33. Biden said you don't have a soul in 2011 as VP: link

Thu Feb 24, 2022, 05:31 PM

Feb 2022

Biden told The New Yorker "I had an interpreter, and when he was showing me his office I said, 'It's amazing what capitalism will do, won't it? A magnificent office!' And he laughed. As I turned, I was this close to him." Biden held his hand a few inches from his nose. "I said, 'Mr. Prime Minister, I'm looking into your eyes, and I don't think you have a soul.'"

Asked whether that was a "movie line," Biden replied, "Absolutely, positively. And he looked back at me, and he smiled, and he said, 'We understand one another.' This is who this guy is!"
