Biden To The Mourning Loved Ones: ‘You’ll Get Through This Veil Of Darkness’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
help us Biden. You’re our only hope.
Wendy Pastore green party is our only hope now
Joe: I’m Joe Biden and I’m running for Vice president
Yea he gna help you all right if he remembers
J Nolastname
No. I lived through that false promise in 2000 and it got us Bush/Cheney, the Iraq war, cancer clusters from fracking and a recession instead of a President Gore who cares more about climate change than any green I’ve ever met. You are really a chaos agent if you spread that bs. Not buying it.
@HisRoyalMajesty 08 it’s true he’s not the best public speaker. But Trump has straight up dementia!!
Ahahaha then you’re done with
Pray that people wake up from the cognitive dissonance they are living in.
@David Myers talk to your senators and legislators! Tell them we need more testing!
@jay Jay yes but in two months it’s been more death then in the Vietnam War, we are freaking out because is targeting our elderly population. We are in an ageist culture and you seem to be okay with letting the elderly die off … perhaps because it would help out with the amount of money we have to spend on Healthcare. What a compassionate person.
@Joanne Fitzpatrick Hear hear!!! A screening test to screen out psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissistic personality disorders (all three of which are part of the diagnosis of the Orange Hitler wannabe! That’s at the top end. At the bottom end . . . a high school course on “propaganda analysis” teaching students the fine art of critical thinking – a required course for graduation and includes automatic voter registration upon completion of the course and reaching the age of 18 (16?).
@Joanne Fitzpatrick I’ll do it for you . . . . “Sarcasm Alert”!!!
Still can’t believe Democrats wake up everyday believing propaganda so far removed from actual reality. If it were up to the MSM, Nick Sandmann would be the most hated teenager in America.
Very touching…. real human, good man!
GRU dTT
He’s good at giving a eulogy
you’re beyond hope
Can anyone imagine Trump* saying anything so heartfelt, so coherent, and so empathetic?
@David J lol. Like there’s a good example?
I imagine Trump’s response to that question would be to call the dead losers and we’ve got the best warriors in the whole world. Other countries are asking how are your warriors so beautiful so incredible. . . and Obamagate
David J And don’t forget how Fox News views the 87,000 Americans who’ve lost their lives .. as those who were already sick and dying, already on their way out, and not contributing to society. So heartfelt from people like Hannity, Carlson, and Ingraham. 🤮
@KatieCabo theyre the new holocaust deniers
@KatieCabo when did fox say this ?
How can there be so much discrepancies between this person and the one clowning around with lives
How can you not be able to complete a sentence properly ?
Because this person cannot remember anything he did 3 seconds before. He has fresh eyes on any situation.
Heartfelt and sympathetic comment! 🙏🙏 for those of that have lost love ones to this pandemic my deepest condolences 😘😢
@Arthur Dealy Thats a dumb thing to say. I’ve watched his town halls on youtube, and he’s a hundred times more coherent than Trump.
@Arthur Dealy And he said she ( Reade) should be heard, Try to keep up
Well rehearsed. I wonder if that guy was legit.
I want this guy as my president, what we have now is a joke.
Thanks man
A wife and a daughter a son , Jesus this kid couldn’t catch a break
It’s not the kid but Biden who lost is first wife and daughter and son from is current wife
Marie Berthiaume….Biden’s first wife and daughter were killed in a car crash. His son from his first wife died of cancer.
@surferdude44444 thanks
This man understands empathy ! Sadly, Trump can’t Express Empathy for anyone’s loss !
Trump can’t even spell empathy
jesus christ did your cat walk across your keyboard? I mean you’re correct but you also have 5 spaces that don’t belong.
The orange-utan can show empathy for loss of stock dollars, but only if you say nice things about him!
He sure had empathy when he was savagly raping his interns. Or when he was using corruption to get crack addict hunter Biden a position in Ukraine. HAIL TRUMP, 2 more terms
Ironically the only time he show something akin to sympathy was when he was asked about Biden’s allegations. Don’t @ me about that.
now that’s compassion
Biden wrote an Op-Ed in USA Today warning America that we needed to be more prepared for a potential pandemic outbreak…Why didn’t Trump listen? 🤦…Maybe because it wasn’t on Fox
@Joseph Williams oh ok so when trump started to shut down incoming foreign flght then
@BartJ583Nope https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-fire-pandemic-team/
@BartJ583 Precise enough for you? He also cut funding to the CDC at the same time, crippling their efforts. Come on, man. I’m Canadian, and I knew that. Canadians like facts, so we research. I knew that a long time ago Just sayin.
@Ken White
I am sorry, your source is wrong. The pandemic response team was disbanded, but the members were not fired, they were reassigned. Be precise. *Did Trump (or Bolton) cripple the pandemic response team? Yes.* Did he fire its members? No.

@Deborah Freedman
I am from Germany. There was no testing in Germany in January or February other than when hospitals tried to diagnose a patient. Even today you cannot get a test just because you want to, as people in South Korea can.

This is how a president should answer questions. How to show compassion. How to be human. Everything Trump can’t be. He’ll just say, oh it wasn’t my fault.
magichwoo , 1:09 in this video https://youtu.be/2HHqcr43qr0 is how Biden really behaves. Don’t be fooled by this rehearsed stage show. Check out the “Look, fat…” compassionate remark at 0:48 https://youtu.be/fbEJpr4A9mQ Biden doesn’t have any real compassion for anybody but himself, he just wants power.
Ridiculous. President Trump is a compassionate, generous man who is very kind to bereaved families, verbally and financially.
Lols.
I will pray for this man. I am so sorry. May God bless him.
So many truly good people like you , this the ‘great’ America we need.
God bless BIDEN our nation NEEDS YOU
Joementia for president?
Bah hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha!!!!!!
My grief lasted about 6 months. The darkness Mr. Biden speaks of is a very real thing. It manifests in different ways for many people. Don’t fight it, let it hurt. Their memories will console you eventually. And you’ll feel stronger, like a soldier who survived a battle. ♥️✝️☪️✡️
True. Grieve. That way, it is easier to overcome it. Feel the pain until it is over. You’ll feel more fulfilled when you overcome the pain.
grieve in the way that makes you happy. my wife of 30yrs died from complications of cancer surgery in 2014. i was devastated. didnt even want to live. I hung on, made some mistakes and, here I am, a whole person whose life has been made more rich for having known her. grieve in the way that makes you happy.
I’m so sorry for your loss remember they are in a better place now and they will always be watching over you. I k ow I don’t k ow who you are but my heart goes out to you
I shed a tear, this man knows empathy! I’m scared and lost, in need of a REAL leader. Trump doesn’t care!
San Willy this “leader” won’t even remember this man 5 minutes after he leaves
Your stupid
Thank you Joe Biden for words of comfort in these trying times. That’s presidential.
Its all staged b s with n substance whatsoever. His mind to mouth skills are shot.
This brought tears to my eyes.
Time heals. I’ve lost my husband three years ago. Everyday was a challenge on how to overcome it. But faith in God helped me got through it. Now, I’ve moved forward, happy, grateful and I am full of God’s love.
The scrappy kid from Scranton always gets back up. He’s been there and he knows how to get our country through this
See, even if you think that he isn’t genuine, at least he won’t undermine society’s values.
