Unforgettable Denial of Reality
The intensity of the denials by the White House and its allies of last week’s devastatingly succinct description of the president as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory “ by special counsel Robert Hur is proof that they know it’s true.
The leader of the free world is a fragile ornament, wrapped in cotton wool, protected by aides from falls and gaffes, sheltered by staff (and in Mr. Biden’s case by much of the media) from accountability, gently cocooned from the risk of doing or saying anything he can’t control.
And who could be the Democrats’ savior? If Kamala Harris is unfit, who is fit?
No, the reality denial will have to continue for another nine months. And then, four more years.
