What is Joe trying to say here?
Former vice president Joe Biden asked an audience at New Hampshire on Friday to imagine what would have happened “if, God forbid, Barack Obama had been assassinated” after winning the 2008 Democratic primary.
Biden, speaking at Dartmouth College in Hanover, was comparing Obama to Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated by Palestinian radical Sirhan Sirhan on June 6, 1968, mere moments after winning the California Democratic Primary, virtually assuring him the party’s nomination.
He also drew parallels to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on April 4, 1968.
According to the New York Times, Biden’s full quote was as follows:
I think of where we are at the moment. You know, none of you men are old — women are old enough, but a couple of you guys are old enough to remember. I graduated in 1968. Everybody before me was, drop out, go to Haight-Ashbury, don’t trust anybody over 30, everybody not getting involved. I’m serious, I know no woman will shake their head and acknowledge it, but you guys know what I’m talking about. Right? But then what happened? Dr. Ki— I only have two political heroes. I have one hero who was my dad, but I have two political heroes were Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy. My senior semester they were both shot and killed. Imagine what would have happened if, God forbid, Barack Obama had been assassinated after becoming the de facto nominee. What would have happened in America?
Biden also compared the eassassinations of Kennedy and King to the election of President Donald Trump in 2016 in terms of the effect those events had on inspiring left-wing activists.
“Unless I’m mistaken, Donald Trump did for your generation what the loss of two of my heroes did for mine,” he said, according to the Times, adding, “What they did was make you realize, my God, we’re in trouble.”
Biden also came under criticism Friday for a gaffe in which he accidentally said his health care policy would not offer quality.

Biden is a delusional, Dementia addled moron….period!
Why was he bringing this up anyway? The guy is screwed up in the head. He believes Obama did no wrong when there were scandals all over the place. Obama controlled the press so he got very few bad articles accusing his minions of wrong doing when in actuality it was rampant including Biden himself!
obama controlled and corrupted EVERYTHING and we’re all suffering for that to THIS DAY. bad man, still. HE was NEVER MY PRESIDENT, but i didn’t whine and scream every single day even tho i knew what kind of a man he was from THE FIRST DAY i saw him.
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT PRESIDENT TRUMP. HE LOVES AMERICA, and that is what matters to me. nothing else. i trust him and every thing he has accomplished, he has accomplished with little to no support from his own party, and from 24/7 lambasting from the RATS. they have no morals, no conscience, and are lawless, so if PRESIDENT TRUMP wins, we all have to be careful b/c we are dealing with heathens. they hate trump because THEY ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE, and he’s uncovering just how deep and wide the corruption actually is.
THANKS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA … MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD MEMBER, HATER OF AMERICA.
Nan, you couldn’t be more right…the man was determined to destroy America and he tried. The mess he made was horrific and Noe we have a President that loves this country and is doing everything to fix the mess that Barry Ovomit made of it. Despite all the issues that Trump has fought thru I feel that Ovomit thinks he is still in charge and for all we know he is behind the border invasion, the big mouth anti-sematic Omar and her group. They are taking orders from him and someone needs to do away with him. I have no interest in Ovomit and Michael but they both can’t understand that they have no say and no one wants to hear their mouths. Biden is another. This man is off his rocker and needs to be in a mental institute.
Amen you are 100% correct. God bless President Trump God bless America Trump 2020.
Good post Non. Agree completely.
…WHY he brings this up????
In a sick way, in an amateurish way…he is clearly laying the foundation…a foundation for the sick idiots who would clearly think more about assassinating someone …now during the 2020 campaign…
He is actually putting IDEAS in the head of an assassin…he is running behind so far he needs to eliminate the obvious potential winners….
This is a sick man…this is a dangerous man…and he wants us to look at our choices (and they aren’t Biden) and believe they are at risk and maybe we should not risk voting for the…
So…they choose HIM (Biden)…rather than their choice.
I tell you folks…THIS IS A VERY SICK AND DANGEROUS MAN! He is as dangerous, or more so, of those who carry extreme anger and hate and who plan major and dangerous behaviors against normal America.
He is a stupid, careless, SICK and DANGEROUS person…and will do anything to win this election as his last “Hurrah”.
Bless his heart-I feel ‘sorry’ for Joe! Even his wife-attempting, to promote him, stated that ‘We should just swallow hard & support him in his “4th?”-quest for the Presidency! Obama9like who cares about him)-would not endorse Joe! Yet, the “Dims’-have chosen Joe to be ‘the Challenger to Trump! WOW! Thanks-‘Dim’ Party!
Biden is one dumb ass motherfucker. The asshole has shit for brains. No intelligent person will vote for this SOB.
Crazy Uncle Joe gets nuttier all the time. It might be time for an memory care unit rather than the next ‘debate’. They are not really debates so much as they are contests to see who can give away the most free stuff and violate our Constitution the most. Very sad that Democrats do not care what is good for this country and it’s people.
Well had that happened to Obama our country would have been better off because anyone would have been better than obummer.
If ANYONE else brought up this subject of “Assassination”, they would be reprimanded seriously. To ME, THIS being brought up by former VP Joe Biden, who is presently campaigning for the office in 2020,makes the point of even bringing the subject up, very questionable. If you read the article. realizing the way things are in our present political scene, you can visualize it being read by a “disturbed” anti-THIS and anti-THAT or a “deranged” politician or everyday party member who may also be convinced he or she might get their 15 minute of fame if they do what the message may or may not suggest. I do believe, presently, that MR. Biden is unable to realize what THIS means, because of his many gaffes when speaking.
Biden needs a straight jacket and padded room.
Mr. Biden is one sick cookie. He just lie down, close his eyes, and forget about trying for president. I am 86 and Irish, and retired at 72 taking care of veterans for 36 years and 14 more years in public hospitals. Forgetful? No, the good LORD has been kind. 50 years was wonderful. He just needs to retire.
If you want an answer Joe, we might be better off.
Biden , go retire
BIRDEN AND ALL THE REST RUNNING ON THE DEMOCRAT TICKET BELIEVE IN OPEN BORDERS, FREE FLOWING OF DOPE, AND ILLEGALS INTO THE USA. I WONDER HOW MANY IN WASHINGTON A RUNNING FOR ELECTIONS IS ON THE CARTELS PAYROLL, AN ON DRUGS,
IT IS TIME THAT WE HAD MANADATORY DRUG TESTING AND AUDITING FOR ALL POLITICIANS AND GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.
BIDEN CLEARLY HS COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT. HIS MEMORY, SPEECH, REASONING ARE ALL IMPAIRED. HE IS NOT FIT FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES.
