Less than two weeks before Election Day 2020, Jill Biden famously tweeted that “Empathy is on the ballot.” That has turned out to be less than true, and you don’t have to be the seventh Biden grandchild to realize it.
Less than two weeks before Election Day 2020, Jill Biden famously tweeted: “Empathy is on the ballot.” Her message was that her husband, then-candidate Joe Biden, had traits that allowed him to feel and understand the pain people experience in times of great heartache, tragedy and stress.
Interrupted during a bike ride while on vacation in Delaware, he said, “We’re looking at it,” when asked if he intended to travel to Hawaii. Later that day, after spending several hours on the beach, he was asked if he had anything to say about the rising death toll, and he said, “No comment.” Nevertheless, the main thrust of the media coverage of Mr. Biden’s ambivalence about the Hawaiian natural disaster was that it was those pesky Republicans who were the problem. In the latest version of the “Republicans pounce” media narrative, large news organizations decided it was better to report on who was criticizing Mr. Biden, rather than on what they were criticizing.
You see, the goal here in the media is to make Republicans the bad guys, no matter the circumstances.
