Biden went into full theater mode last night, and our editors are here to tell you that they were not impressed. According to MBD, “This is a very Biden speech. On the one hand, it framed itself as totally moderate . . . but it also has the ‘they’re gonna put you all back in chains’ element of Biden’s discourse.”
“Biden and Trump have, in effect, a symbiotic relationship,” Rich said. “Biden wants the midterms to be about Trump, to the extent that’s possible . . . and I see this speech substantively, in really important respects, it was totally indefensible. Obviously, what Trump is doing with his election denial is poisonous, and should be denounced, but the way Biden made the case was hypocritical and over the top.”
Phil chimes in to say that it was a ”miscalculation politically,” and Charlie called it “farcical.”
Not content to just aim their rhetorical fire at Biden, the editors open up on Democrats at large over their involvement in school Covid lockdowns. New stats are out, showing the dreadful drop in math and reading levels due to untenable policies kept in place by illogical, fear-mongering teachers’ unions, among others. Though they may claim otherwise, these groups undoubtedly had a hand in this educational meltdown.
“I think we all know who was on what side in this dispute,” Charlie said. “This is one of the defining political divides of the last two years.”
Finally, our foursome takes on the multifaceted discussion around Blake Masters and the direction of the GOP. Disagreements, concurrences, and speculations abound. Listen below.
