Normally, getting money for speeches would be a good thing. Not anymore though, especially if you are a Democrat. If you make big amounts of money, especially for doing basically nothing like Joe Biden then getting paid $200,000 is downright criminal. It’s no wonder why the corrupt bastard is running for president for the third time. He knows he will fail, but adding “presidential candidate” to “former vice president” will likely double he speaking fees to nearly half a million dollars per speech. Typical crooked greedy Democrat.
Mush mouthed Biden doesn’t ever have anything intelligent to say. What’s he going to talk about? His palling around with segregationist Democrats? Getting $200,000 for a speech doesn’t exactly ring as “middle class Joe” to me.
Greedy Biden was paid $200,000+ for speeches after leaving WH |

Former Vice President Joe Biden has reportedly pocketed millions in income since exiting the Obama administration, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
Biden, who often remarks from the 2020 presidential campaign trail that he was once the poorest member of the U.S. Senate, has reportedly taken in millions of dollars since leaving the vice presidency, largely from book deals and speaking fees.
The Post reported that public documents revealed Biden’s speaking fees sometimes cost as much as $200,000.
The former vice president, who has frequently referred to himself as “Middle Class Joe,” gave a speech or appeared at a book event at least 65 times, according to the paper. Biden declined to take a fee in least 10 of those instances, the outlet reported.
His campaign told the Post that he has given fewer than 50 paid speeches, but did not offer further details about how many speeches were given or the total Biden earned.
