Tricks of political scoundrels

Former US vice president Joe Biden gave a talk at Colgate University yesterday.

He spoke of why he simply could not run for the top job but now feels convinced had he run he would have won.

A quote from his talk:

“The attempt to delegitimise the press — 'fake news' — is the first act of any political scoundrel,” Biden said. He nearly yelled: “We are uniquely a product of our political constitution.”
