However, if you read the right wing source being used, besides the disparaging remarks, they also mentioned he changed the venue out of respect for the communities concerns of launching a campaign where that tragedy occurred:

"Aides to Biden had briefed journalists about the plan for Wednesday, which liberal activist groups in Charlottesville told the Washington Examiner had prompted opposition, with some residents unhappy about the scene a tragedy the city would prefer to forget being used as a campaign launch backdrop.

Personally, I think this presents Joe in a good light, because he is listening to the concerns of the community, and is sensitive to them.

The "Biden detractors", will be coming out of the wood work to criticize anything Joe does, whether it makes sense or not.

and if he takes a big lead in the polls after his announcement, I fully expect it to get very ugly

For that reason, I will probably be spending more time here when discussing the primaries.

It reminds me of the attacks used against Hillary, and prompted Rachel Maddow to make the comment at the time that if Hillary discovered the cure for cancer, they Hillary haters would come up with come reason to be critical of it.

Biden will handle this quite well. I remember his debates against Palin and Ryan. This is not new for him.

However, the attacks will get quite ugly
