CNN’s 53-year-old host Anderson Cooper did his best to rehab 77-year-old former Vice President and Democrat nominee Joe Biden after the RNC convention, where after blistering criticism by the mainstream press, Trump has closed the gap in national polls. Last Week’s Democratic National Committee [DNC] convention not only got Biden no bounce but he’s slipping quickly in national polls. For four days, the DNC convention mentioned nothing about the violent street unrest sweeping the country in the wake of George Floyd’s May 25 murder by Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin. Trump spent his convention highlighting the street violence, rioting, looting, arson and anarchy consuming major U.S. cities. “If you think about it, Donald Trump saying, ‘You’re not going to be safe in Joe Biden’s America,’” Biden told Cooper. Cooper did everything possible to help Joe.
Cooper certainly didn’t remind Joe about the racial unrest and street violence while he served two terms under former President Barack Obama. “All the video being played is Donald Trump’s America,” Biden said in a statement, refusing to condemn violent street protesters, while Trump built the RNC convention around getting control of American streets. While it’s true the violent street protest are happening under Trump’s watch, it’s also true that no one in the Democrat party has condemned the violence, including Joe. Voters are faced now with a genuine fear that Biden promotes the anarchists that have seized control of American cities, all because certain groups like Black Lives Matter insists there’s “systemic racism” in American. Trump rejects the idea that today’s America is racist, after voting Obama in for two terms, despite key differences with his liberal policies.
Republican National Committee [RNC] Chairman 47-year-old Ronna McDaniel did a masterful job of presenting a stark contrast with Democrats. Biden has been swept up the Black Lives Matter takeover of the Democrat Party, so much so that he was pressured into picking a black female running mate. Instead of picking someone on the merits, Biden acquiesced to his Party’s Black Caucus, pushing him to pick a black female running mate. Whether you like 55-year-old Sen. Kamala Harris or not, voters are now wondering whether she’s ready to be president. Biden once said he pick a running mate based on who’s ready to lead on Day One but clearly picking someone because of gender and race. Voters now start asking themselves whether or not Kamala’s ready to step into the presidency, if Joe falters. Most voters see Joe’s advanced age and health as a potential stumbling block.
For some inexplicable reason, the Democrat Party seems to cater to its African American constituency, leaving the mainstay of the Party wondering they’ve been left behind. No one likes to see unarmed citizens murdered or gunned down by the police. But with nearly 8,000 police departments around the country and about 700,000 full-time employees, mishaps do happen, including unjustified officer-involved shootings. Yet if you follow the Democrat Party and media’s talking points, racist cops have declared open season on the African American community. When you listen to NBA players mirroring the Democrat Party and media narrative about recent events, you’d think that every white policeman in America is racist. It’s high time for the media to inform the public that policing is no easy business, serious mistakes are made, having nothing to do with racism and everything to do to with poor training and jobs-stress.
When CNN tries to further the fake narrative about “systemic racism,” it doesn’t help Biden’s cause, except with 12% of the population, not enough to win a national election, no matter what the popular vote. Most white Americans don’t like being told they’re racist or, if they object to the label, telling them they’re in denial. “It’s getting worse, and we know why,” Biden told Cooper. Trump “refuses toe even acknowledge there is a racial justice problems in America,” Biden said, alienating more white voters who might have voted from him. “Instead of looking to calm the waters, he adds fuel to every fire. Violence isn’t a problem in his eyes—it’s a political strategy. And the more of it, the better for him,” said Biden. Biden’s statement antagonizes white crossover voters that see what’s happening in America’s inner cities. Blaming the violence on Trump mirrors the Black Lives Matter narrative.
Biden tried to walk back support for the riots, looting, arson and anarchy sweeping the country. White denying or ignoring it for four days and the DNC convention, Biden sounds a sober tone now that his polls are sinking. Biden said he “made it clear,” there’s “no place for violence, looting or burning. None. Zero,” an hour late and a dollar late. Whether Biden admits it or not, key parts of the Democrat parts see violent street demonstrations as a legitimate form of protest. Walking back the Party’s blind eye on violence, comes late in the game. Biden know that he and Obama had their share of rioting on their watch, knowing it’s no unique to Trump. Truth be told, today’s street violence has more to do with protests against Trump than against the recent spate of police killings. Trump has been so demonized by the press, there’s nothing protesters can do other than lash out.
