And then came an old video of Biden that surfaced on Friday, which caused right-wing Twitter to melt down and claim that its content is even worse than that alleged in The Atlantic article -- because unlike the basis of that article, which were unnamed sources, this is Biden himself, captured on video appearing to denigrate soldiers.
