Joe Biden’s been having a tough time lately, what with so many of the historically friendly MSM turning on him over his alleged racism. He could really use a friend right about now. A friend like Barack Obama. But Obama, usually so loquacious and willing to weigh in on everything, is suddenly nowhere to be found. Why is that?

Buck Sexton, for one, would like to know. And yesterday, he attempted to get to the bottom of it:

If Obama really respected and liked Biden, wouldnt he have spoken out by now on behalf of his 8 year VP who is being publicly bashed as a stealth racist? Either Obama truly holds Joe in low regard, or he is a cowardly friend without honor But Obama’s silence speaks volumes — Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) July 7, 2019

And no, “Obama doesn’t want to intervene in the primary” is not an acceptable rationalization If your good friend is unfairly getting dragged for being a racist and you can just step in and end it- You do it, as a man of honor and true friend. Obama won’t do that for Biden — Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) July 7, 2019

Obama definitely won’t do that for Biden until he’s decided which way the wind is blowing. Sucks to be Biden if the wind ultimately blows against him.

Obama may favor another Dem candidate; but how craven is he that he won't even throw water when Joe is on fire? — George spiers (@Commonsensegeo) July 7, 2019

Imma guess a cowardly “friend” He’s nothing but a glorified community organizer.. race baiter. https://t.co/TdVaP9dyzD — LaurieAnn ??‍♂️ (@mooshakins) July 8, 2019

Arrogant, cowardly , & without honor is my take on BHO. — that1madre (@Quirlygirl) July 7, 2019
