While running for president, Joe Biden pointed out that “the words of a president matter. They can move markets. They can send our brave men and women to war. They can bring peace.” That sentiment about the weight of the words of a president was meant to be a slight against Donald Trump, yet after last week, it seems that they were really a warning about him—and everyone who voted for him should have known better.
Within a matter of days, Biden suggested that NATO would use chemical weapons against Russia, told U.S. troops they were going to Ukraine, and inadvertently called for regime change.
It’s unlikely that Biden understood the severity of his off-script words or the effort it took the White House to clean up after him—particularly after he insisted that Putin “cannot remain in power.”
While many on the right saw this as a sign that it is time to have a serious discussion about invoking the 25th Amendment, the mainstream media did its best to downplay what happened.
Here at PJ Media, we won’t turn a blind eye to Joe Biden nearly dragging us into another World War. And by joining PJ Media VIP, you can help us counter Biden’s influential cheerleaders in the mainstream media who care more about protecting him than anything else.
Can you believe that Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson claimed that Biden’s ad-lib about Putin wasn’t a gaffe? Despite claiming so, he nevertheless suggested that “a White House sound engineer should cut Biden’s microphone whenever he strays from prepared remarks.”
Some of Biden’s supporters in the media have even suggested that Biden’s gaffe wasn’t just a good thing but also Biden’s finest hour. Former CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller praised Biden’s regime-change gaffe, insisting that it “tops Reagan’s 1987 ‘tear down this wall’ speech.” Bill Kristol also made the same comparison, as did the notorious anti-Trump former conservative Jennifer Rubin, who claimed, “Biden makes a speech akin to those at the Brandenburg Gate by JFK and Reagan. In a square with a crowd. His delivery is quite strong.”
If you’re laughing, you’re not alone. But this isn’t actually funny. This is the media going to extreme lengths to defend the indefensible.
Make no mistake about it: the media will always cover for Joe Biden. They will spin his most dangerous gaffe into historic moments of leadership and resolve. They’ll prop Biden up as a strong and confident leader, hoping it will become true if they repeat the lie often enough. We can’t let that happen, and we need your help to get the facts out.
