JUST BROKEN: Sanders Slams Biden's Speech Demeanor!

Bernie Calls for Biden to 'Be More Animated!'
by Ima Ryter

Michigan, 3/10/3030
During an appearance at a Fox News Town Hall, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) gave some impromptu advice to his opponent in the 2020 Democratic Primary campaign, former VP Joe Biden. He said, "Not only does Biden give short speeches that lack lugubrious, repetitive content, he also frequently forgets to gesticulate wildly with his arms and hands. That lack of emphatic gestures, which I use freely and often, makes his remarks seem wooden and bland." Sanders illustrated his point at the Fox Town Hall by pointing several times at the camera and making jerky, sweeping motions with his arms.

One Joe Biden campaign leader responded when asked to comment on Sanders' criticism by shrugging his shoulders slightly and smiling.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Tell us again about M4A again Bernie... Bernie has a ten minute speech - he just gives it three or four times in a row.

Speeches that lack lugubrious, repetitive content.

That's a bad thing?

lu·gu·bri·ous
/ləˈɡ y)o͞obrēəs/
adjective
looking or sounding sad and dismal.
"Bernie's speech was even more lugubrious than usual"

That's because I could actually see Bernie Sanders telling Joe Biden how he should behave.
