Joe Biden makes heartfelt appearance on Stephen Colbert show

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Even as Donald Trump continues to offend Americans and humiliate himself with his increasingly unhinged and incoherent public appearances, Joe Biden is taking a very different approach. Biden is simply doing media appearances and behaving like a real leader is supposed to behave.

To that end, Joe Biden appeared on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show on Thursday night and spoke about the grieving process for those who have lost loved ones in the coronavirus crisis (if the video below won’t load on your device, go here to watch it):

Nearly 100,000 Americans are dead. It's hard to fathom the widespread loss we are facing. But @JoeBiden gets it, and on the @colbertlateshow he commends those who are grieving and press forward.
