Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany criticized President Joe Biden for his inadequate response to the widespread anti-Israel protests on college and university campuses across the country, stating that her former boss, Donald Trump, holds the “moral authority” on the issue.
Last week on Fox News’s “Outnumbered” program, McEnany compared the former president’s strong response to the outbreak of protests and violence to Biden’s delayed and weak response.
She also mentioned that she did not want to hear any more claims about “anti-Semitism” coming from the right.
McEnany began by pointing out that while she likes to give credit where it is due, she cannot do so today.
So Biden speaks today because, politically, the moment demanded it.
But what did he have time to do over the last nine days?
Take issue with the effort of Florida to protect unborn babies.
He went to the White House Correspondents Dinner.
He did a campaign event in D.C.
and a campaign event in Delaware.
He even went on Howard Stern.
He found all the time in the world for that.
But he couldn’t speak out about this.
She noted further: “You don’t get credit for that.
And then about a minute into his speech, which, by the way, only lasted about a minute or two — so, yeah, clearly not prioritizing this — about a minute or two to speak.
He says this is not a moment for politics.
It’s a moment for moral clarity.
Well, it’s not a moment for politics.
Then why have you treated it so politically.
McEnany went on to say that if Donald Trump had delivered the same remarks in the same timeline, the White House press briefing room would be at a fever pitch.
The former president has been the moral authority on this issue, not the current one.
Last month, a group of voters who cast ballots for Joe Biden in 2020 indicated they are fed up with his “gaslighting” on the economy and other issues and may give former President Donald Trump the nod this year.
During a focus group of “undecideds,” each one of them expressed that they believed they were better off during Trump’s administration.
The focus group was asked if there was anything Joe Biden could do or say between now and the time they vote that would make them feel differently about feeling that his policies would not be as good for their family on the economy, or are you pretty much decided that Trump’s policies would be better for the economy?
One of the women responded by expressing her sentiment that Biden appeared to be neglecting to address the economy in a substantive manner.
I feel like he doesn’t even take accountability for what’s — at all, with what’s going on.
And not even accountability, like he’s in denial that it’s happening!” she said.
