’s in the race. I can sleep at night. The Republic is safe.

For lying about what Trump said and seeking to stir up racial animosity for his own personal benefit, Biden now should be called Despicable Joe.

For years, Biden basically has been excused by the media because he was a loyal democrat. I'm sure they view him as a dumb windbag. Now, there is an interesting situation. He probably has about a 20% chance of being elected president. The D's and the media don't want him. The "fine people" lie is sitting there to take him down, but the D's and media won't use it because they want to continue to use some version of the same lie against Trump. They will find something else and bring Biden down. But his conduct truly is despicable. He is dumb, but not so dumb that he must know his "fine people" hoax is a lie.

Heck of a start, Joe!

Susan Bro seems to possess a wisdom that defies secular sectarianism.

Never mind what we of the deplorable commentariat have to say about Biden. Wait for what the other n-1 Dem candidates have to say. I do not expect bouquets.

Biden's lie is an important lie and must remain in place until it becomes accepted fact.

Biden did contact Anita Hill to express his regrets for 1991

But she spurned his little white lies.

If Potus did something like that, the media would be screaming.

Biden is going to spend his campaign apologizing and groveling. Mitt Romney should be a good sounding board for him.

When he failed to believe her lies.

"Biden is the penultimate opportunist."

Does that mean he's next in line?

Clarence Thomas’ conduct since 1991 really hurts Hill’s credibility.

Was she really murdered? It seemed more like manslaughter to me. But I wasn't there.

Joe wanted to do the roll out in Charlottsville, but Charlottsiville said no. Reopening old wounds.

Is this a big fuckin’ deal?

I'm sure the convenience store clerk/owner vote is sewn up.

Why would Biden apologize to Anita Hill?
Seems like it should be Clarence Thomas he should apologize to.

Me too. It's not like he was singling her out of the crowd. He was targeting the crowd.

Biden is an empty suit, and I apologize to empty suits for that comparison, since he is worse than an empty suit.

It's hard to fault Ms. Bro, who displaces her anger at her daughter's death onto Biden, but the fact is that the death was a widely reported incident that is inevitably going to be the subject of public discourse and Biden's announcement didn't mention her daughter by name or suggest the family was endorsing his candidacy. Biden was wrong to mischaracterize Trump's statement, and he was opportunistic in citing Charlottesville at all, but nobody needs Ms. Bro's permission to discuss the incident, opportunistically or not.

"Me too. It's not like he was singling her out of the crowd. He was targeting the crowd."

Wait, are we talking about the guy who was running from an Antifa Mob and hit a parked van which hit an antifa girl?

Fen বলেছেন...

"but nobody needs Ms. Bro's permission to discuss the incident, opportunistically or not."

Biden is going to use the dead girl as a campaign prop, and he doesn't even know her name.

I doubt he said anything about her when she died. But now that she is useful to him...


Fen বলেছেন...

Although she has already been used. Antifa specializes in Agitation Protests, using violence to tempt the other side into over-reacting and stepping into a PR trap. Antifa wanted a dead protestor.

So this was a case of "Ho's before Bro's"?

The degree of intimacy matters. If you want to say her name, read from her letters or diary and talk about what kind of person she was, the family should be informed and should be there.

Politicians know that. That's why when presidents talk about human interest stories in the State of the Union the people involved (or their loved ones) are always there.

If you just mention in passing that someone was killed, does that require the same treatment? Ideally maybe, but it can't be expected or assumed.

Timing also matters. The closer the event is to the politician's mentioning it, the more the family ought to be there, but if a partisan political announcement is close enough in time to an unfortunate event, is it really seemly to mention it, let alone haul out the parents?

Never heard of an empty suit that'll grab the pretty girls and smell their hair.
