OPINION:
Last Thursday’s presidential debate between senile President Biden and former President Donald Trump demonstrates two major realities the Democrats still refuse to face (“Resolution in the works to call on Kamala Harris to use 25th Amendment to remove Biden,” web, June 28).
Thomas Friedman of The New York Times acknowledged that Mr. Biden should step aside, but prefaced it with “Biden is a good man and a good president.” Unfortunately, neither of these is true.
A good man does not spread lies about his opponent, shake down foreign leaders through his son for financial gain, or refuse to acknowledge a granddaughter. A good man does not disparage half the population of the country. Finally, a good man does not facilitate the sex and drug trafficking now pouring across our borders.
A good president does not bankrupt half the country in the name of climate change, financially support our enemies while undercutting our allies, or accept huge donations and then reward donors with billions of dollars in government contracts. A good president doesn’t open the borders to millions of people and then support the illegals with taxpayer money. A good president doesn’t censor opposition thought or rule by executive fiat.
Mr. Biden is representative of the Democratic Party elite’s disdain for the fundamental values that have made America the greatest country in the world. It is ironic that the Democrats say Mr. Trump is a liar. They are the most accomplished liars of all.
