In reply to the discussion: Cynthia Nixon attacks Joe Biden for calling Mike Pence a "decent man" [View all]R B Garr
(16,950 posts)14. Context is important: Biden was referencing Pence introducing Trump at the Munich
Security Conference when Pence said, "I'm here on behalf of President Trump" and was met with dead silence. Biden barely uttered that comment about Pence in passing to show how even his VP was shunned. That council would not necessarily know or care about Cynthia Nixon badmouthing all kinds of Democrats and losing an election in New York, or about any LGBT issues -- Pence's audience was world leaders and Pence was shunned. Biden was talking about a stunning lack of presidential leadership.
This is in OMAHA, where Biden is speaking at Chuck Hagel's Global Leadership Council. Biden is knocking it out of the park. No one can match him on foreign relations. I'll try to find the link to his speech.

OP
A lot of pearl clutching because Joe Biden respects the dignity of the office in public.

Some folks seem more interested in attacking Democrats than Republicans.

Cynthia Nixon was endorsed in that race by the so-called "Justice Democrats."
