Elizabeth Warren Says Joe Biden Has Been ‘Credible and Convincing,’ Infuriating the Berners

Rumored VP hopeful Elizabeth Warren is apparently done with believing all women, says Joe Biden’s answers to sexual assault allegations “were credible and convincing.”

For anyone wondering where Sen. Elizabeth Warren stood on the sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden, she cleared the air on Monday by stating she believed him.

A month ago, former Biden Senate staffer Tara Reade alleged that he sexually assaulted her in 1993. Last Friday, he denied Reade’s claims on MSNBC.

Warren said yesterday Biden’s answers to the questions posed to him by Biden supporters Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were “credible and convincing:”

“I saw the reports of what Ms. Reade said, I saw an interview with Vice President Biden. I appreciate that the vice president took a lot of questions, tough questions. And he answered them directly and respectfully,” Warren said, according to Fox News and a CNN reporter.

“The vice president’s answers were credible and convincing,” she added.

[…]

“I support the vice president, I support his campaign, and I’m proud to endorse him for president,” she said.

Warren endorsed the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee last month. When asked by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow at the time if she would accept Biden’s offer to be his running mate if he asked her to, Warren’s answer was “yes:”

Like the other female vice-presidential possibilities who have done 180s when it comes to believing and supporting all women, Warren’s answer was not a complete shock. But still, some contrasts between her then-vs.-now positions were warranted:

Here’s Warren, a year to the day after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford first testified against Kavanaugh:

Some Bernie Sanders diehards, also known as “Bernie Bros” or “Berners,” were absolutely furious with Warren’s politically convenient about-face:

The most prominent among them was Sanders’ former national press secretary Briahna Joy Gray, who posted these tweets after reports broke of Warren’s stance on Biden:

She also retweeted this tweet, which highlighted how Warren used to feel about believing all women before she became a rumored vice presidential hopeful:

The irony of that clip is that it is a reminder of how Warren torpedoed Michael Bloomberg’s campaign, in part, by striking him on the non-disclosure agreements he had with former female employees. Taking him out of the picture paved the way for Biden’s campaign to come out of the slump it was in and surge on to clear primary victories on Super Tuesday and beyond.

Here we are two months later, and now Biden is refusing to have the University of Delaware unseal his Senate papers.

With that in mind, will Warren demand Biden give the okay to unseal those papers, just as she did with Bloomberg over the NDAs and then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh over documents related to his government service?

It is not going to happen.

So what are we to conclude from Warren’s flip-floppery? Nothing we didn’t already know about her, but Legal Insurrection’s Mike LaChance summed it up best:

Indeed.

This form someone with no credibility and isn’t convincing.

Question, gravely asked, “Joe, is it true?”

Gravely answered, “No.”

“Okay, I’m convinced.”

    You forgot joe’s favorite conversation ender: “Period. Period.”

    That question and answer reminded me of another famous charade,

    Kay: Michael, is it true? [re: Carlo]
    Michael: Don’t ask me about my business, Kay.
    Kay: Is it true?
    Michael: Don’t ask me about my business…
    Kay: No.
    Michael: Enough! All right. This one time, this one time I’ll let you ask me about my affairs.
    Kay: Is it true? Is it?
    Michael: No.

      I just watched that in my prison cell here in Michigan lockdown. What a great movie. So many great lines. At least Whitmer hasn’t taken our DVD’s away from us. Yet.

Meh. While some Berniebros will not vote for Biden, the prospect of giving Democrats the power to turn the US into a Communist hellhole will tip the scale in Biden’s favor for most of them to hold their noses.

And for the refuseniks – if they live in a deep blue state the Berniebros’ votes for Biden will be cast anyway (likely multiple times).

Well, ‘fraud’ is the one distinctive characteristic for Elizabeth Warren.

Warren says, “Joe Biden has been credible and convincing.”

Ha ha ha! That’s hardly a credible statement coming from a person who falsely claimed to be an Indian. “When I was a little girl My Mamma told me I was an Indian. I never thought to ask for documentation when she talked about that. What kid would?” So here we have an undocumented Indian lending credibility to Joe Biden. My goodness! He will choose her to be his running mate for sure now.

    Lizzie, your mom called and stated she said
    “Its IN THE DEN!”

    Geesh! Clean the wax out of your ears……

Fauxcahontas is a whore. She sells her soul to whoever pays.

I think Biden is credible because of the way women work, not because of Biden.

    Some women do think like that, it’s true.

    Feminazi fatties, uglies and generally sexually frustrated have set up a terror system to destroy the lives of men and women they are jealous of.

    Ride the wind, reap the whirlwind.

“She is an utter fraud.”

LOL. Well, yeah. She always has been. It’s pretty much her defining characteristic. The people who are just now noticing that have either been willfully blind for years, or are just plain stupid.

I wonder if Biden believes that Warren is really Pocahontas, it’s probably a Quid Pro Quo deal that Biden remembers from the 1860’s.

Credible and convincing like you, Lie-a-watha.

Coming from a woman that is anything but. I am embarrassed for my state, but then again, I have the Kennedy crime family, Kerry, Frank etc, etc….

For a progressive evaluating the credibility of another progressive,1 in 1024 = absolute credibility. (Especially if they want to be VP in a dementia patient’s administration.)

SuddenlyHappyToBeHere | May 6, 2020 at 11:15 am

Puleeze, Joe, add this woman to your ticket. Seriously. iz Warren is loathed by an awful lot of folks. She’d be an albatross hung on Joe’s neck
