The Treason Is Coming From Inside The House
After President Biden’s interview with George Stephanopoulos, the ABC News panel reported something interesting that had been suggested but was not overtly connected until then.
I have talked to a number of Democrats that were glued in, watching this interview. One Democratic senator told me that the president is clear-eyed about the demands of the presidency, the urgency of the moment, and the importance of defeating Donald Trump.
But others say they still have concerns, that the dam hadn't broken tonight but the bleeding hasn't stopped either. Another telling me better, but they're not sure it's enough, they need more than one interview, more than 22 minutes to prove the president has the stamina to continue in this race and defeat Donald Trump. A different Democrat putting it to me this way, "There's no question that Biden must win the election, but he will not be in a position to stop a movement."
The movement that the anonymous Democrat was talking about above was not a movement from Democratic voters but a movement among Capitol Hill Democrats and Democratic elites to replace Biden.
There have been five House Democrats who have publicly asked Biden to step down. Reps. Seth Moulton, Angie Craig, Mike Quigley, Lloyd Doggett, and Raul Grijalva have all issued public statements asking Biden to step aside.
These five deserve respect for putting their names on statements and not hiding behind anonymous reporting. If the party is having this conversation about Biden, it should be done with clear transparency in front of the voters. If a member of Congress is going to advocate for invaliding the votes of millions of Democrats in the primary, they should put their name on their statements because that is how accountability works.
As Democrats talk about the need to protect democracy from Trump, they are also trying to subvert the will of their voters by tossing out the nominee that the voters chose.
The reality is that the Democratic elites who are attempting to oust Biden are damaging American democracy in multiple ways, and their actions could result in the treasonous act of returning Donald Trump to the White House.
