Out Fox host Tammy Bruce was aghast that President Joe Biden suggested that Donald Trump lacks “decency” because of how he mocks people, including people with disabilities.
Former President Jimmy Carter passed away this past weekend, and Biden was asked by reporters what Trump could learn from Carter.
“Decency, decency, decency,” Biden responded. “Can you imagine Jimmy Carter referring to someone by the way they look or the way they talk? I can’t.”
Trump has a history of belittling people he disagrees with, including mocking reporter Serge Kovaleski, who has arthrogryposis, for being disabled.
Biden’s comment apparently struck a nerve with Bruce, who had a meltdown on Monday’s Outnumbered on Fox News.
“It’s a shame and it’s embarrassing for Joe Biden. He had that gritted teeth thing that he does,” she said, referring to what others may call a “smile.”
“We know, for 50 years, Joe Biden has been a jerk,” she said. “So perhaps he should take some of his own advice with what’s happened to this country. It was an opportunity – as President Trump, I think, illustrated – to be generous, right? Be generous.”
“The American people have made their decision, we’re all Americans, we’re moving forward, we will disagree politically and philosophically. It’s just a remarkable and a shameful thing to watch, but it is classic Biden.”
“This is what we’ve been seeing and it’s partly what the American people don’t like. You might not agree with Trump’s style, but Biden is presented as being as he was the unifier and the nice guy. You know, Scranton Joe. And he’s mean and he’s a bully. And it’s a shame and it’s embarrassing and it’s unfortunate.”
