ABC News is accused of editing Biden’s car-crash interview to avoid him seeming ‘incoherent and confused’: Transcripts from unaired segments reveal he mistakenly said his son Beau served in the Navy in Afghanistan not the Army elsewhere

ABC News has been accused of editing its Wednesday night interview with Joe Biden to flatter the president, removing mumbled statements and lapses of memory.
 
Biden’s interview with George Stephanopoulos was criticized for his claim that the chaos in Afghanistan this week was inevitable.
 
But on Thursday, when the full transcript was published by ABC, it emerged that chunks of it were edited out.
 



 
Biden falsely claimed that his son Beau, who died of a brain tumor in May 2015, aged 46, had served in Afghanistan. He then corrected himself and said it was Iraq, but he also claimed Beau was in the Navy, when in fact he was in the Army.
 
The president again had to correct himself.
 
‘Toward the end of his interview with ABC there was a telling exchange,’ said Tucker Carlson, Fox News host, on Thursday evening.
 
‘That exchange was never broadcast on camera.
 
‘Now television networks edit interviews very often for time.
 
‘But ABC News appears to have edited out portions that made Joe Biden look – how to put it. Not presidential. Incoherent. Confused.’
 
Carlson then read from the transcript.
 
Asked by Stephanopoulos why the U.S. could not have withdrawn from Afghanistan with dignity, Biden’s response was jumbled.
 
‘Look, that’s like askin’ my deceased son Beau, who spent six months in Kosovo and a year in Iraq as a Navy captain and then major– I mean, as an Army major,’ Biden said.
 
‘And, you know, I’m sure h– he had regrets comin’ out of Afganista– I mean, out of Iraq.
 

 
Biden has struggled to overcome a stutter ever since he was a boy, and has been open about the challenges of public speaking, and the decades of work he put in to improving his presentation.
 
Yet Carlson suggested that the moment was more significant than a stutter.
 
‘We think it’s worth knowing what happened, especially in a moment of national crisis,’ Carlson said.
 
‘We are not attacking him, we are not telling you this with glee – we are telling you this because it’s true.
 
‘The scary thing about Afghanistan is that it reveals American weakness. And weakness begets aggression.’
 
He said that Biden’s remarks revealed ‘weakness at the heart of government.’
 
Journalist Michael Tracey remarked: ‘Seems suspicious that ABC has only released a small fragment of video from this incredibly garbled transcript.’

ABC is perpetrating a grave disservice to the nation by trying to cover for this idiot’s incompetence. Pity Biden for being a demented old man if you want, but the fact remains he should NOT be *president and his presence in a leadership position is putting the nation and its citizens in danger. It’s also not as if the media provides Republicans the same “courtesy”. In fact, they will promote false rumors of incompetence of Republicans whenever they can. This is solely a leftist club.

This is not like trying to hide Roosevelt’s disability; being in a wheelchair didn’t diminish his mental capabilities. This is more like propping Roosevelt up after his fatal cerebral hemorrhage as if he was still Commander in Chief and awaiting his decisions.

*put in place through fraud, so not really President anyway.

Quit watching the fake news from the major fake news networks ABC Fake News Boycott their lies

Biden Navy Launches Ship Named After Child Rapist

The Biden administration launched the first U.S. Navy ship named after a known child rapist, the late San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk, in San Diego on November 6. At least one of Milk’s minor victims committed suicide after the rapes.

Milk, a notorious homosexual backed by mass-murdering Marxist cult leader Jim Jones, is often celebrated today by the LGBT movement for being the first open homosexual to serve in public office. He was shot and killed by a fellow Democrat.

Among other horrors, Milk was known to prey on boys–especially vulnerable children caught up in drugs or addiction. As his friend and biographer Randy Shilts put it, “Harvey always had a penchant for young waifs with substance abuse problems.”

One of those “young waifs” victimized by Milk was 16-year-old Jack Galen McKinley, who had run away from his home in Maryland and was desperate for a “father figure.” Instead, he found a child predator in Milk. McKinley went on to kill himself.

Harvey Milk raped kids.
The age of consent in California was 18, making Milk a child rapist by definition. Other children were also reportedly raped by Milk, who was known for and defended having multiple relationships with men and children at the same time.

Milk was also an ardent defender Jim Jones, the notorious cult leader of “Jonestown” fame who murdered almost 300 children and their parents in the jungles of Guyana.

“Rev. Jones is widely known in the minority communities here and elsewhere as a man of the highest character, who has undertaken constructive remedies for social problems which have been amazing in their scope and effectiveness,” Milk wrote to President Jimmy Carter just months before Jones ordered his followers to drink poison Kool-Aid.

Navy Secretary Del Toro celebrated the child rapist.
The new Navy ship, replenishment oiler USNS Harvey Milk, was initially commissioned under the Obama administration by then-Navy Secretary Ray Mabus. The move was celebrated by Mabus and the LGBT movement as a historic victory for homosexuals because Milk was expelled from the Navy for sodomy.

Biden Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro, who was appointed this summer, gushed over the bizarre “ceremony” when the ship was launched. He claimed Milk faced “injustice” because he had to “mask” his promiscuous homosexual lifestyle and often predatory obsession with youngsters, which Del Toro called “that very important part of his life.”

“The secretary of the Navy needed to be here today, not just to amend the wrongs of the past, but to give inspiration to all of our LGBTQ community leaders who served in the Navy, in uniform today and in the civilian workforce as well too, and to tell them that we’re committed to them in the future,” Del Toro said.

“Ship names are important because they express what we value as a Navy and as a nation and communicate those values around the globe in every port of call,” added the current Navy Secretary, who reportedly congratulated Obama Navy Secretary Mabus for his “courageous” decision during the ceremony.

Milk, who was elected with help from Jones’ Marxist cult, also received a posthumous “Medal of Freedom” from Obama. His picture was even put on a postage stamp, sparking outrage and disgust by Christians and child advocates.

California and other states, meanwhile, now routinely teach children in government schools that Milk was a hero and a martyr for the LGBT cause, without mentioning his proclivity for raping children or the fact that his murder by a fellow Democrat had nothing to do with his perversion.

As Selwyn Duke wrote at The New American magazine when the ship was first commissioned, “when we’re naming Navy vessels after pederastic rapists, we have to wonder for how much longer the good ship America can stay afloat.”

The Obama and Biden administrations have disgraced their nation and its armed forces by honoring a vile criminal in this way. Unfortunately, that may have been the point.

Forcing sailors to serve on such a disgusting monument to degeneracy is cruel and unusual punishment. The entire crew should be volunteer only. Only Democrats can conceive of such an embarrassing insult to the Navy and entire armed forces.
