The Real Reason Biden Deserves Grief over Car-a-Lago

I’ll open with a statement that will probably piss off my mostly conservative audience: The Joe Biden classified-documents scandal is mostly a nothing-burger. But so was the Donald Trump classified-documents “scandal.” The massive media double standards that we observed during coverage of the two situations, however, aren’t a nothing-burger at all; they’re a real problem that we should call out and mock whenever possible, and that affect how fairly we can treat poor old Uncle Joe.

As we heard endlessly for weeks a month or two back, dastardly former president Donald Trump committed the potential felony of taking classified docs home from his former office and workstation, the White House. The national reaction to Orange Man’s possession of the wrong yellow folders bordered on “Red Wedding.” The FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home/hotel and seized the papers in question. Media speculation approached hysteria, with some outlets noting that Trump might have mishandled material bearing on global nuclear security. At least one million-follower Twitter account began publicly referring to the former POTUS as a “nuclear spy.”
