Lame Duck Lies

Joe Biden went on nationwide TV last night in a prime time address to the American people. He said that he would always tell us the truth, and then proceeded to tell us a litany of lies.

We thought we were going to get an explanation as to why he suddenly changed his mind about running for reelection. Instead, we got a partisan and divisive speech without one word about his health. The only “explanation” Biden offered was that he was stepping down to “pass the torch to a new generation.”

Nobody believes that. It wasn’t that long ago, when Biden emphatically declared:

“Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can and as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running. I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party. No one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end.”

How did we go from that to “passing the torch” so quickly? I guarantee you, it wasn’t Biden’s decision. That was a speech he never wanted to give but was forced to give because he was “pushed out.” That’s how the Soviet Politburo operated.

Biden also prattled on and on about “saving our democracy.” The audacity! The irony! He’s just been the victim of a coup that disenfranchised millions of primary voters and installed a candidate no one voted for! Yet he’s lecturing the rest of us about “democracy.”

Biden condemned political violence. But he has stoked political violence with his over-the-top, demonizing rhetoric aimed at conservatives and pro-life activists. But while he was speaking, political violence was taking place on Capitol Hill.
