OPINION:
President Biden recently flew to Minnesota to push his social welfare spending plan, but Air Force One should have landed in Milwaukee so his entourage would have been obliged to travel to Waukesha, just 20 miles west of the airport.
The purpose of this sidebar trip would have been to comfort the families of the dead and injured from the despicable, murderous action taken by a man during a Christmas parade nearly two weeks ago.
Biden flew to Kenosha, Wisconsin, to meet with the family of the individual involved in a knife-brandishing incident that sparked that city’s rioting last year. But he refuses to visit white families in Waukesha.
Had a white man driven into a parade of predominantly Black people, killing and injuring those individuals with reckless abandonment, our leftist mainstream media would have gone apoplectic labeling him a white supremacist. Democrats would be losing their minds. Street riots would commense, with buildings ablaze, and store looting by hoards of roaming thugs would be the order of the day.
But dealing with and objectively reporting on the deaths and injuries of whites at the hands of a Black individual do not fit either the narrative of the corrupt media or the “woke” Democrats. So they sweep it under the rug.
