    Default Biden uses quote notably uttered by Mao Zedong

    Biden held a digital fundraiser featuring former President Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. According to The Atlantic's Edward-Isaac Dovere, the former vice president "cited an old Chinese proverb" while discussing economic relief for women during a Q&A session.

    “We’ve got to get real economic relief into women’s hands now,” Biden reportedly said, later saying that “women hold up half the sky.”
    The saying "women hold up half the sky," however, is not a proverb but a famous proclamation made by Mao

    The entire world has been quoting Confucius for a millennium. Now a 200-year-old country run by a fat orange moron wants to vilify China.

    The Trumpers are the most intellectually limited mob in the world, clearly. How can it possibly matter who used this particular expression to suggest the sexes might actually be equally important. Just because the backwoodsmen are shocked and need an excuse for it! Silly lot of buggers!

    Don't worry, she never makes much sense in her snipping comments. Grind even said she often sounded retarded. Harsh, but it's his opinion to have.

    This is a devastating and highly effective line of attack on Biden. Republicans would be wise if they would make the case Joe Biden is a radical leftist Maoist their main campaign theme moving forward

    'His poor decisions killed thousands of mostly senior citizens and what does he do?
    He pats himself on the back and even quotes himself.'
