Showing Original Post only (View all)Biden takes responsibility for Trump's victory: 'I was in charge and he won' [View all]
Former President Joe Biden said he takes responsibility for Donald Trumps return to the White House and accused his successor of failing to protect the interests of the country.
Sitting for his first live television interview since leaving office, Biden was asked on The View if he felt responsible for Trumps victory.
Yes, I do, because, look, I was in charge and he won, so I take responsibility, Biden said.
Offering an assessment of Trumps return to power, Biden said his successor has done, quite frankly, a very poor job in the interest of the United States of America.
I think, you know, the greatest alliance in the history of the world is NATO, not a joke, and hes blown it up, he said. Hes had the worst 100 days any president has ever had.

Why that question? Why is he responsible? That doesn't make sense to me considering the media hit job.

Given that he is the only president to withdraw that close to the election, it's a fair question

Imagine that, a president willing to take responsibility for things that happened under his watch.

I acknowledge that Joe is a stand up kind of guy, but I can't blame him for Dump's win.

I think well meaning folks engage in "if only he had realized he had a problem..." I know I did.

My point is that it's Republicans who claim that everything bad is Democrats fault.
