No, I said that his "No comment" comment on August 10th was perceived as insensitive and tone-deaf, and he compounded the issue by showing up on the beach later that week.
You can twist and spin this all you want Finn, but it doesn't flatter you when you do it.

You can try to make the topic about me if you want to, but it doesn't change what happened.
Nice try, though.

You're lying once again. His "no comment" response was on Aug. 13, not Aug. 10. Moreover, it occurred in response to a shouted question that he didn't hear clearly while he was on a beach vacation. He has no obligation to respond to such questions and not doing so does not show a lack of empathy (particularly when he provided his response 4 days earlier).
Lastly, this "perception" of him being insensitive and tone-deaf was due solely to wingnut media trying once again to create a false equivalency with Trump's widely known sociopathy and total lack of empathy. Biden is widely acknowledged to be highly empathetic, a trait that wingnut media felt compelled to undermine.
And once again, you have failed to answer why the Far Right is responsible for 3 times as many acts of political violence than all others combined and why conservative politicians and clergy don't address it as they demand of Muslim imams (instead of often promoting political violence).

Impeach Joe Biden, Indict Hunter Biden, Hang Mike Pence.
But the TFG still has 91 indictments he needs to wade through.

Oh darn. You're right. Joe was sunning himself on the beach when he said it. Was that before or after his bonehead attempt at empathy by lying and comparing his small kitchen fire to the burning of an entire city on Maui?

WTF is wrong with you? Biden did exactly nothing wrong. He chose not to respond to a shouted question while on a beach vacation (with the rest of DC, a ghost town in August).
What's even more stupid is you, a Trumpist, claiming to care even a whit about empathy in a President. You really should lay off of wingnut media. It leaves you angry and misinformed (indeed the very point of it).

It's pretty clear, from the Wiki description of this miscreant, that he's a far-right nutjob. One would have to be severely brain damaged to not realize this. I think we all know of a certain brain-damaged, hateful sociopath in our midst.

The killer was Travis Ikeguchi, a 26-year-old man from Cedar Glen. He regularly posted anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion messages on Twitter and Gab. In one post, Ikeguchi wrote "What to do with the flag?" alongside an image of burning the rainbow flag. According to media reports, Ikeguchi also posted statements including, "We need to STOP COMPROMISING on this LGBT dictatorship [...] True followers of Christ SHOULD NOT and NEVER TOLERATE this stupid indoctrination of LGBT agenda in marriage or in our own businesses." He frequently retweeted Bible verses, Christian nationalist content, and anti-Semitic materials. He was critical of former President Donald Trump and instead supported Tom Hoefling, a far-right Constitution Party and American Independent Party candidate for President. Ikeguchi was a supporter of anti-trans blogger Matt Walsh, having retweeted and reposted his content on many occasions.

Mikey the troll is still hiding under his bridge on this one. So...is he a liar? Or can we give him a break and say he's just another ignoramus who drank the kook aid?

Trollin' trollin' trollin'
You can't stop me trollin'
Nothin' ever gets through trollhide!
Come on, dispute me,
Utterly refute me,
I'll swing that ol' tarbrush high and wide.
All your calculation
Facts and information
Don't make no impression--trollhide!
Never admit error,
Stand my ground forever
It's my super-power, trollhide!
Take lies as gospel
'Cause it makes 'em hostile,
If they're uncovered let them slide,
Misinformation
Mixed with obfuscation,
Endless disputation, trollhide!
Egg 'em on, whip 'em up,
Mess 'em up, fake 'em out,
Egg 'em on, fake 'em out, trollhide!
Set 'em up, reel 'em in,
Ride 'em hard, get 'em hot,
Let 'em bitch, trollhide!
Never admit error,
Stand my ground forever
It's my super-power, trollhide!
Take lies as gospel
'Cause it makes 'em hostile,
If they're uncovered let them slide,
Misinformation
Mixed with obfuscation,
Endless disputation, trollhide!
