Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell struck up a friendship during their nearly quarter-century in the Senate together. Now in their 80s, the Democratic president and the Senate GOP leader appear to be giving political cover to each other as they fend off questions about their advanced age and health issues.
Notably, McConnell, R-Ky., 81, hasn’t joined Donald Trump, 77, and other Republicans who have attacked Biden’s age, health and mental acuity as he seeks re-election.
And after McConnell’s second freeze-up last week, Biden was one of the first to call McConnell, telling reporters that his “friend” sounded like “his old self” and that such episodes are a “part of his recovery” from a fall and a concussion this year.
Agreed. Any mention of GOP associates that says anything less than “power hungry fascists determined to destroy freedom and the Constitutional rule of law by any means necessary” is a journalistic failure.
I take the threat of fascism in the US very, very seriously, and I am sick of seeing nobody in the mediasphere doing the same or at the very least only addressing it with mealy-mouthed weasel words
