Hypocrisy
Former President Donald
Trump and his allies objected to the 2020 election results after dozens of
allegations of fraud. Although the courts later determined the results of the
election were legitimate, the 45th president did the right thing by
making sure only legal votes counted. He and his team protected election
integrity. Still, Democrats mocked and attacked their efforts.
In the aftermath of
the 2020 election, Conservatives across the country wanted to make sure that
chaos never happened again. GOP lawmakers passed laws to strengthen election
security to ensure it was almost impossible to commit fraud. Democrats also
attacked that, and they’ve been trying to overturn the laws by passing a
federal voting rights law. Joe Biden has now implied the up-coming
midterms might not be legitimate.
Hypocrisy on Display
During one of his rare
press conferences on January 19, a reporter asked Biden if he believes the 2022
midterm results would be legitimate. Instead of saying “yes” as was expected,
Biden tried to undermine democracy by saying, “I’m not saying it’s going to be
legit.” He went on to say that legitimacy of the results depends on whether the
federal voting rights act is passed. Without the reforms, he believes the
Republican Party is rigging the races.
The same day Biden made the
remarks, Senate Democrats failed to pass two measures that would have allowed
them to push the voting rights legislation through, including killing the
filibuster. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) refused to
join their party’s efforts to pass the bill that would have stripped the states
of many election powers. Republicans have said the Left wants to make it easier
for people to cheat, allowing Democrats to win at the polls.
In a
statement after the votes, Biden admitted defeat, saying he was “profoundly
disappointed.”
Ironically,
when Republicans raised concerns about elections in 2020, they were told they
were trying to destroy the Republic and undermine the country. But, it’s
totally fine when Biden does it before a vote is even cast.
Do
you think Joe Biden’s remarks demonstrate the hypocrisy on the Left?
