Scathing Rebuke

Meghan McCain has left The View and is now writing for the Daily Mail. Her first column is a scathing rebuke of the man she once counted as a friend and whom she supported in the last presidential election.

She writes:

Eight months since President Biden was sworn into office, the anticipation of a tone change and 'return to normalcy' has utterly disappeared. The man I once considered a friend and confidante has morphed into a feckless and unreliable leader I no longer recognize.

He gives all the signs of stubborn cantankerous naiveté, surrounded by idiotic sycophants anyone who has spent more than fifteen minutes around politics should easily recognize as the worst type of corrupt bureaucrats.

Biden's policies have broken with his rhetoric of unity to create more division and distrust. Inflation has exploded. Americans are paying more at the pump and the grocery and soon for their kids' holiday toys. The schools are supposed to be reopened, but in-person learning is inconsistent and can be pulled away with the speed of a positive test.

The vaccine booster shots, which Biden promised at the beginning of the month, ran into a brick wall of FDA policy. New government mandates are testing the limits of executive power.

The man who promised he would shut down the virus, not the country, is doing the opposite.

Ms. McCain is just getting warmed up. Her indictment of her erstwhile friend continues:

You can see the discrepancy just turning on the television, where on Sunday morning Dr. Fauci and his fellow government spokesmen speak in terms of limiting our lives, restricting our travel, mandating masks, requiring boosters and vaccine card checks just to go to a restaurant, and just a few hours later, you can see stadiums filled with tens of thousands of unmasked football fans cheering together for hours.

Many of those cheering fans, who stand for the anthem and honor the flag, are the same people our media looks down on, and who Biden and his White House sycophants blame for continued Covid case numbers, despite no proof whatsoever that they are the source of continued illness.

So they berate them, call them fools, suggest they are insurrectionists, and blame them for their own failed policies, as a blatant attempt to distract from the fact that they literally have officials resigning in protest from the FDA over their interference in public health science.

The bureaucracy, the media, and this White House are out of touch with reality. They don't have a plan. They don't know what to do. They're trying to throw money at the problems, but deep down, they know this won't solve anything.

She could've mentioned, but didn't, the debacles in Afghanistan and on our southern border. She also could've mentioned, among other things, the Hunter Biden scandal which has been simmering for over a year but now threatens to burst into flames engulfing "the Big Guy," in a conflagration of corruption.

McCain closes with these words:

He is on the path to become worse than Jimmy Carter, who author Steve Hayward described as a man who ran for office promising 'a government as good as the people' and ended his term by saying the people were no good.

The American people are good. I believe in them. And I believe they deserve a better class of leader.

McCain, a Republican (her father was a U.S. Senator, a presidential candidate, a fighter pilot and Vietnam war POW) has good reason for having placed her hopes in Mr. Biden. Donald Trump insulted her father gratuitously, tastelessly and stupidly, even after McCain pere was dead. So Meghan's disdain for Trump and consequent support for Biden is understandable.

What's less understandable is why so many other Americans believed, despite the lack of any evidence in Mr. Biden's long public record, that he would be a competent leader.
