Crusty Joe Biden problems keep adding up. A video came out with him talking about how he loves it when little kids rub his “hairy legs.” Now he’s accusing Mayor Pete E. Neuman Buttigieg of stealing his healthcare plan. LOL! Democrats eating Democrats. Biden’s struggles continue as he lags behind Buttigieg in both Iowa and New Hampshire.

Former Vice President Joe Biden accused South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Monday of stealing his healthcare plan.
Biden, who was one of the first 2020 Democrats to spurn Medicare for All in favor of a public health insurance option, leveled the claim while talking to reporters aboard his “No Malarkey” bus tour in Iowa.
The accusation arose when reporters asked Biden if his initial stance against Medicare for All had made it more politically viable for candidates like Buttigieg to criticize the plan themselves.
The former vice responded that he had not simply set the stage for Buttigieg, as much as the mayor had lifted his proposal for a public option and tried to pass it off as original.
“Set it up,” Biden said, according to Politico. “He stole it! Set it up?”
