Was John Kennedy ever babied like that?” reads the new book, The Last Politician by Atlantic writer Franklin Foer. The incident was reportedly provoked by staffers at the White House who immediately walked back a comment Biden made in March 2022, when he said Russian president Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

The book claims Biden “resented his aides for creating the impression that they had cleaned up his mess.”

[If that’s the case, stop cleaning up after him. Let Biden take the full brunt of the consequences of his own words and actions. Maybe he’ll learn to stop lying and contradicting himself, or if not that, perhaps he’ll realize how stupid he actually is and learn to shut up. — Ed]
