When losers are losing, they often deflect and project their anger and hurt feelings onto others, which is what President Joe Biden did in a recent interview about the U.S. Supreme Court.
According to the New York Post, the 81-year-old president, currently losing in many major hypothetical matchup polls to former President Donald Trump, took nasty shots at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Liberal groups have relentlessly attacked Thomas in their pursuit to alter the makeup of the high court, which is currently a 6-3 conservative majority.
Thomas came under fire recently for his relationship with billionaire GOP donor friend Harlan Crow.
In a recent interview with The New Yorker, published Monday, Biden discussed whether or not the Supreme Court would eventually revisit other past decisions like they did with Roe v. Wade.
In the wake of the overturning of Roe, Thomas had suggested that previous precedents would be revisited, including rulings about contraception and same-sex marriage, sparking raging anger among leftist groups.
The NY Post noted:
"Because any substantive due process decision is ‘demonstrably erroneous,’" Thomas, now 75, wrote at the time, "we have a duty to ‘correct the error’ established in those precedents."
"I think that a couple on the Court would go considerably further," Biden told The New Yorker, specifically, "the guy who likes to spend a lot of time on yachts."
The interviewer then reportedly asked if Biden was referring to Thomas, and received a grin in response.
"I don’t think there’s a majority to go there," Biden added, referring to whether or not conservative justices would all agree on tackling such past precedents set by the high court.
After taking cracks at Thomas, the president explained that he would like to make Roe v. Wade the "law of the land," obviously in an attempt to woo voters who support abortion as a top priority at the ballot box.
"I’ve never been supportive of, you know, ‘It’s my body, I can do what I want with it.’ But I have been supportive of the notion that this is probably the most rational allocation of responsibility that all the major religions have signed on and debated over the last thousand years," Biden said in what was described as a "rare" media interview.
Fox News noted:
The magazine noted the politics of abortion have been historically difficult for the president. An aide told the New Yorker it's always been a "hard issue" for Biden, as someone who the president said was "not big" on abortion.
Clearly, Biden is desperate to win as much support as he can for his struggling presidential campaign, but for as many issues that the United States faces, it seems that making fun of a Supreme Court justice would be a rather low priority for most in his position.
