Biden compares GOP budget hawks to rape apologists

This is the Vice President of the United States talking. Keep that in mind.

In setting up his comparison, the vice president explained to the audience that before the Violence Against Women Act that he championed was passed into law, “there was this attitude in our society of blaming the victim,” according to a press pool account of the event.

“When a woman got raped, blame her because she was wearing a skirt too short, she looked the wrong way or she wasn’t home in time to make the dinner,” Biden said.

“We’ve gotten by that,” he said. “But it’s amazing how these Republicans, the right wing of this party – whose philosophy threw us into this God-awful hole we’re in, gave us the tremendous deficit we’ve inherited – that they’re  now using, now attempting to use, the very economic condition they have created to blame the victim – whether it’s organized labor or ordinary middle-class working men and women. It’s bizarre. It’s bizarre.”

It is bizarre to have VPOTUS who, along with his boss, run up the national debt to beyond sustainable levels, then turn and compare the opposition party to rape apologists because they’re trying to fix the problem. Bizarre indeed. And repugnant, and disgusting as well.
