Viewers Say Farron Is Both A Biden Shill AND A Biden Hater

A pair of competing questions/comments came in this week, with one viewer accusing Farron of being a "propagandist" for the Biden administration, and the other accusing Farron of being way too harsh on the administration. These two statements cannot both be true, so how can two viewers watch the same content and come away with conflicting views? Farron Cousins thinks he may have an answer.

Over the years, I've been called many names. Uh, I've been called a Bernie bro. I've been called a Hill Bott. I have been called a neoliberal. I've been called a far left lunatic. Um, and it, it doesn't actually bother me, but that actually leads me to the next two questions that I wanna address. I'm gonna read both questions before I issue any answers. The first question came from YouTube Community Member Royce, uh, uh, Roy Copeland 9 5 6 oh. So Roy Copeland asked me this, why you're such a Biden propagandist. Is it really worth losing White House, the House and Senate for a man who took top secret docs home and kept them for 14 years, who lied on debate stage about his family taking Chinese money? Who doesn't want to end D o j memo and run at 82? Don't we have dozens of qualified Dems without five decades of baggage? Because, you know, I'm a Biden propagandist. Then the next question is from YouTube community member Toots 19. And Toots 19 wants to know, I wanna know why you hate Biden. You're suggesting that we vote for who? Exactly. The alternative is outstanding. So tell us, who do you want at R o f? Not Kennedy. I hope.

Now the reason obviously, I'm, I'm lumping these two questions together is because they're two completely conflicting points, like they both cannot be true. How can I be both a Biden propagandist and absolutely loath President Biden with every fiber of my being? It's simply not possible. And here's the fun part. I'm neither of those things. I have made it clear in video after video, both here, over and over at Ring of Fire, um, and on the Ring of Fire podcast that I host. And if you're not listening to that, you should be. Um, I, I've made it clear that I am going to vote for President Biden. I have also made it clear that I wish a better Democrat were running now. Definitely not. Bobby Kennedy Jr. Ha. No. And I've also said, although I like what Maryanne Williamson has to say, I do not think she should, you know, with no political experience become President.

Like that's dangerous. We just went through four years of that. Let's not try that experiment again, but to be a Biden propagandist, like, wow, you know, that one, that one actually, I gotta say like, that hurts a little. I have criticized President Biden since the 2020 debates, like the 2019 Democratic primary debates. I did not want him to be the candidate at all. I did not vote for him in the 2020 primary here in Florida. But he's what we've got. Yes, I would prefer a different Democrat and people are, well then who would it be? Katie Porter. How about Katie Porter? How about Stacey Abrams? How about Elizabeth Warren?

How about Jamie Raskin? How about Ed Markey? How about Bernie Sanders? How about Jeff Merkley? How about Jay Insley? You want me to continue, or do you have a good enough list so far? How about Gavin Newsom? I mean, uh, how about Barbara Lee? How about Nina Turner? Do you want me to continue? There's plenty of good names of people out there that have political experience that could do this, that would have a shot that would bring us good leadership here in the Democratic Party, but we don't have those options right now. Now do we? Because Biden's running and they're not even gonna have a primary. So it is what it is. But it is funny to me how people can watch these videos and come out with like two distinct, distinctly different takeaways that I am both somehow a Biden propagandist and the biggest Biden hater on the planet. I don't know.
