Biden Calls TN Gunman "Perverted Jihadist," Despite Lack of Evidence 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Vice President Joe Biden has called the gunman who killed four marines
and a sailor at a Tennessee reserve center last month a "perverted
jihadist," even though officials say they still don't know the motive
for the shooting. The FBI has said there's no evidence Muhammad Youssef
Abdulazeez was motivated by ISIL. He also suffered from mental illness
and was preparing for bankruptcy. Joe Biden made the remarks at a
memorial to the slain servicemembers on Saturday.

Vice President Joe Biden: "When this perverted jihadist struck, everyone
responded — marines and sailors moving from room to room helping
fellow warriors to safety."

Joe Biden is said to be weighing a run for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
