Joe Biden is no radical socialist but sometimes his party makes him seem like one on TV. No speaker at the DNC mentioned the violent protests in Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis and other cities. Republicans noticed and took up the theme that Biden is soft on rioters.

So, on Monday in Pittsburgh, with a nudge from Don Lemon, Joe condemned the violence and blamed Trump for it.

Biden no Radical Socialist

He also insisted he’d stand up to the hard left in the party’s base and for emphasis asked, “Do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters?”

I’m not sure how that will sit with Bernie Sanders. Joe’s people met with his people and Bernie was pleased with the outcome. So pleased he said that if Joe sticks to the agreement he’ll be “the most progressive president since Roosevelt.”
