WATCH: Gold Star Moms Rip Into Joe Biden's Phoniness in ABC Interview The ABC segment begins with Biden reading from a teleprompter. It's hard to watch without becoming gripped by anger.

Jonathan Turley. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Biden's use of fake names in email could cost him [...] Obama is now being asked to bail Biden out from another debacle of his own making, going back to his time in Obama's administration. Various committees and private groups are seeking more than 5,000 emails from Biden in which he used an array of aliases during the Obama administration.
