Newsmax goon attacks Joe Biden's dog.

https://www.rawstory.com/joe-biden-dog/

The Newsmax show "Greg Kelly Reports" ran a segment on Friday voicing criticism of one of President Joe Biden's German Shepherd dogs.

Kelly put up a photo of the dog to accompany his commentary.

"Doesn't he look a little, uh, a little rough?" Kelly asked.

"I love dogs, but this dog needs a bath and a comb and all kinds of love and care. I've never seen a dog in the White House like this," he said. "I remember Buddy, I remember Millie, I remember lots of dogs, but not a dog who seems -- I don't know, I don't know how much love and care he is getting."




Champ is on the left.

And both of these dogs are gorgeous! Champ is 12, for heavens sakes! A little gray around the muzzle makes him distinguished in my book. The Bidens are fortunate to still have him. My old boy Pete died at 12, and our other three shepherds we lost at 10.

What a stupid person to pick on these magnificent dogs!

A woman was looking at it, said,” That is President Roosevelt’s dog, Fala!” I did not know. It is now marked for posterity.

That's pretty old for a German shepherd; he'd be pushing 80 if he were human. He's showing his age but he definitely looks a lot better and healthier than the 74-year-old previous occupant.

They've attacked President Biden for his stutter. They attacked the First Lady for using the title she earned. They went after the President (again) for playing MarioKart with his granddaughter. Now they're having a go at the dogs.

Based on that, Joe's doing a damn good job so far.

The fake outrage industrial complex.

RW media needs to fill the air 24/7/365 of Biden and Democrat criticism. Lord knows they're not brining any new ideas to the table. Outrage at what Dems are doing is all they have.

Champ's a fine looking dog. That's really scraping the bottom of the litter box for a criticism.

I grew up with a beagle and a rescued German Shepherd named Sugar, who had been abused and lost her tail. I think she was about 12 when she broke her hip and had to be put down. The beagle made it to 16 and died of heart failure.

Whoever/whatever they are, they’re really looking for any way, regardless of how preposterous, to target the President. I’s better to always ignore that kind of nonsense.

I’d hate to have the Whitehouse (or anyone, for that matter) dignify it with a comment.
