Joe Biden made a statement about Brexit and Johnson’s latest maneuvering, and I would not have known it by simply reading my usual sources, but going to see the UK Brexit headlines brought to my attention that it riled up some of the Brexiteers:

What’s the real reason behind Joe Biden’s Brexit threats?

Joe Biden clearly didn’t write the statement on Brexit and borders himself. Left to what remains of his own devices, Biden often rambles like a drunk on a park bench.

The author seems upset.

Also the DailyFail chimes in: US envoy rejects threat from Joe Biden that Boris Johnson’s Brexit bill could harm trade deal with ‘our friend’ the UK
which is mostly an apologetics piece for what Johnson is doing and tries to present the Trump reps (like the ambassador) as supporting Johnson.

Why are these people really upset with Biden?

Because it’s clear that Johnson is creating a mess - he inherited a mess (a mess he desired anyway) - but he’s made more a mess of it.

The reality is that it is not in the best interest of the US, as far as trade is concerned, to roll over for Johnson. Trump only likes Johnson because Trump is a bigot and sees Johnson as true English. But for the US as a whole, our BigAg and BigPharma are pushing hard at knocking down walls into the UK and the British farmers and public know it.

The EU is a bigger trading partner for the US and so we will favor it for our own sake. Brexiteers’ hyper-nationalism is not in the best interest of the US, and it’s only because Trump is a wanna-be strongman new-fascist that the US has not spoken more clearly about this.
