A week ago everybody was angry at Joe Biden for being a selfish, senile old man who was tanking the Democrats' chances of winning the next election.
Today, he is George Washington, or perhaps Cincinnattus.
Joe Biden is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
I am getting whiplash from all the reversals happening so quickly. Usually these narrative shifts take a bit longer.
The same leftist media that turned on Joe Biden and called for him to drop out, are now comparing him to George Washington.

These are also the same leftists who love to paint George Washington as a racist slaveowner.

The level of gaslighting is so far beyond normal that you have to think it is not just coordinated--it obviously is--but also part of the deal that was cut with Joe Biden. The Joe Biden the American people have gotten to know is selfish, intellectually underpowered, incompetent, nasty, and senile.
His great accomplishment is answering all the questions!
Joe will forever go down in history as someone who answered all the questions, and he should be incredibly proud of that pic.twitter.com/3FMxMAc6Ft

The assertion that Biden did something special by stepping out of the race is beyond ridiculous. He had literally no chance to get reelected, so he is not giving up anything. Not one damn thing.
WATCH: Fox’s @brithume on Joe Biden’s adress to the nation: “To hear the President tell it, he was fine with re-election and thought he could win the race until some time between Saturday night and Sunday morning when it dawned on him apparently that it is time for a new… pic.twitter.com/DOwA1tVRXr

In fact, he is retaining what power he can--after all, he clearly should resign or be pushed out. He doesn't have the mental capacity or physical stamina to do the job, but he selfishly is trying to squeeze out what little juice he can from his position as the most powerful man on Earth.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid gushing over Biden’s dropout address: “This was selfless on a level, I think, that's important in a way that we talk about George Washington being selfless.”

In other words, he is doing exactly the opposite of "giving up power." It will have to be pried out of his cold, dead hands if he can help it. He had zero choice about "giving up power" because it was going to be either taken away by the voters or by the Democrat Party itself. It's not like Biden was going to serve another four years in any conceivable circumstances.
Biden was subjected to a coup and now the Democrats who overturned the primary election results and ousted him are making him out to be some paragon of democracy. That’s rich. https://t.co/GWWLi7QvDu

This past couple of weeks have been historic, and history is being rewritten before our eyes. Years-old web pages are being rewritten or even wiped off the internet; Kamala Harris was never the Border Czar; Joe Biden is a towering historical figure; the economy is amazing...
What next?
Does anybody buy this crap?
History being made, a rare political leader who gives up power. https://t.co/GyCrScQhhz

Most people who hear all this will not believe it, but some of it will stick: the idea that Biden "gave up power." That is what they want to plant in people's minds because they are going to use that idea to undermine Trump.
Joe Biden gave up power willingly; Donald Trump did not. That is their message.
I told you the unofficial deal with Biden dropping out was if he drops out the media will lather and rinse him as one of America's greatest patriots since George Washington.

If he was still in this race, they would be leaking zoom calls and medical reports and anonymous staff…
The Democrats are getting a two-fer out of this line. They are patting Joe Biden on the head, assuring him that they will rewrite history to make him one of the greats. And they are planting in everybody's mind that Democrats, unlike Republicans, respect the limits we place on the power of the president.
same for the contrast between our two parties

Republicans follow a repulsive, dishonest, racist fraudster happy for people to die in his attempt to negate the will of American voters
Democrats follow someone willing to set his ambition aside for the good of the country
Biden the president, Donald Trump the dictator-in-waiting.
Watch them do it. It is obvious once you see it.
More like the Sermon on the Mount. Let's not underplay it. https://t.co/KKL6gxUGgi
