When Christine Blasey Ford testified in front of Congress about Brett Kavanaugh’s attempted sexual assault, it depressingly mirrored another testimony like this from Anita Hill about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s sexual harassment in 1994-when Joe Biden and Orrin Hatch oversaw a disastrous testimony that they structured.
*We’re confining this to the legislative and campaign arena, so the creepy Joe Biden stuff, like the title photo of this column, will not be making an appearance. In no particular order, here are the 10 worst things Joe Biden has done in his political career*. Joe Biden’s Senate career has been defined by being essentially a center-right Republican. Barack Obama single-handedly changed the course of Biden’s career, and after standing next to the most popular politician in America for eight years, Biden has finally gained the mainstream appeal he never was able to assemble on his own, as he officially launched his ( doomed) presidential campaign today while leading in tons of polls. In 2008, he couldn’t surpass the immortal Bill Richardson in the polls- never exceeding 5% support-and Biden dropped out after the Iowa caucus-the first vote of primary season. It’s easy to forget, but Joe Biden used to be a punchline that very few people took seriously as a major political candidate.
