Biden Comes Out of Hiding to Deliver Another Pandering Speech – By Joseph Klein (Front Page Mag) / June 3 2020
Blames Trump more than the rioters for the nationwide violence.
Joe Biden’s descent into pandering to the left wing Democrat base has reached a new low with the speech he delivered at Philadelphia’s City Hall on Tuesday. Instead of focusing on how to stop the rampant violence, destruction and looting across the country that have endangered innocent people of all races and have dishonored the memory of George Floyd, Biden used his speech to blame President Trump. Biden followed the lead of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who had issued an inane joint statement ignoring the violence completely and condemning President Trump’s determination to restore law and order.
“Donald Trump has turned this country into a battlefield riven by old resentments and fresh fears,” Biden said during his speech. “More interested in serving the passions of his base than the needs of the people in his care,” Biden added. “For that’s what the presidency is: a duty of care — to all of us, not just our voters, not just our donors, but all of us.”
Biden has proven that he can deliver nice-sounding platitudes. But Biden has shown little if any care about the safety and security of ordinary Americans of all races, ethnicities, and political persuasions. Instead he played the race card repeatedly.
Biden sarcastically suggested that President Trump should “open the US constitution once in a while.” He mentioned the First Amendment’s protections of “the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition their government for redress and grievances.” Biden should take his own advice and read the entire Constitution if he wants to assume the awesome responsibilities of the presidency. Biden should also read up on how George Washington, the nation’s first president, handled the Whiskey Rebellion. President Washington used the display of overwhelming federal military force to quell an insurrection after the rioters refused to back down. Washington wrote in a letter that he had no choice but to subdue the rioters lest they otherwise would “shake the government to its foundation.” He recognized that the government can only secure the American people’s rights and liberties if it can secure the lives and property of the American people from unrestrained mob violence.
Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution states that the president “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Article IV, Section 4 states: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature can-not be convened) against domestic Violence.”
