Biden has finally done it, he weaponized cluelessness.

Via The Hill:

Vice President Biden argued Thursday night in a foreign policy address at Harvard University that Americans “face no existential threat” from terrorism.

Imploring students to keep the threat posed by violent extremists “in perspective,” Biden said that although the country must remain vigilant, terrorists did not fundamentally challenge “our way of life or our security.”

“Let me say it again: We face no existential threat — none — to our way of life or our ultimate security,” Biden said. “You are twice as likely to be struck by lightning as you around to be affected by a terrorist event in the United States.”

This is a direct contradiction to Obama’s claim last week that ISIS represents an “immediate threats to the United States.”

Dealing with the threat posed by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is a “more immediate concern” than confronting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, President Obama said in an interview airing late Sunday. […]

On the other hand, Obama said, terror networks like ISIS and the Khorasan Group — an al Qaeda offshoot operating in Syria that was also targeted in U.S. air strikes — pose “immediate threats to the United States.”

“Those folks could kill Americans,” Obama said.
