President Joe Biden has a foul temper behind closed doors in a stark contrast to the folky, friendly personality he presents in public.
According to reports by Axios, which cites current and former aides to the president, Biden has a short fuse and is prone to fits of anger.
He reportedly screams at his staff with profanities such as, “God dammit, how the eff don’t you know this?!”, “Don’t effing bs me!”, and “Get the eff out of here!”
Aides who have both witnessed and been on the receiving end of his tirades verified the details to Axios.
Biden also reportedly interrogates his aides so fiercely that many of them try to avoid meeting with him alone, bringing coworkers to act as human shields to soften the verbal blow.
His aides call the angry questioning, which often continues until are left unable to give any sort of answer, “stump the chump” for its demeaning nature.
However, some of Biden’s staff chose to defend his actions to Axios.
Ted Kaufman, Biden’s close friend and longtime chief of staff, said “Most people who have worked for him like the fact that he challenges them and gets them to a better decision.”
Some aides have portrayed Biden’s yelling as an “initiation ceremony”, saying that if he doesn’t yell at you, he doesn’t respect you.
Other say the outbursts are actually a sign of Biden’s high expectations for his staff, while some say he should display his temper more publicly to prove his energy levels.
Former Candidates Criticized for Flareups
The response to, and reporting on, Biden’s verbally abusive conduct toward his staff is considerably different than seen toward (often female) candidates such as Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).
Klobuchar’s treatment of her staff was covered extensively before the 2020 election, including regular incidents where she would verbally berate her staff.
Marianne Williamson was also the subject of allegations that she was “verbally and emotionally abusive” toward her staff.
Thus far, Biden’s verbal abuses are being portrayed in a much more positive light by the mainstream media.
Has anyone heard that employees are entitled to a harassment free work environment according to labor laws.
I just read an article that said cursing is one of the traits of a genius mind. Of course, it is also one of the traits of an age, booze &/or drug addled mind. In Joe’s case, you decide which it is.
Well, we’ve seen for the past 50 years of his “government service” that Joe sure isn’t in the genius class.
Explosive outburst and cursing by a person with Biden’s confused mental state is a symptom of advanced dementia/Alzheimer’s .
???? Why cant he do in Public to staffers
So funny 2 see
I once had a similar boss – his temper tantrums and his arrogance covered a very guilty conscience as he constantly passed off his own mistakes & personal faults upon his subordinates. He was a Democratic Parety appointee, totally unqualified in all ways to hold any seniopr position in Government Offices
e cnstantly tried to pass off his lies and indiscretions on his subordinates.
I think that last is a membership requirement for the party…
That said, there is NO excuse for abusing others in any manner, and should not be tolerated, but that’s actual abuse not “hurt feelings” being labeled abuse. There is a difference, and there is neither commandment from Yhwh God nor guarantee of a right in our Constitution against being offended. Rather offenses are an opportunity to learn and grow, or to stay stuck and whine about how offended one is.
Didn’t he say he had a no tolerance rule for staff that treated people poorly?
I would be happy to provide a free consultation on “effective leadership” as verbal abuse is not a characteristic of it. It is disrespectful and demeaning resulting in lower productivity and less respect for the so-called leader.
Lord knows, God knows, Holy Spirit Knows, The man is showing CLEAR signs of mental decay and aging.
