In the early days of my career in journalism I worked with a guy who covered a high school football game for our newspaper, touching off a week-long run of corrections.
He had the wrong names for touchdown scorers – on both teams as I recall. He had other incorrect names, statistics, etc. and, as subscribers read the daily corrections, they felt moved to call and ask that even more misinformation be corrected.
It was a journalistic joke considering that the guy was a professional sportswriter. But at least he wasn’t this nation’s president.
Make no mistake, we have a similarly fact-challenged type in the Oval Office. Every time he opens his mouth, Joe Biden’s cringing staff spends ensuing hours, days, even weeks, trying to clear up that what Joe said wasn’t exactly the way he should have said it.
It occurs to me that Bumbling Joe is so fond of illegal immigrants because just like most of them, he speaks English very badly as a second language. Biden’s first language is greed, which he and his family speak fluently.
When it comes to Biden and English, not so much.
In recent weeks, Biden apologists and surrogates have had the impossible task of maintaining that Biden wasn’t calling opponents to his voting rights power grab racists, even though he said they were lining up behind racists. It’s an insignificant distinction, but one Biden’s staff and lapdog media members tried to make.
It seems they’ve failed to do so with any but the most blind and tone-deaf Biden loyalists.
Biden went back to the matter of racists and voting reform in his press conference two days ago, a session notable for its length and more Biden gaffes.
The leader of the Democratic political party, which sees Russians under their beds and behind every ill in the world, laid a verbal egg when he said a “minor incursion” by Russians into Ukraine would leave him uncertain of what to do.
The words were barely out of his mush-mouth when outraged reactions began. So did the clarifications that have become so common that they follow a set theme, to wit: Never mind what Biden SAID, here’s what he MEANT!
We shouldn’t be surprised at this from a guy who showed up at a rally during his presidential campaign, introduced himself, and proclaimed he was running for Senate.
Biden’s malaprops and misstatements were mildly amusing when he was a political sideshow. Now that he holds the fate of this nation in his trembling hands, it’s not so funny.
In this same press conference Wednesday, Biden questioned the legitimacy of the upcoming midterm elections if his proposal for federal election over-reach is not passed by Congress, and it won’t be passed.
Understand that Democrats questioning the legitimacy of elections is old hat and hailed by the leftists.
Hillary Clinton could not accept her defeat by Donald Trump and all these many years later, had the incredibly pathetic egomania to go public reading her “victory” speech that she never got to give.
Clinton was and is celebrated by left-wing types for her ongoing delusion.
Earlier this month, when Biden hypocritically blasted Trump for questioning the past presidential election and called it a case of Trump and his followers “holding a dagger” to the throat of democracy, it was accepted as fair commentary.
To sum up, Trump questioning results of an election that featured videotape of suitcases full of ballots emerging and being run through scanners after observers had been sent home, an election that also followed a strange counting path that statisticians say is so improbable as to be virtually impossible, is a threat to democracy.
Hillary, with no reason other than the disproved Russian interference theory that her campaign funded, can question Trump’s win without any fear of backlash.
Now Biden isn’t even waiting for results and instead is questioning in advance our next major national election. Translation: If Democrats lose a lot of Congressional elections, as the polls indicate is a very likely outcome, Biden and his gang of lackeys will take to their usual media outlets to question the results and the legitimacy of the winners.
Anyone with more than a scintilla of intelligence understands that you cannot in good conscience play both sides of this argument. If it is wrong for opponents to question the results of elections that you are said to have won, it’s just as wrong for you to question when the results indicate the other side prevailed.
More hypocrisy from liberals. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you; just as shocked as when Biden said he’s “outperformed” so far in his presidency.
The man needs help. With him in charge, we all need help.
