For months now, an anti-Western intifada movement has plagued American universities, cities, roadways, and even the U.S. Capitol. Yet President Joe Biden feels no pressure from the corrupt corporate media to answer for the radical actions of his left-wing supporters.
Contrast that with the media’s treatment of former President Donald Trump while he was in office. For years, corporate media constantly demanded the Republican condemn what they claimed was “right-wing” racism, white nationalism, and radical groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Trump did so unequivocally multiple times, yet the corporate press repeatedly battered him to do it again.
Even Trump’s distinct denouncement of white supremacy during the 2020 presidential debates was not good enough for media mouthpieces, who dishonestly asserted the 45th president had “refused” to do so.
“He has condemned white supremacy more than any other president in modern history,” then-White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany noted in a press briefing that week, as she was bullied by the press corps to “clear up” the president’s position.
If Trump was persistently pestered by leftist media to explain the actions of radicals they associated with his political party, then why are Democrats including Biden never forced to condemn the extremism of the pro-Hamas protestors openly allied with their party?
The answer is simple. Democrats want the votes of the people blocking traffic and raising Cain on campuses. When a Democrat official like Biden doesn’t execute the radicals’ agenda properly, he is punished with a humiliation campaign that includes a loss of votes.
Corporate media, of course, are happy to help Biden and other Democrats by refusing to pressure them to answer for the violence and destruction wreaked by yet another left-wing voting bloc. If threats, intimidation, and harassment accomplish their political goals, why would they operate any other way?
The same can be said about corporate media and Biden’s approach to the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots. While left-wing rioters rampaged American cities, leaving death and billions of dollars of destruction in its wake, then-presidential candidate Biden sat quietly by. His silence was aided by the corporate media, which not only failed to ask Biden to condemn the violence but also designated the fiery leftist-led riots as “mostly peaceful.”
The only hint of condemnation Biden eventually offered came months into the rule of law crisis, after it had racked up an estimated 30-person death toll. In his statement, Biden blamed Trump and claimed he did not tolerate the radicals wreaking havoc.
“You know me. You know my heart. You know my story, my family’s story. Ask yourself: Do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? Really?” Biden asked in August 2020. Shortly after that, Biden said Democrats don’t need to be “more outspoken” about the violence their supporters were perpetrating for political ends.
The infiltration of our educational institutions, cities, and Congress by terrorist sympathizers is Democrats’ Charlottesville. It’s far worse, actually, because Republicans didn’t tacitly or explicitly support that episode of political violence. Yet Democrats will never be made to answer for it.
Even if corporate media suddenly shed their desire to protect Democrats by failing to pressure them about this issue, it’s clear that Biden and Democrats have chosen a side. Biden isn’t just an innocent bystander who failed to speak up about this pressing political matter. He’s an active participant in spewing Hamas propaganda and urging Congress to send American tax dollars to Gaza.
When protestors in Dearborn, Michigan and New York chanted “Death to America,” all Americans heard from their flailing president and Democrat politicians in Congress was crickets.
The Biden administration’s two-tiered justice system won’t punish or jail intifada vandals and Biden won’t censure American-hating Hamas supporters simply because he doesn’t want to.
