Joe Biden, whose brain malfunctions severely anytime he thinks about drugs, did not disappoint during Sundayâs Democratic Presidential Debate. When asked about his shifting support for a fence along the Mexican border, Biden had this to say:
Well, that fence -- the reason I voted for the fence was that was the only alternative that was there, and I voted for the fence related to drugs. You can -- a fence will stop 20 kilos of cocaine coming through that fence. It will not stop someone climbing over it or around it.
And so -- but this bill has a much more reasonable provision in it. It has much -- much shorter fence, it does have the Border Patrol requirement, and it is designed not just to deal with illegals; it's designed -- a serious drug trafficking problem we have.
In case youâre unfamiliar with Biden, understand that he is not suffering from a stroke.* This guy just has a really hard time understanding drugs, but continues to bring them up whenever heâs under pressure. Bidenâs unfortunate obsession/confusion regarding drugs has led him to create ONDCP, author the RAVE Act, and propose biological warfare in South America.
So does Biden dramatically misunderstand the role of actual people in physically transporting cocaine across the border? Is it really necessary to explain that some of the people who climb over or around the fence carry cocaine with them? Does he know that 20 kilos fits in a backpack?
Whether Biden realizes the absurdity of his remarks is beside the point. He got cornered for flip-flopping on the fence issue, so he cried âDrugs! If my positions appear contradictory, itâs because I was trying to fight drugs.â Thatâs what he does, because he knows thereâs no accountability when you talk about âDrugs!â
*No offense to stroke victims. Iâm not really comparing you to Joe Biden.
