How…interesting.

Biden’s been on a roll lately.

Of course, it’s no secret that he has made a career out of capitulation to the right wing under the guise of bipartisanship at the expense of the American people over the last fifty years. That said, recent events regarding the Supreme Court and the fact that he is discussing his future Supreme Court nominee with Mitch McConnell, a man who denied a pick to the administration he was a part of for eight years takes it to a frankly humiliating, infuriating level. But, leave it to Joe Biden to take it one step further.

In recent on-camera comments at the National Prayer Breakfast following the news that he was discussing his future nominee with McConnell, Biden said:

“Mitch, I don’t wanna hurt your reputation, but we really are friends…You’ve always done exactly what you’ve said. You’re a man of your word. And you’re a man of honor. Thank you for being my friend.”

How utterly revolting.

“You’re a man of honor…Thank you for being my friend…”
