Rosie O’Donnell is jumping into the anti-Joe Biden camp in regards to the 2020 Democratic primaries, saying she thinks the former Vice President’s time in politics has passed.

“I think that Joe Biden should say, ‘I’m going to sit this one out. I’m going to be an elder statesman and I’m gonna advise,'” O’Donnell said in a recent interview with CNN. “And then whoever is the nominee, I think, should think about how to best use somebody with the experience that Joe Biden has and all these years in politics. But he’s not the future of the Democratic Party and I think we have now until we get a nominee to figure out who that person is. And in my opinion, it’s either Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris.”

“I’m really for Elizabeth Warren. I think her plans that she has for just about everything and all that she did with the big banks and corporate shakedowns,” she continued. “She was a leader in so many ways and still is and I think she is formidable against Trump and all of the money that she’s raised from non-lobbies. It’s pretty astounding to me what she’s been able to do.”

I guess Rosie believes the future of the party is with the transracial set and as a self-identifying Cherokee, “Fauxcahontas” certainly fits the bill.

What’s Rosie’s issue with Biden?

While going all in for Sen. Elizabeth Warren she goes on to explain that her problem with Joe Biden is he’s — wait for it — too old for office.

“He’s antiquated in a lot of his thinking, a lot of his beliefs, a lot of his history is a long time ago,” she said. “And I feel like it is time to pass the torch as Eric Swalwell said. It is time to pass the torch.”

“I don’t think 80 years old is an age to be starting a presidential job. I think you have to be 35 and there should an ending point … Your time has passed in terms of being president of the United States. That’s my personal opinion.”

Who wants to tell Rosie her candidate of choice is twice the age of a 35-year-old and only six-and-a-half years younger than the fuddy-duddy, Joe Biden?

As per usual, Rosie likes to say things that sound thoughtful, but clearly, she hasn’t thought through the logic.
