Joe Biden is being called the worst President of the United States in history. As if he wants to cement his position at the bottom of the heap, Biden is poisoning the land on his way out of office. In addition to making the transition as difficult as possible, he is impacting the Democrat Party. In the words of Tyler O’Neil in an article published in The Daily Signal, Biden “seems not to care about how his words and actions will impact his own party as he leaves the Oval Office.”
As Jan. 20 approaches, Biden has taken
drastic actions that will likely harm the Democrats long-term. He has suggested
that he was wrong to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, set ignominious
precedents on pardons, and revealed how the woke elites call the shots on the
Left.
These moves may help him achieve his goals,
but they demonstrate political recklessness.
1. Trashing Kamala Harris
This week, Biden told USA Today that
he would have defeated Donald Trump,
while his own vice president, Kamala Harris, historically fell short….
Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential
race kicking and screaming. While conservatives had rightly raised concerns
about Biden’s health even before he won the 2020 presidential election, much of
the legacy media and the White House had repeatedly brushed aside any concerns.
The denials reached a fever pitch early last year, when White House staff tried
to make Americans think Biden was secretly doing cartwheels between his
doddering public appearances.
When the president froze and stumbled
through a debate with Trump in late June, the jig was up. The legacy media
turned on a dime, letting loose the floodgates of concern about the health of a
man they had recently sworn was vigorous and spry.
Even so, Biden insisted he would remain in
the race….
Even if it were true that Biden might have
beaten Trump, the president does damage to his party by saying it. That keeps
the party focused on recriminations, rather than charting its path forward.
2. The Ignominious Pardon of Hunter
Biden also weakened his own party by
pardoning his son Hunter.
The president didn’t just pardon his son,
however. He issued a blanket pardon not only for crimes Hunter Biden had been
found guilty of, but also for “offenses against the United States which he …
may have committed or taken part in” during a nearly 11-year period.
This pardon didn’t just enable the first
son to avoid prison time; it also aimed to prevent the incoming Trump Justice
Department from bringing any other case against Hunter Biden during the time in
question….
Biden made history in the worst way with
an overbroad pardon, but in doing so, he also managed to highlight the serious
corruption questions involving Hunter Biden – and some of those questions also
implicate Joe Biden himself.
For a party that claims to care about
democracy and the rule of law, defending all of that is a horrible look.
3. Honoring George Soros
The Democrats touted Biden as the moderate
option in 2020, but it is no secret that the president has governed as a
hard-left ideologue.
The Biden-Harris administration’s woke
record was arguably the major factor in alienating voters last year. Biden
launched “whole of government” efforts to push transgender orthodoxy, climate
alarmism, and “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” His administration pressured
Big Tech to stifle dissent on COVID-19, prosecuted pro-life protesters while
turning a blind eye to pro-abortion vandals, and spent lavishly on “green”
initiatives while Americans struggled to make ends meet amid inflation.
That record helped Trump defeat Harris in
November, and Biden is doubling down on it.
Last weekend, Biden awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom – the highest civilian honor – to none other than
George Soros. Soros, a Hungarian American billionaire, notoriously funded the “rogue
prosecutor” movement, supporting soft-on-crime district attorneys who have
emboldened criminals by refusing to charge certain crimes. Soros has also
bankrolled much of the activist Left through his Open Society Foundations,
which his son Alex now runs. Fittingly, Alex Soros received the medal on behalf
of his father….
By awarding Soros the Presidential Medal
of Freedom, Biden was making clear what many Americans already suspected – that
Soros is one of the ones really calling the shots in Washington
According to O’Neil, Biden has taken other actions that could damage
Democrats future prospects. He “banned offshore drilling across more than 600
million acres of water” – something that will benefit Soro’s activist groups.
O’Neil reports that other Democrats are warning against “efforts to
enforce transgender orthodoxy, especially when it comes to men in women’s
sports.” However, Biden is making it more difficult for them.
Whether Biden is acting intentionally in revenge or with other
intentions, he “is making life more difficult for his party” in his final month
in office.
