The week in whoppers: Biden’s MAGA double-talk, Hillary’s email revisionism and more

Spot the distinction:

— vs. —

“I don’t take into account any Trump supporter a risk to the nation.” 

— President Biden, Sept. 2

We are saying: Credit score the president with a minimum of understanding the way to use either side of his mouth to speak out of.


This tweet:

We are saying: Telling bald-faced lies has been commonplace working process for each Hillary and Invoice Clinton going all the way in which again to Whitewater and the “I didn't have intercourse with that girl”/Monica Lewinsky scandal. The reality? Hillary maintained tens of 1000's of emails on her personal server, in violation of federal guidelines. And, as Jonathan Turley notes in The Put up, the Justice Division inspector normal discovered “81 electronic mail chains containing roughly 193 particular person emails” that have been “categorised from the CONFIDENTIAL to TOP SECRET ranges.” To not point out the tens of 1000's she had destroyed, additionally in violation of guidelines.


This slur:

“The pool of respectable conservatives is shallow.”

— New York Occasions columnist Charles Blow, Monday

We are saying: Or perhaps . . . Blow is shallow. In his Occasions column, the scribe really faults Biden for making an attempt to restrict “semi-fascists” and people he says embrace “excessive ideology” to simply “MAGA Republicans”; Blow thinks all Republicans who voted for Donald Trump “should be known as out.” That’s proper: 74 million People — a lot of whom most likely reject Biden and his supporters (like Blow) for their very own “excessive ideology.”


This declare:

We are saying: Truly, the scientific proof that masking on NYC subways — which was what Jha was commenting on — does any good in any respect towards COVID is at finest debatable. Quite a few research have failed to point out any profit from group masking, and even the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention take into account material or surgical masks the least efficient towards the bug. No surprise so many individuals mistrust authorities recommendation on the coronavirus. 


This tweet:

We are saying: Dissing the monetary sector might rev up his progressive base, however Biden was solely too comfortable to take Wall Avenue’s 2020 donations, which have been 2½ instances what it gave to President Donald Trump (per People for Monetary Reform). In the meantime, MAGA Republicans by no means claimed Wall Avenue constructed the nation. Extra necessary, with out Wall Avenue — and its willingness to danger capital — there’d be a complete lot fewer “working folks” . . . working.
