Biden raised his voice over House Dem commander-in-chief concerns: 'I don't want to hear that crap'

President Joe Biden gave a forceful and defensive response to centrist Democrats who raised concerns about his reelection campaign in a Saturday meeting, and in one tense exchange dismissed one lawmaker’s concerns as “crap.”

Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), a respected centrist in the Democratic caucus, told Biden that people want a strong leader so they can feel safe on national security.

“I don’t want to hear that crap,” Biden said in response to Crow’s suggestion that voters did not have confidence in his national security credentials, raising his voice in a forceful defense of his foreign policy record, including the rebuilding of NATO, according to three people familiar with the remarks granted anonymity to discuss the private meeting.

But Crow spoke up again to say Biden’s accomplishments weren’t breaking through to voters.

Speak up then Crow. Live up to your name and quit being so namby pamby.

Used to having his voice heard over others.

Probably mansplains to every women around him.

Well guess you just spoke over the wrong man buddy.

While a mob was breaking into the House chamber, Crow protected his fellow Congress people.

Crow is out of his mind.

Voters are never worried about National Security - America faces inward in elections.

I guess he's expecting emphatic to be enough to sell it.

America has always had a streak of authoritarianism running through it.

Look at what happened to authoritarian W Bush's approval numbers in September 2001. They went from the lowest of any POTUS to the highest in a matter of days.

I don't want strong leaders. Strong leaders go rogue.

I want strong representation. With accountability.

Crow and people creating division post primary season is weakness. This is where Democrats look weak. In 2020 everyone vocally supported Biden. They won. The difference is obvious.

Whose fault is that? Democrats have to get off their butts and tell people. The media won't do it. They'll have to.

And Biden's campaign people are going to have to. They are have t0o.
