Joe Biden gets emotional during South Carolina town hall when asked about faith

As CPAC opens, Rep. Dan Crenshaw releases video attacking socialism
As conservatives gathered in Maryland on Wednesday for the start of the annual CPAC conference, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, posted a video touching on the theme of this year's event: "America vs. Socialism."
"Socialism doesn't work because it removes human incentive," Crenshaw argues in the post.
The first-term congressman, 35, further defends capitalism, arguing that socialism forces people to work, takes their wages and infringes on their freedoms -- while its proponents claim those things are done "for the sake of the commune."

Obama demands TV stations yank "despicable" ad about Biden
Attorneys for former President Obama are sending a cease-and-desist letter demanding that South Carolina broadcast stations stop airing a misleading ad from a pro-Donald Trump super PAC that makes it sound like Obama is criticizing his former vice president, Joe Biden.
The ad is part of $250,000 in spending by The Committee to Defend the President. It misuses a snippet from an audio version of Mr. Obama's book "Dreams from My Father" to make it sound as though Obama is criticizing Biden's support of the black community. He's actually recalling...
