This week’s Liberal Media Scream features the liberals cooing over Joe Biden’s put-down of an Iowa farmer who pressed the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate about his son’s work in Ukraine.
The incident occurred on the campaign trail last week, when the farmer, quoting what he had seen on TV, said Biden helped his son get work while he was vice president.
“So, you’re selling access to the president just like he was,” he said, to which Biden barked, “You’re a damn liar, man. That’s not true. And no one has ever said that; no one has proved that.”
Well, liberals who like Biden have praised his angry response.
On Friday’s The View, Joy Behar cheered, “Joe Biden showed he can take the gloves off.”
Ana Navaro declared: “I’m glad he’s getting some practice calling out damn lies because if he wins the primary, he’s going to be running against a damn liar!”
Sunny Hostin related her reaction as a parent, asserting that, “You talk about my kids, and you’re going to get the wrath of Khan!”
One woman told NPR that she was “so disappointed in Biden … He sounded like Donald Trump in that clip.”
Biden wholly dismissed that comparison: “Donald Trump, he makes fun of people. He belittles people. He lies. I don’t do any of those things.” https://t.co/mkQOXCky98

From the Dec. 6 episode of The View on ABC:
Joy Behar: “It’s no more sleepy Joe, Donald!”
Ana Navarro: “I loved it. I really did. I have known Joe Biden for a long time, and this is Joe Biden. He is scrapping Joe Biden from Scranton. He’s going to need to be able to do this. The truth is, I’m glad he’s getting some practice calling out damn lies because if he wins the primary, he’s going to be running against a damn liar!”
Sunny Hostin: “I liked it as well. I think any parent that’s out there knows what was going on because I’m known as being very measured as a person and on this show. But you talk about my kids, and you’re going to get the wrath of Khan.”
Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our weekly pick: “Such treatment by President Trump of an attendee at campaign rally surely would have generated indignant disgust from the ladies of The View appalled by such boorish behavior. But Biden is their guy, so they cheered him on, showing that it matters more which side of Trump divide you reside than maintaining consistency.”
Rating: Three out of five screams.
