The Republican National Convention began on Monday, August 24, and as state delegates took their turns casting their votes for a Presidential candidate, one man from Louisiana made headlines with his strange rant against Joe Biden.
Delegate Ross Little Jr. started his remarks by saying regulations on oil companies were putting the industry "under the yoke of bondage."

It's pretty hard to imagine Joe Biden as a terrifying bogeyman.
