Why so touchy, Joe?
The former Obama VP switched into full on assault mode when asked a simple, straightforward, very mild question by Peter Doocy of Fox News related Biden and son Hunter’s dealings with the Ukraine.
Doocy’s question “Mr. Vice President, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings?” triggered a hostile response from Joe Biden, who started yelling at Doocy, pointing a finger at him and railing him for asking what should be a very direct, easy-to-answer question.
Here’s a transcript:
PETER DOOCY: Mr. Vice President, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings?Â
JOE BIDEN: I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.
DOOCY: And so how do you know —
BIDEN (pointing a finger at Doocy throughout his answer): And here’s what I know, I know Trump deserves to be investigated. He is violating every basic norm of a president. You should be asking him the question, why is he on the phone with a foreign leader? Trying to intimidate a foreign leader, if that’s what happened, that appears to be what happened, you should be looking at Trump. Trump’s doing this because he knows I’ll beat him like a drum. And he’s using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me.
