At a National Association of Counties Legislative Conference on Tuesday, President Joe Biden talked about the time he left a dead dog on a Republican’s doorstep. He was remembering his time serving on the New Castle County Council when he bragged about the event.
Biden claims he represented a working-class district, with ‘one very wealthy neighborhood’ within its confines. And he dropped the dead dog on a wealthy Republican porch.
Biden and the dead dog
‘And I got a call one night, a woman said to me – obviously not of the same persuasion as I was political – call me and say, “there’s a dead dog on my lawn,”‘ Biden claimed.
‘And I said, “yes ma’am, did you call the county?” And she said, “yes, they’re not here.” And I said, “well, I’ll get ’em in the morning,”‘ he recalled.
The woman wouldn’t accept that answer. “I want it removed now, I pay your salary,” she said, according to the president.
‘So, I went over. I picked it up. She said I want it out of my front yard. I put it on her doorstep,’ he added.
