Kellyanne Conway on Biden Talking About ‘Decency’: Nobody Knows More About it than a Guy Who Pardoned His Own Son

CONWAY: “As most of you know, former President Jimmy Carter passed away over the weekend at the age of 100. That means Joe Biden is now the oldest living current or former U.S. president. And on Sunday, Biden took time away from his tropical vacation in St. Croix to honor the life of Jimmy Carter. Unfortunately, Biden’s speech was not without some confusion. At one point he seemed to mix up his own father with the late former president. Check it out.”

Biden: “He was like my dad, he thought that — he said, ‘Joey, job’s about a lot more than a paycheck, it’s about dignity, your dignity, about being able to look a kid in the eye and say everything is going to be okay. He believed, as I do, as many of you do, that that’s absolutely possible. It’s within our grasp to do that. It’s not that hard.”

CONWAY: “Self-proclaimed uniter, Joe Biden, then needlessly inserted politics into his remarks, lecturing Americans about decency.”

Biden: “In today’s world, some look at Jimmy Carter and see a man of a bygone era, where honesty, character, faith and humility mattered. (...) Decency. Decency. Decency. Everybody deserves a shot. Everybody. Can you imagine Jimmy Carter walking by someone who needs something and just keeps walking? Can you imagine Jimmy Carter referring to someone by the way they look or the way they talk? I can’t. I can’t.”

CONWAY: “Decency. Of course, no one truly knows more about decency than the guy who pardoned his own son from a potential 42-year prison sentence.”
