There's no way to disprove such an allegation, nor is there remotely enough evidence to say, hey I think Biden might have done that.

I find it odd this friend says she still supports, and will vote, for Joe Biden.

People all over this thread say they don't care what Biden has done, as long as he beats a Trump.

She mentioned being wiling to vote for Biden to try to act as if she isn't biased. I call BS.
