Biden Falsely Claims He Never Criticized the Tea Party (The Washington Free Beacon)

Vice President Joe Biden falsely claimed in an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on Tuesday that he had never insulted or denigrated the tea party.

Matthews asked Biden why Democrats had not been fighting on issues like immigration, trade, and foreign wars, which Donald Trump used to rally supporters in the Republican primary.

“You never heard me criticize the tea party. The reason I didn’t is because a lot of people are scared, beat up, and they lost a lot,” Biden said.
