President Biden’s catastrophic performance at the first presidential debate had a lasting, even more subtle danger lurking in a talking point he’s raised time and time again since he re-entered presidential politics in 2019, a lie that the mainstream media seem to have let slide because it was Biden’s excuse for reentering politics. This lie has taken on added gravity since the October 7th attacks, and the radical leftist antisemitism that has followed.
I am talking about the narrative of Charlottesville, and that President Trump said that there were fine people on both sides, insinuating that he somehow supported the white supremacists in 2017 at Charlottesville. This is a complete and total lie. And Joe Biden knows it.
The fact of the matter is, under Joe Biden’s watch, we saw the largest wholesale slaughter of Jewish men, women, and children since the Holocaust. And since then, Joe Biden’s “unwavering support” of Israel seems to resemble the foreign policy equivalent of Sundown Syndrome—he commits to protecting Israel in the morning, and forgets about it in the afternoon.
And the Jewish community is getting wise to this ploy.
He’s misrepresenting the facts, and obfuscating from the true danger gripping our nation and the Jewish people: radical leftist antisemitism has gripped far too many wings of the Democratic Party in the past eight months. Theirs is the most pernicious blood libel—of not only promoting and condoning anti-Zionist antisemitism, but of trying to distract from the true dangers by promoting an ad hominem, straw man fallacy, which only serves to distract from the real problems we’re experiencing.
Instead of crafting actual policy, or addressing the antisemitic rot within the Democrat Party, they cheaply and falsely imply Trump is an antisemite. Recently, they have started amplifying a new, manufactured controversy about Trump wanting a “unified Reich.” This stems from an ad, which, for a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, had blurred, grayish text from a newspaper article from World War One, which a graphic designer used as placeholder text when he created the video template in 2023. The ad was not reposted by President Trump—we know this because he was in court at the time. It was reposted by a staffer, and, when the text was discovered, instantly removed. All of this, while members of the Democratic Party actively deny the events of October 7th, while they attend protests where “from the River to the Sea” is openly chanted.
At the end of the day, a certain calculus needs to be made. What’s more dangerous: an isolated incident of racist punks with tiki torches, who President Trump condemned and completely disavowed at the time, or Iran-backed proxies, seemingly enabled by the current administration, not only re-joining the JCPOA but also sending $6 billion the month before October 7th, and their cheerleaders on college campuses and in Congress—if not in the State Department and at the White House.
Other than a tweet, Joe Biden has been completely silent on the protests in Los Angeles and New York City. Tearing down posters of the hostages has transitioned into attacks in broad daylight, in locations and towards people who’s only commonality is that they’re Jewish, that they wear yarmulkes and stars of David.
Recently, Jews trying to go attend an event at a synagogue in Los Angeles were targeted by violent pro-Hamas activists. Where was Joe Biden in the months leading up to this? And why has Alvin Bragg declined to press charges against those non-peaceful protesters who were arrested at Columbia University? Is this not enabling future attacks? And where is Chuck Schumer, the self-declared Shomer Israel, or protector of Israel, when he’s been delaying the Antisemitism Awareness Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation being held up by the Democratic Senate Majority Leader.
President Biden and the Democratic Party have a lot of questions to answer for. And saying “Charlottesville, Charlottesville, Charlottesville” is a response to none of them.
