Just hours after news broke that President Donald Trump ousted, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman from his national security post in the White House, former Vice President Joe Biden asked a Democratic presidential debate audience to give the decorated soldier a standing ovation.
Vindman testified during the House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry, and stated that the president held up military aid to Ukraine in an attempt to pressure the Ukrainian government to announce an investigation into former Vice President Biden and his son Hunter.
During the debate, Biden said that Vidnman should have received a Medal of Freedom instead of Rush Limbaugh, and asked the crowd to stand and honor the Purple Heart recipient.
"I think we should all stand up and give Lt. Col. Vindman a show of how much we supported him," Biden told the crowd. "Stand up and clap for Vindman."
The audience rose to their feet and applauded as Biden asked
Joe is the only one who did this. He knew when to respect someone who deserved it..he is a true leader,,,

(1,887 posts)With the heated Sanders/Buttigieg rivalry the truth is coming out that Sanders is getting "dark money"
which enforces my hunch that Trump campaign was boosting the most unlikely opponent among the Democratic
candidates.

(3,300 posts)Joe had his health plan in June 2019.
And Pete had the same health plan as Joe's and put the same idea out in Sept...2019 Joe approached him on it.... its not Pete's own health plan
At first Pete was for MFA he didn't have his own health idea ..not experience enough..to do his own health plan
