Pepperdine public policy fellow: ‘In-your-face nature of falsehoods is stunning’
Joe Biden’s record for making outlandish mistakes when he speaks dates back years. It’s accelerated since he launched his campaign for the presidential election in 2020 and even in office there have been some whoppers.
But now he’s being criticized for statements that represent his administration, those comments that are echoed by others on his team, those that are put forward as the position of the administration.
Like those about his “national strategy” to defeat COVID, about the “secure” southern border, about the “extraordinary success” of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and how the current out-of-control inflation is “temporary.”
These issues were raised by Andy Puzder, a senior fellow at Pepperdine University’s School of Public Policy, at Real Clear Politics.
“President Biden’s approval rating has plummeted, and Democrats wonder why. The United States is facing hardships, but hardships alone don’t make a president unpopular. Leaders who are honest about the problems we face and forthright about the solutions they offer tend to do well (think, say, of Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan). Unfortunately, that is not the leadership Americans are getting from this president,” he explained.
“Instead, the Biden administration has tried to convince the public of things that are not just untrue but implausible. To note a few, Biden did not (and does not) have a ‘national strategy’ to defeat COVID; our southern border is not ‘secure;’ the Afghan withdrawal was not an ‘extraordinary success’; the current bout of inflation is neither ‘temporary’ nor ‘a good thing’; and government spending never takes ‘the pressure off of inflation,'” he explained.
Real American citizens who believe in the Constitution hate evil liars. Biden tops the list as one.
AMEN!!
