The Intercept obtained the leaked audio of Tuesday’s Zoom call where Biden told civil rights leaders he is opposed to using executive authority on a wish list from “progressive friends.”
“So there’s some things that I’m going to be able to do by executive order,” Biden said. “I’m not gonna to hesitate to do it, but what I’m not going to do is… when you’d have some of the people you were supporting saying, ‘On Day One I’m gonna have an executive order to do this!’ Not within the constitutional authority.”
“I am not going to violate the Constitution,” Biden said slamming his hands “Executive authority that my progressive friends talk about is way beyond the bound, and as one of you said, maybe it was you, Reverend Al, whether it’s far left or far, right, there is a Constitution.”
“There’s no executive authority to do away that,” he explained. “No one has fought harder to get rid of assault weapons than me, me, but you can’t do it by executive order. We do that, next guy comes along and says, well, guess what? By executive order, I guess everybody can have machine guns again. So we’ve got to be careful.”
Of course he does. This is what Democrats do every 4 years. Pretend minorities mean something to them. Promise them the world and then the Democrats fuck them over. I don't believe a single word that Biden says but if he follows through I would respect him for coloring within the lines and admitting he can't do half the shit they promised without involving congress.
Actually impressed by demented joe there. At least he didn't bend over like a bitch.
But on a side note, I see a demographic shift in latinos towards republicans. If demographics are key to elections then the dems are idiotic to keep pandering to 13% of population blacks only. Trump won Florida by a higher margin than any president since Reagan.
