Dems phony grace, Bidens no Jimmy Carterand other commentary

“Democrats on the Hill have been gushing ..

.over their own performance regarding the certification of the outcome of the 2024 election,” notes Mike Mulvaney at The Hill, with no Dem challenging the Republican victory for the first time since 1988.But the self-congratulation for their “grace and elegance” needs context.

“Where was it during the election cycle?”Dems repeatedly called Trump a “fascist” “determined to destroy American democracy.”“And no course on grace and elegance in American politics would be complete without the obligatory Hitler references.”Don’t think it’s changed: “Regarding Biden’s cordial post-election meeting with Trump in the Oval Office, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre assured us that ‘Biden’s thoughts about democracy being under threat’ still applied.”“Which tells me that the vote on certification was more of a political charade than anything else.”At the Jimmy Carter service in DC, “Joe Biden’s eulogy was mainly a reminder of how different the two men were, particularly when it came to honesty and character,” snarks The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly A.Strassel.They faced similar policy challenges: “inflation, energy, crime, global disorder.”But their contrasting characters separate them — “one devoted to country and faith, one to party and self.”“Carter was elected on a promise never to lie to the American people, and he honored it.”“Mr.

Biden promised he wouldn’t pardon his son Hunter” for serious crimes, yet he did it anyway.Despite praising Carter’s “character” in his eulogy, it is obvious Biden hadn’t “learned something from the 39th president’s example.” Subscribe to our daily Post Opinion newsletter!
