The Democrats spent their convention trying to paper over the fact that the party staged a coup to remove a sitting President.
But the tensions eventually boiled over.
And now Joe Biden has just shown everyone what he really thinks about Kamala Harris.
Even liberal pundits know Democrats are faking it during their convention
Joe Biden tried to joke that it was really Donald Trump who was unhinged when Trump said Biden was angry about getting ousted as the Democrat Party nominee for President.

But even Biden’s allies in the media knew that was bull.
Liberal pundit Chris Cillizza said the celebratory atmosphere the Democrats put on for their convention about how Biden stepped aside for the good of the country was all fake.
“I know the storyline coming out of that July 21st announcement was that he did what was good for the country, he put country over party. Sort of. I think it’s really important to be transparent about what happened,” Cillizza stated.

Cillizza explained that the reality of the situation was that Biden showed he was senile in the June 27 debate and after finally realizing he couldn’t win, Democrats gave up on him.
“Joe Biden had a terrible debate; it was clear he was not going to be able to win the race…And then he dropped out. And he dropped out because he was under massive pressure to drop out,” Cillizza added.
Cillizza said the reality is actions speak louder than words both on the Democrat Party and Joe Biden’s part.
Convention organizers made sure Joe Biden spoke as close to midnight as possible to make sure the smallest possible TV audience saw his speech in order to minimize the link between Kamala and Biden’s failed administration.
“I do think it is telling that Joe Biden, after he gives the speech on Monday night, will leave Chicago, not participate in any more of the convention and go on a vacation in California … It’s hard to get further away, right? … There’s symbolism there, right? He was pushed out,” Cillizza continued.
But more importantly, Biden also showed he was stewing over the coup.
Cillizza revealed that Biden never thought Kamala could beat Trump and he’s livid over how quickly the party embraced Kamala once he dropped out.
“He has spent the last three weeks, or month, watching a person who he did not think was capable of winning this presidency surge on the back of excited Democrats who were very unexcited with Biden. That’s a hard pill to swallow; it just is and I think it’s okay to acknowledge it,” Cillizza added.
Cillizza described Biden as “pissed” and felt that he’s not really passing the torch to Kamala as Biden fled Chicago as soon as his speech ended and refused to stick around for her coronation.
“Joe Biden is pissed. He wanted his legacy to end differently. Doesn’t mean he won’t give a good speech tonight, doesn’t mean he will not be roundly applauded, which he will,” Cillizza declared ahead of Biden’s speech.
“But I think it’s really important to note he’s a human being, and what has transpired over the last two months is really, really, really difficult. And the fact that he’s shuttling out of the convention on Monday night after he gives the speech is super, super telling,” Cillizza concluded.
