Biden Finds a Way To Trash Rush Limbaugh, 'Conservative Blonde Woman' Over Gov't Shutdown
Liberals often reveal themselves to be hypocrites for the various standards they set for conservatives that don’t seem to apply to themselves. Now, we have yet another example of that and this time it stems from former vice president and Democratic gaffe machine Joe Biden.
In a Twitter post on Saturday, CNN’s Jim Acosta gave a taste of what happened, without highlighting the sexism involved.
Bear in mind that Biden continues to be a top candidate among Democratic polls for prospective 2020 presidential candidates.
Biden to our @randikayeCNN on Trump and the shutdown: “Republicans overwhelmingly voted to keep the government open. Then Rush Limbaugh and the conservative blonde woman says he’s losing his base, and so he’s changed his mind.”

Here is the Biden video. Note that the blonde woman doing the interview doesn’t call Biden out on it, but nods her head and says, “Yeah” in agreement.

The Hill speculated that the “conservative blone woman” Biden was referring to is Ann Coulter. Coulter is a lawyer, a conservative pundit of many years standing, a syndicated columnist, and the author of 13 books— almost all of which have appeared on the New York Times Best Sellers list to-date.
Biden knew the man’s name but not the woman’s?
Given the outrage machine on the left and their quickness to jump on such slights, how is it that this one has seemed to escape their notice? Could it be that because the blonde woman in question is a conservative, she is not worthy of the same “protection” they afford liberal women?
If President Donald Trump is a “sexist” worthy of constant attack from the left, how is Biden getting away with what he says and does? Could it be that, much like how Bill Clinton’s actions got overlooked by the left, because he is one of theirs it is OK?
Where are the pink hat protests over Biden not referring to a woman by her name? Where are the establishment media headlines about his blatantly evil sexism?
Comments on Acosta’s tweet that noticed the “blonde woman” remark laughed and compared her to the “Harry Potter” book series villain, “Voldemort.” Almost none called him out on the sexism a conservative would have been accused of had a conservative man referred to a liberal woman in a similar manner.
Of the few commenters who did raise the sexism issue, based on their other tweets, one appeared to be a Bernie Sanders supporter and one appeared to be a Trump-supporter.
Even those commenting on the tweet with the video of Biden didn’t seem to have a problem with his sexism. Their reactions were similar to those found on Acosta’s tweet.
None seemed to notice tliberal hypocrisy on the issue. Even when acknowledged as a slight of some kind, it was applauded and it was said that Coulter “deserved it.”
Also of note was how many mentioned a presidential run in 2020 by Biden, cheering it, in part because of his attack on Trump, Limbaugh, and Coulter. Back in July of last year, The New York Times wrote that even though it had not been officially announced, it appeared Biden was preparing for a 2020 run.
The Times pointed to things such as the fact that the twice-run Biden had some campaign plans for after Labor Day in order to test his message. In his 70s, they wrote that he was also being more “gentle” in his messaging than his similarly-aged counterparts, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who recently announced the launch of an exploratory committee.
Will the establishment media go after Biden, should he officially launch a bid, the way they went after Trump when he announced his? It is unlikely, given the kinder, gentler way they currently cover him and his steady stream of gaffes.
They continually refer to Trump as a “bully,” but when Biden spoke about beating up Trump, they cheered. On “The View,” they called him “chivalrous.”
When the Department of Defense looked into renting space at Trump Tower in order to provide better security for him, the left was outraged. But when Biden charged rent to the Secret Service for the use of his guest cottage, it was overlooked.
Politico wrote in November 2018 that according to its Politico/Morning Consult poll, Biden would beat Trump in an election match-up. Considering Biden wouldn’t even attempt a primary contest against Hillary Clinton in 2016 — the Democrat Trump defeated — that seems like a stretch.
American voters saw this act in 2016 with the media’s infatuation with Clinton’s expected coronation. This is media hypocrisy Trump supporters should be ready for.
