31. I guess I must have missed that time when Kissinger endorsed Biden

Jan 2020

and then Biden used that endorsement in his campaign advertising.

The problem isn't that a guy with a long history of racist, homophobic and misogynistic "comedy" endorsed Bernie - candidates can't really control who decides to endorse them, even embarrassing characters like Rogan - it's that Bernie welcomed the endorsement and touted it in his campaign advertising. Big difference.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
