Joe Biden finds defenders in unusual places: Fox News and the GOP

[melman]

Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson had such a guilty conscience Wednesday night that he just had to apologize. No, not for his controversial past comments about women, Iraqis and child rape that were recently unearthed. Instead, he had to apologize to Joe Biden.

“There is something sad — pathetic, really — about watching a 76-year-old man apologize for not understanding selfie culture,” Carlson said, referring to the former vice president’s two-minute video addressing allegations of inappropriate physical interactions with women (which wasn’t actually an apology). “You’d hope that your own golden years would be a little more dignified than that,” he went on, “but Biden is a politician, and he had no choice. They drove him to it, and so did we. And that is the point of the apology.”

Carlson is hardly alone in defending Biden on the right. In recent days, he has received votes of confidence from other Fox News personalities, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and even Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa). Many of them seem to think that Biden is being railroaded and that this represents the #MeToo movement run amok.
