Joe Biden spent nearly three decades as a U.S. Senator from the State of Delaware. He spent eight years as Vice-President as part of the Barack Obama Administration. He is now one of the 572 candidates for the 2020 Democrat Presidential nomination. In his decades of public life, one thing has remained true – Biden is a street thug. He proved this yet again by threatening South Carolina’s senior Senator, Lindsey Graham.

Senator Graham has taken up the case of Hunter Biden and his boodle from the Ukraine. If you have no idea why you should care about the second son of Joe Biden, Victory Girls’ Narcissi has all the pertinent details covered and you can read it here.

Graham asked the State Department for documents regarding Hunter’s time on the Board of Directors of Burisma, the corrupt Ukrainian oil company. Well, old Joe Biden is not down with anyone digging into his boy’s background. According to the Washington Post, the Senior Biden wants Graham to know not to meddle. From the Post article:

“Lindsey is about to go down in a way that I think he’s going to regret his whole life,” Joe Biden said on CNN. Asked by host Don Lemon what he would say to his longtime Senate colleague, Biden responded, “I say: ‘Lindsey, I just — I’m just embarrassed by what you’re doing, for you. I mean, my Lord.’ ”

A thug gonna do what a thug’s got to do.

Remember the howls of indignation when President Trump merely criticized Marie Yovanovitch? If not, here is the text of the Tweet:

Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors.

That was fairly mild criticism. The Biden comment about Graham actually sounds like a threat. Or, what Joe? What are you going to do Lindsey?

And, it’s not the first time Joe has gone for the thug talk. Remember this?

“If you don’t fire the prosecutor, you’re not getting the money.” Quid pro Joe Thug.

Here’s another example: Remember when Joe Biden claimed he’d like to beat the Hell out of President Donald Trump?

“When a guy who ended up becoming our national leader said, ‘I can grab a woman anywhere and she likes it’ and then said, ‘I made a mistake,'” Biden said Tuesday of Trump, according to video of the remarks posted on Facebook by the University of Miami College Democrats.
“They asked me would I like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. I said, ‘If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,'” said Biden, getting laughter and applause from the crowd at the University of Miami.

Joe Thug is still in high school.

And, let’s not forget the fifth debate the other night, when Joe kept repeating the word “punch”, in regards to domestic violence:

The former vice president was on firm ground when he began his answer by reminding the audience that he authored legislation to address violence against women.

He then argued that “No man has a right to raise a hand to a woman in anger other than in self-defense, and that rarely ever occurs.”

“So we have to just change the culture, period,” Biden said. “And keep punching at it and punching it and punching at it.”

Thug talk has always been a part of Joe Biden’s lingo. You can tell by the way he also says “Man” all the time. It’s part of the talk just like “Dude” is part of “valley speak”.

Lindsey Graham needs to keep working at protecting the Constitution. Don’t let Joe get to you.
