... nor do I recall him "promising" anything to anyone. So let's drop the Chicken Little histrionics over Biden protecting his son from the malicious filth on the Dark Side of the Aisle, shall we? There are far more pressing issues to contend with.
I recall when Bush the Lesser's campaign targeted John McCain's adopted daughter with scurrilous accusations, and Dubya laughed off McCain's indignation with, "C'mon, John, it's just politics!"
No, Georgie, it was just being a fucking Republican with the moral compass of a rabid hyena.
