US Vice President Joe Biden, like many other US politicians, is a “criminal funded by Corporate America,” says writer and political activist Mickey Z.
The author of Occupy This Book and Occupy These Photos made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Tuesday while commenting on a statement by Biden who said he decided not to enter the US presidential race after concluding he couldn’t win the White House in 2016.
"I'll be very blunt. If I thought we could’ve put together the campaign that our supporters deserve and our contributors deserved, I would’ve gone ahead and done it," Biden said in an interview with CBS News on Sunday.
Mickey Z. said that “the only aspect of this entire charade I find interesting is how the duped American public still thinks Biden entering the race would ‘broaden’ any discussion or offer ‘more options.’”
“He’s a career politician, a criminal funded by Corporate America and dedicated to the continuation of policies that can only bring us ever closer to social, economic, and environmental collapse,” the analyst added.
During a speech on Wednesday at the White House, the 72-year-old Biden announced he wouldn’t run for president while standing next to his wife and US President Barack Obama.
Biden also expressed disappointment over partisan bickering in Washington politics.
According to a recent poll, nearly half of Democratic voters wanted Biden to enter the presidential race and challenge leading Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, who is competing against only three Democrats and independent Senator Bernie Sanders.
