If The Media Insisted On Calling Trump A Liar, That Standard Must Be Applied To Biden’s Corruption Lies
It's hard to think of a more categorical denial than the one Biden issued in August 2019 about his role in his son's business dealings.
"There wasn't any hint of scandal at all when we were there. And I will impose the same kind of strict, strict rules. That is why I have never talked with my son or my brother, or anyone else in the distant family about their business interests, period." The House Oversight Committee has compiled another 15 more explicit denials from Biden during his campaign, and as recently as last year, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was issuing more blanket denials on his behalf.
Devon Archer, Hunter's business partner, has talked extensively and publicly about Joe Biden being involved in his son's lucrative dealings with corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs and business deals tied to China's repressive communist government.
Victor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor Joe Biden got fired while Shokin was investigating the Ukrainian gas company that was paying Biden's son a million dollars a year, has recently come forward with more damning details about what was going on.
Even the Democrat hacks in Congress, such as Dan Goldman whom corporate media called out for misrepresenting what Archer said about Biden, now concede that Joe was playing along with his son to only sell the "Illusion of access" rather than a blatant quid pro quo.
Consider for a moment the irony that, whether or not the issue of foreign aid to Ukraine was being used as leverage, Trump was asking about an investigation into Biden family corruption in Ukraine that now appears wholly merited.
Of course, the problem with Biden's lying goes well beyond the issues of foreign corruption; the issue of character and personal flaws was one that was frequently hung around Trump's neck.
"With Biden, people have decided these are not the kind of lies that matter. These are the kinds of lies that people's grandfathers tell." It would have been nice if the Times clarified that Alterman was a longtime columnist for lefty magazines such as Mother Jones and The Nation and not some dispassionate academic.
Regardless, Biden's damnable lies are far worse than grampy whiling away time on the porch spinning the yarns that make up the colorful tapestry of his personal folklore.
Ultimately, it's hard to tell whether voters have decided Biden's lies don't matter when so many people are working to obscure them.
Shouting "What about Trump?" is not an acceptable way to avoid acknowledging the obvious extent of Biden's corruption and his rank dishonesty about it.
