Meghan McCain Speaks of Longtime Family Friend Joe Biden

Do you think that Trump is secretly a nice, jovial guy? Conversely, beware of the propaganda that will be pushed to suggest that Biden is not the guy that we have come to know over the past few decades. I supported Elizabeth Warren, not Biden, but one thing that I saw as a strength to Biden is that he is pretty well defined and a lot of folks know him, so it is tough to try to redefine him as the second coming of Trump. Still, watch Fox News and the Intercept try.

Meghan McCain spoke candidly of her own grief on Thursday while attesting to the former Vice President Joe Biden’s "real character," tweeting that her family's longtime friend “has been a beacon of light and hope” for her in recent years.

In a string of tweets responding to an op-ed about how Biden could effectively campaign against President Donald Trump, she supported the Democratic politician who was a close friend of her late father, Sen. John McCain, who died of brain cancer in 2018.

“The day before my Dad passed I was so distraught I couldn't stop shaking and vomiting. NO ONE could calm me down, not my mom or my husband,” The View co-host, 35, tweeted.

“Joe called me to check in, talked me through what it was going to happen soon and then prayed with me," she continued. "It gave me the strength to keep on.”

while greed, deception and bullying are seen as strong and leader like. I mean by the followers, not by the grifters. I absolutely agree with James Carville that the grifters are keeping 45 in power so they can pick our bones as long as humanly possible. What astounds me is how many people like it.
