In the months since Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race and was replaced by Kamala Harris, Democrats have tried to present a unified front to the world. Judging by a seemingly tense exchange that just took place between Biden and Barack Obama, however, it seems that there may be some trouble in paradise.
Many have theorized that Biden was forced to drop out of the presidential race by the Democrat establishment. Obama is not only a member of this group, he’s widely seen as one of the leaders. They reportedly lost confidence in Biden’s abilities after he was trounced by Donald Trump in their June debate.
Biden and Obama reunited earlier this week at the funeral of Ethel Kennedy. This marked the first time that they were seen in public together since Biden dropped out of the race. The pair were caught on camera having what looked to be an intense conversation. Obama had his arms crossed and was shaking his head at times. At one point, Biden even reached out to grab Obama by the arm.
The professional lip reader Jeremy Freeman has since spoken out to reveal what he thinks was being said after reading each of their lips. While Freeman could not see the entire conversation, what he managed to translate was very telling.
From Daily Mail:
According to the lipreader, early in the conversation Biden said to Obama: ‘She’s not as strong as me.’Obama replied: ‘I know…that’s true…we have time.’
Obama then said to Biden: ‘No that’s not on’ – to which Biden responded: ‘Hmm.’
The former president added: ‘I think it’s important that we can have some time together, we’ll take it at value.’
Biden appeared to back his predecessor up, saying: ‘Yeah, we’ll get there in time.’
Obama then turned away from the camera and said something else to Biden, to which the president responded: ‘Uh huh.’
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who the “she” is that they were likely talking about.
Trouble In Paradise
Biden has tried to make it look as if he is completely supportive of Harris in public. Privately, however, it appears that he may have some concerns.
Perhaps even Biden’s own apparent mental decline hasn’t been enough to prevent him from seeing what a failure Harris has been as vice president. Indeed, it’s seemed as if Biden has never been able to count on her to get a single thing done. One of the main things that he put Harris in charge of as vice president was tackling the border crisis, making her his “border czar.”
Just look at how that turned out. The border crisis is worse than ever and has become widely seen as one of Biden and Harris’ biggest failures.
It also appears that Biden may still hold some bitterness about having to drop out of the race. It wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Biden had been hoping that Obama would have his back when it came to the pressure from the rest of the Democrat establishment to drop out. Instead, Obama was seemingly leading the charge against Biden.
No wonder things got so tense at this funeral!
In the end, this exchange serves as a major indication that all may not be well behind the scenes within the Democratic Party. Don’t fall for their nonsense, as they aren’t nearly as unified as they would have you believe.
