"Who is this assh*le?": Joe Biden blasts hedge funder who heckled him during public moment of grief



Later during a private VIP dinner, the question came up about why Biden didn’t run in 2016. Former Gov. Jeb Bush asked, “why didn’t you run?”

Biden — who has been especially close to his family since losing his wife and infant daughter in a 1972 car accident weeks before he was sworn into office as a senator — became emotional and ultimately said “I’m sorry … I’ve said enough.”

“Why? That’s never stopped you before!” Ackman blurted out.

That’s when things got tense, according to those present.

“Who is this assh*le?” Biden asked. “Look, I don’t know who you are, wise-ass, but never disrespect the memory of my dead son!”

Good for him.
Also - Jeb never should have asked the question unless he's been living under a rock the last few years.

"Dumb" coupled with "duplicitous" and "manipulative" which have been enough to get them where they are, which is conniving secretive subverters of our nation.

No one who works for a living should vote for these ill-intentioned plutocrats, who bring nothing to the table for average Americans.

nothing less from a rat winger. Callous, cold, uncaring with no ability for empathy or compassion. Joe should have decked the asshole.

is nothing to be proud of. Wipe that smirk off your face, a-hole.

Not surprising to hear that he made a stupid, insensitive remark.
