Never Forgive Democrats for the Lies They Told You

I get it; politicians lie. That’s like saying beer drinkers burp or fish swim – it’s just how life is. But some lies are unforgivable, and the lies Democrats told last year fall in that category.

Democrats, in and out of the media, not only swore that Joe Biden was “the best Biden ever,” they insisted that even suggesting anything to the contrary was ageism, outrageous, and heresy. They attacked you, us, for the simple act of noticing reality. 

They denied that reality insisted it wasn’t so, and attempted to destroy people for pointing it out. And they did it all with a smug sense of holier-than-thou-ism for the record books. 

Now, they’re retroactively on board with all of it. All the monologues, tweets, op-eds…it’s like they never happened – the eternal sunshine of the spotless campaign. 

In the new book “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” they recount last year's events in a way that is both entertaining and like it’s from another planet. I remember the previous year vividly. And I bet you do, too.

No one from the outlets the two authors work for, let alone them, dared whisper what they’re now screaming from the mountaintops to sell books, not one of them. It takes a while to write a book, and the sources they used for this one are people they’ve known and talked to for years and years, which begs the question: when did they first start hearing about Biden’s slipping? Further, why didn’t they report it when they heard it? It sure as hell was long before now.

And the shows they go on to promote the book – especially Morning Joe – are all pretend curious about the “revelations” they helped perpetuate. If they’d had their way, gotten away with lying, the President of the United States may well be a dementia patient inflicting God knows what on the country. 

The question of what they knew and when they knew it will never be answered because they won’t go near anyone who’d dare ask it. The same safe space that enveloped Joe Biden is where they live – the left takes care of their own, always. Who would ask them – any of them – why they protected Biden and for how long, Rachel Maddow? Wolf Blitzer? They were all in it, every last one of them.

These people attacked anyone who dared point out the obvious, and they did it with a sense of self-righteousness unrivaled in the annals of history. We were the problem; we were the liars. There were “deepfakes” and “cheap fakes,” things taken out of context to “make Joe look bad.” 

When he tripped over a sandbag, it was something anyone would have done, not an old man not noticing a bag out in the open in broad daylight. Remember when Joe froze at the “Juneteenth celebration” at the White House? It was nothing, we were told, but now it was one of many such instances. The frozen moment at that Hollywood fundraiser, the one where Barack Obama had to grab his wrist and help him off stage – the one where the left really went all out on demanding anyone who dared question Joe’s mental state was some sort of enemy of the states – is described as it really was: a problem for Democrats.

When nothing is left in it for them to cover up for their politicians, they will tell the truth…for money. 

According to the book, Barack and Michelle Obama never liked Kamala Harris. Neither did Nancy Pelosi. Everyone was working behind the scenes to shove her out the window and pick anyone else. None of them thought she could win. Yet, none of this was reported at the time. Not that it wasn’t known at the time; it just wasn’t reported. There’s a significant difference. 

The people making the most money off the lies are the ones who perpetrated them the whole time. In an honest industry, these stories would’ve been told in real-time so the American people could’ve been informed and made decisions fully educated. Were they honest, they would’ve won awards for their journalism. But journalism is not an honest industry. They won’t win awards; they’ll just get big, fat checks, which almost anyone would take over a Lucite block with their name laser-etched.

Either way, never forget what they did, don’t ignore what they’re doing by pretending they were honest now, and never forgive them for any of it. Most importantly, never trust them again. Book tours like these farewell tours should be made for their credibility and their careers.
