Right for the Wrong Reasons

The Washington Times reports the following Biden quote from the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee's appearance on a radio show:
There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there that are just not very good people.
Putting aside the similarity to Hillary’s “basket of deplorables,”  let’s agree with Joe Biden and identify some of those “not very good people.” I’d begin with his son Hunter, a druggie, father of a stripper’s illegitimate child, failed Navy officer, and exploiter of the family political connections to the tune of $50,000 per month.

Then I’d add Mrs. Clinton and her serially unfaithful husband Bill, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, both low-life, lying snakes, and virtually every Democrat officeholder and wannabe (including Joe himself) down to the city council level. How are we doing so far?

Then I’d add all the professional athletes who are wealthy but whine about how badly the country treats them, everybody with a felony conviction, the urban looters, most people in show business, the media, and the arts establishment. Plus 90% of academics, the snowflakes they teach, and all Karens (except my niece Karen, who’s nice). Are we getting close to 10% yet?

I have to confess I haven’t run the totals so ol’ Joe may exaggerate a tad but he’s basically correct, there are quite a few “not very good people.” Since he is part of the problem, I’m surprised he’d call attention to the fact. Perhaps like fish unaware of water, the old hair-sniffer doesn’t get that he’s describing himself.
