Biden had previously told the LGBTQ community to hold Trump’s administration accountable for his “pledge” to be an ally.

1. Such a good and decent man.

I'm still pissed off at him for what he said about Hillary, but a couple of dumb comments (that were likely borne from bitterness) doesn't change how much I admire Biden.

2. This was a blatant attack on our military and LGBT Americans.

This is pure bigotry on display here. I am beyond pissed today.
