Biden Reportedly Calls Tea Party ‘Crazy’: ‘They Have No Judgment’

Vice President Joe Biden met in private with black clergy members in South Carolina today, and according to one report, Biden told them that the tea party is “crazy” and very much unlike previous incarnations of the Republican Party.

Someone who was in the room when Biden spoke provided information to CNN about the vice president’s comments. And Biden reportedly said, “This is not your father’s Republican Party. This is a different breed of cat, man. I am not making a moral judgment, but I will tell you that they have no judgment.”

He predicted that there will be zero consensus on any big issues for the rest of the Obama presidency if the GOP takes both chambers of Congress. Biden has previously said the tea party is “anti-government” and so “their ends are met best when nothing happens.”
