Joe Biden was in rare form as he took to a podcast to announce that gun control will be the centerpiece of a second term during the aptly-named Smartless podcast. In the fortieth minute of the just-released interview, Biden calls Thomas Jefferson’s remark that the Tree of Liberty is watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants “a bunch of crap.”

Biden also made some other rather dubious claims in the interview. But that’s nothing new for the fabulist-in-chief. From Breitbart:

During an interview with the “SmartLess” podcast that was recorded on March 28 and released on Monday, President Joe Biden stated that he will “make sure that we do something about gun violence in this country” in his second term, the Second Amendment isn’t an absolute and remarked, “this — the [tree of] liberty is watered with the blood of patriots, I mean, that’s a bunch of crap.”

Olivia Murray over at The American Thinker puts her analysis to work on the podcast just released Monday even though it was recorded weeks ago.  In short, she writes…

Yet, in spite of those numbers (and other disapproving indicators), Biden found it wise to announce on a recent podcast that the Second Amendment was “never absolute” and all that talk about Thomas Jefferson’s “tree of liberty” reference is a “bunch of crap.”

Brilliant Joe, absolutely brilliant—so brilliant in fact, I’d like to suggest that his staffers organize those comments into sound bites to accompany his campaign ads, and then run them in the very swing states in which he trails, in hopes that it might help voters weigh who’s the best man for the job, come this November.

According to a report at Breitbart today, Biden brought Bill Clinton and Barack Obama along with him when he went on the “Smartless” podcast. “Smartless” is hosted by three Hollywood actors, and if this lineup of leftwing heavy-hitters doesn’t just scream desperate, then I don’t know what does. However, all that help didn’t stand a chance against Ol’ Joe, because he couldn’t just hold it together and feign moderacy, or competence. 

The Democrat party is hemorrhaging black and brown support (a longtime reliable voting bloc), inflation and the cost-of-living crises are killing the stability of most Americans’ finances, the idea that a person would own their own modest home is no longer the American dream but a pipe dream, wars are breaking out across the world, terrorists are taking hostages at campuses and seizing campus buildings, the chaos brought by the dissolved border and the illegal invaders is on nearly everyone’s mind, national debt keeps hitting historic highs, but Joe felt it crucial to focus on…disarming law-abiding Americans. 

Joe Biden doesn’t realize that he’s the tyrant that Jefferson meant when he spoke about the Tree of Liberty.

Then again, he doesn’t remember what he had for lunch either.
