John Cornyn's ugly, transparent attempt to paint Biden as a Manchurian Candidate

For almost the entirety of the 2020 presidential general election campaign, Republicans tried in vain to make Joe Biden’s lack of a public profile an issue. The aim was threefold: (1) They wanted to make him look weak, (2) they hoped that goading him into emerging more might result in some more trademark Biden flubs, and (3) they knew Donald Trump’s continued domination of the election narrative was doing him no favors. But Biden tuned it out, as he did much of the chatter on conservative and social media, and won.

Today, that effort is evolving, as best exemplified by a tweet Monday in which a Republican senator suggested the president is something amounting to a Manchurian Candidate.

“The president is not doing cable news interviews,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), copying text from a Politico piece on Biden’s low profile. “Tweets from his account are limited and, when they come, unimaginably conventional. The public comments are largely scripted. Biden has opted for fewer sit down interviews with mainstream outlets and reporters.”

Then Cornyn got to the point: “Invites the question: is he really in charge?”

1. 🙄 Yawn. Zzzzzzzzz.

Cornyn’s memory has the president confused. It’s the other guy he means.

2. So...because President Biden isn't fractically seeking the spotlight like a coked-up circus clown

with a broom, he's not really in charge?



It gives me a headache trying to think down to the Republican level...

3. And Mr. Biden, or better yet, President Biden's MAGAAT pgm, Making America Great Again AFTER TRUMP

is all he needs to say...nothing else needs to be said. As in a previous DU posting, where were the republicans w/ regards to Infra Structure Issues? As a matter of fact, where were republicans in any serious issues, other than cutting taxes for their donors, thus ramping up the deficits facing all of us now?

4. And while running in 2020, Cornyn's ads

made him sound like a blue dog democrat, all about health care access, etc.
