No surprise. The Democratic Party/Leftist establishment, for which the cardboard cutout of Joe Biden serves as a kind of semblance of a spokesman, is indefatigably committed to the falsehood that Islam is a religion of peace that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. Accordingly, it is impossible for the people who are speaking for Biden to acknowledge a bloody jihad massacre on American soil. What’s more, for Biden’s handlers to admit that the attack at the Pulse Nightclub was a jihad attack would draw attention to the fact that this attack happened on the Obama/Biden watch, when we are supposed to believe that all was well until January 20, 2017.
What’s more, there are the still-unanswered questions about how Seddique Mateen, the father of the Pulse Nightclub jihad mass murderer Omar Mateen, ended up after the attack getting a plumb position at a Hillary Clinton rally, seated behind the candidate so that he showed up prominently in TV coverage of the event.
“Joe Biden Omits Radical Islam in Statement on Pulse Nightclub Shooting Anniversary,” by Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart, June 12, 2020:
Former Vice President Joe Biden issued a statement Friday to mark the fourth anniversary of the Pulse night club shooting in Orlando, Florida, leaving out the fact that the perpetrator was a radical Islamist loyal to the so-called “Islamic State.”
Omar Mateen, 29, killed 49 people and wounded 68 at the Pulse on June 12, 2016, in what was then the worst mass shooting event in American history. He pledged his allegiance to ISIS “caliph” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in the course of the attack.
However, the left has since obscured the motives of the murder. The LGBTQ community has claimed it was a homophobic hate crime, even though investigators concluded Mateen had not known the Pulse was a gay night club when he targeted it.
President Barack Obama called it an act of “terror” at the time, but the media and the Democrats obscured the connection to ISIS, in keeping with the standards of political correctness encouraged by the Obama administration for eight years.
Biden’s statement was in keeping with that practice of obscuring the role of the Islamic State, or radical Islam in general. Instead, he attempted to link the Pulse shooting with shootings by white supremacists, and gun violence in general, blaming Republicans:
Four years ago, as members of the LGBTQ+ community were gathered together for “Latin Night” at Pulse nightclub during Pride Month, a terrorist armed with a semi-automatic rifle opened fire. He killed 49 innocent people and injured many more — at the time, the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman. And still today, it remains the deadliest attack on the LGBTQ+ community in American history.
Sadly, all these years later, terrorism, mass shootings, and hate crimes continue to rip apart our American communities. Our places of worship have been attacked, Hispanics have been targeted in places like El Paso, the death toll from mass shootings continues to mount, and LGBTQ+ people, particularly transgender women of color, are disproportionately targeted by violence…..

had he written this himself, we would all understand. Joe is not quite there…

First of all, just look at that stare by Biden in the photo above. I say it has the look of a person in the early stages of dementia. And I don’t mean to be cruel here, only accurate. The fact that he can’t string two or three coherent sentences together, as demonstrated numerous times over just the past few months on national TV, only confirms all the more that senility is settling in with him.
Second, Joe Biden knows virtually nothing about Islam. I remember several years ago when Ayaan Hirsi Ali was trying to convey to Biden what Islam really stands for, he interrupted her and said, and I quote, “Let me tell you something about Islam.” OK, you can choose between Hirsi Ali or Biden for accurate information about Islam. Whom are you choosing?

Wellington says,
Even without the benefit of my being able to perform a basic “mental status” exam on “Sleepy Joe”, I would say that he is very likely in the early stages of dementia.
He has a “reduced gaze” as well as difficulty forming coherent sentences. This was really not true – even just a few years ago.
The 2020 Presidential Election is still five months away and I believe that he will continue to get worse.
Can you imagine him surviving a tough debate with Pres. Trump?
The Democrats are cruel to put him into this position – and the country is so crazy right now that there is a slight possibility that he could actually get elected.
A frightening thought to say the least…
Kepha says
He’ll name HRC as his running mate, make the right noises, lock down key constituencies, and then be eclared unfit right after inauguration.

Grimly right on both counts, Wellington.

It seems to me that someone is setting Biden up as a puppet, aiming for him to hold office but not power. Living in a blue state as I do, I’m concerned that it may come to pass.

LOL! OK, Joe…gun control will sure win you votes. Even Democrats are buying guns now! You guys are abolishing police as you approve of (literal) anarchy in the streets, allow BLM and Antifa to loot and destroy private property and assault anyone they like without consequence, and are releasing convicted violent prisoners! WTF are you smoking? Guns are all we have to keep ourselves and families alive and remotely safe! Voting Democrat is like sheep voting for wolves.
Sir Cumference says
Groping Joe and the rest of the DemocRAT ilk want to disband the police. If they do that, then just who do they think will take away our guns?

Joe Biden issues statement on anniversary of Orlando jihad massacre, mum about Islamic motive of jihad mass murderer
…………………
Does he not know, not care, or is he deliberately omitting the fact that this was Jihad? Dangerous, in any case.

Democrats: There is institutional racism everywhere in the USA. Now please show your support by voting for our segregationist candidate in November.
As long as the democrat party exists we will need our guns and the police. Get rid of them all and we can talk about cutting the budgets of police departments. Without democrats we wont need nearly as many police officers.

tgusa says,
“Democrats: There is institutional racism everywhere in the USA.”
On that basis, no one would want to emigrate from their current country to the United States.
In actuality, as you well know, the reverse is true…
Sir Cumference says
Old senile women-groping, hair-sniffing, little girl fondling Biden thinks jihad is a salad dressing.
Watch Groping Joe fondling young girl. And the DemocRATs want to put this pedophile in the WH. Pass this on, everyone needs to see what a creep Groping Joe is.

FAKE Biden suites the democrats but NOT America.
Giacomo Latta says
I’ve seen that look before; it was on the face of Leonid Brezhnev. Perhaps the US is headed for a Biden Stagnation.
No Muzzies Here says
It should be obvious that Biden and Hillary both are in love with the Islamists, not for their ideology, but for their monetary support and their votes. Both are eager to betray their country in order to get into power.
OLD GUY says
Poor Joe I truly feel sorry for him and his family who are going to go through a vary hard time with his mental problems. On the other hand I also understand the lefts love affair with muslim contributors to their campaigns. It should be illegal for foreign individuals or organizations to contribute to political campaigns period.
