I think they lack the balls to say anything about his orange ass.

Biden wasn't born out of privilege, he's not an asshole, so they feel emboldened to attack him. It's the same with Bill Clinton, who was born working class.

Bunch of elitist spineless snobs. Biden should not give a damn what they think.

I don't care what President Biden said in the past. He did the right thing.
