BIDEN REPEATS FOOTBALL CLAIM TO WEST POINT GRADUATES AT COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS
PRESIDENT BIDEN, WEST POINT COMMENCEMENT: Americans are strongest when we lead, not only by our example of our power, but by the power of our example. You can clap for that.
ALICIA ACUNA: Miranda. Let's peel apart that statement there. I mean, what are your thoughts when you hear him say that?
MIRANDA DEVINE: Well, my first thought is that he had to ask the audience to clap him. That's pretty sad that's shades of Jeb Bush and the applause was pretty minimal, so it didn't sound like it was a very receptive audience. And look, he said, that line, he says over and over, and it's not his original line. He lifted that from Bill Clinton, when he was introducing Barack Obama back in 2008. So, as usual, Joe Biden is lifting other people's words. You know, it's sort of hollow, I think, when it comes from a man who isn't leading the world very well.
