Biden In Buffalo

The White House announced yesterday that President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are traveling to Buffalo, New York, today to comfort the families of the victims of Saturday's mass shooting. That is exactly what a president should do after such horrible events. 

The quickness with which the White House moved to get Biden there is impressive. What is inexplicable, however, is why the Biden White House is so selective in responding to hate crimes. 

Six months ago, a black man with a long record of anti-white racism drove into people participating in a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He deliberately mowed people down, killing six and injuring more than 60, including many children. There is no doubt this was a hate crime.

But no matter how hard the Biden White House tried, they just couldn't find the time to get Joe to Waukesha to comfort those victims. Ten days after the horrific parade attack, Biden flew to Rosemont, Minnesota, just over 300 miles from Waukesha. But the White House couldn't figure out a way to make a little detour to comfort middle American families attacked by a black hater.

Joe Biden didn't go to Waukesha because it didn't help the left's effort to label half the country as bigots and haters. Going to Waukesha would be acknowledging that bigotry exists in every racial group, and that hate crimes come in all colors. 

But the horrible crime in Buffalo is seen by the left as a perfect opportunity to launch disgusting attacks on conservatives, which is exactly why Biden is there today.
