A Legacy of Division and Corruption

Less than two months into his term, Joe Biden met privately with a group of presidential historians to discuss with them his goal of forging a legacy as one of the country’s most consequential chief executives ever. This meeting came shortly after his inaugural address framed squarely around the theme of unity.

Biden lectured his masked-up minions, “Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together. Uniting our people. And uniting our nation. I ask every American to join me in this cause. Uniting to fight the common foes we face: Anger, resentment, hatred…We can join forces, stop the shouting, and lower the temperature. For without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury. No progress, only exhausting outrage. No nation, only a state of chaos. This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward.”

How’s that unity and legacy thing going, Joe?

One year ago, Biden talked down to half the nation, calling 74 million Trump voters “semi-fascis[ts],” and told his “inner circle” he wanted the former president “prosecuted” over January 6.

Since then, with Biden slidin’ in the polls, his Justice Department went after his lead opponent in the next election for alleged crimes that Biden himself committed – interfering in an election (Hunter laptop anyone?) and mishandling classified documents (see Corvette and Penn-China Center). Ditto for Hillary (see Steele Dossier and private email server)

The same Biden DOJ offered a get-out-of-jail-free misdemeanor plea deal to his son that collapsed immediately once its terms were revealed in his home-state courthouse. That deal would have allowed Hunter to skate on all further investigations into his overseas business deals the same time as an FBI informant, WhatsApp messages and his partner’s own testimony uncovered the Bidens’ “brand” of shady multi-million-dollar $hakedowns in just about every country where Joe ran policy under Obama.

And Biden’s DOJ also prevented two career IRS agents looking into Hunter’s finances from asking anything about Joe’s involvement in his business or if he was indeed the Big Guy.

Joe calls January 6 an “armed insurrection” worthy of a two-year partisan investigation, yet sings a different tune on the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots that killed close to twenty Americans (most of them Black) and caused over a billion dollars of damage in dozens of cities, including an attack on the White House where thugs tried storming the building and injured more than 60 Secret Service officers with bricks, rocks, bottles and fireworks in the process. 

Against this backdrop, Biden and his regime media allies call Trump the “divider-in-chief.” Yet less than two weeks after he was elected in 2016, Trump announced his administration would not prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified documents and destroying evidence with hammers and bleach

In doing so, Trump faced strong criticism from many of his supporters, who had made “lock her up” a staple chant at his campaign rallies. Trump noted that by not prosecuting Clinton, “we in many ways will save our country,” and that doing so “would be very, very divisive for the country.” Strange behavior for a divider-in-chief.

Make no mistake – given the last two weeks of hypocrisy and double-speak from Team Biden while it wages law on the former president and disavows Joe’s central, speakerphone-shouting role in Hunter’s “overseas business dealings,” Joe can skip the confab with presidential chroniclers and simply own up to his real legacy as one of the most divisive and corrupt presidents in history.
