Out on 2020 election hustings, Obama’s former vice president Joe Biden sometimes forgets what day it is, what state he’s in and even that he’s running for the White House and not the U.S. Senate. But just like clock work, Sleepy Joe remembered to slip into a Southern accent when addressing supporters in South Carolina during yesterday’s primary victory.
“If Democrats nominate me,” the 77-year-old Biden said midway through in his regular voice, before switching into an affected southern accent, “I believe, we can beat Donald Trump.” (Breitbart, Feb. 29, 2020) “Ah baa-leave, we can beat Donald Trump” was Biden’s Hillary Clinton-type Southern drawl, delivered in his singsong voice. Next he’ll be serving up collard greens in which ever state he happens to be in on Super Tuesday, thinking he’s still in South Carolina.
“Former Vice President Joe Biden slipped into using a Southern accent while addressing supporters after a resounding win in the South Carolina primary. (Breitbart) “Biden, who on Saturday won his first nominating contest despite having run for the presidency twice before, was all smiles at his victory party. Some on social media, however, noticed that the former vice president seemed to take on a Southern accent while speaking.”
Was that because gaffe-prone Biden was vaccinated with the same accent he used in a SC ad targeting black voters back in mid-February? 'Don't feel no ways tired': Biden channels Hillary with pandering new SC ad targeting black voters’ (The American Mirror, Feb. 14, 2020) “Former vice president Joe Biden is pulling out all of the stops in reaching out to the black voters who are abandoning his campaign in droves, even if it means channeling one of the most disingenuous panderers in American politics: Hillary Clinton.
“We don’t feel no ways tired,” Biden bellowed in the video over footage of the 77-year-old offering hugs to a firefighter, black woman and older disabled lady. “We’ve come too far from where we started. “Nobody told me the road would be easy,” he continued with more of the same. “And I don’t believe he brought me this far to stop now.”
Images of protests with signs – “Stop Killing US” –  and an angry Donald Trump flash in black and white as Biden barked: “If you don’t like what is going on in this country, you only have one thing to do – Work.”
Biden supporters marching to dramatic music hammered the message home.
“Together we can and will win. Let’s take back this country now,” he said as his supporters toted “South Carolina for Biden” signs and chanted “We Want Joe!” “The phrasing – “We don’t feel no ways tired” – is lifted directly from Rev. James Cleveland’s gospel classic “I Don’t Feel No Ways Tired.” “Then senator Hillary Clinton drew widespread criticism for appropriating the famous lyrics during an address to a congregation in Selma, Alabama during the 2008 presidential race. The controversy centered in large part on Clinton’s fake southern drawl.”


By the 2016 election campaign, Hillary had graduated from a fake Southern drawl to a barking dog, triggering one of the most hilarious takeaways when Bryan Lewis posted online his ‘I think my Dog’s a Democrat’ parody.


Shortly after declaring his candidacy, Biden donned an apron to serve up soul food to black people at the famous Dulan’s on Crenshaw Boulevard. In November, the career politician completed his paperwork to secure his place on the South Carolina ballot at Food for the Soul Restaurant in Abbeville.
“The bizarre moment comes after a week of pronounced Biden gaffes while campaigning throughout South Carolina. (Breitbart) “First, Biden told an uncorroborated story about having been arrested while attempting to visit Nelson Mandela in a South African prison sometime in the late-1970s. The story, which vexed both allies and critics, was quickly walked back, but not before generating headlines. “Then, the former vice president told a crowd in Charleston, South Carolina, that he was a candidate running for the United States Senate, rather than the White House. “My name is Joe Biden. I’m a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. Look me over, if you like what you see, help out. If not, vote for the other Biden,” the 77-year-old said. “That gaffe was followed by a promise Biden made only days later to appoint the first African-American woman to the Senate if elected in 2020. Biden made the gaffe in part of his stump speech, where he usually discusses his pledge to appoint the first black woman to the Supreme Court.”
Biden’s Southern drawl is Yankee in nature. The Yankee translation for what Biden is really saying? “Y’all vote for me now, hear?!”
