First-​Class Liars

Let us now praise infamous men.

Actress Ashley Judd calls for Biden to step aside, says Trump supporters in her family leave her ‘shaken’” — a Fox news story tells us. In a not-​so-​classy move, “Actress Ashley Judd joined a growing list of celebrities and high-​profile Democrats who have called for President Biden to step aside, doing so by attacking former President Trump and her loved ones who plan to vote for him.” Gotta throw family under the campaign bus.

Referring to the current president as “a deeply decent man,” Ms. Judd thus echoes a trope throughout the left-​leaning media and celebrity circus, praising the corrupt ex-​senator and former vice president for his morality and kindness, while delivering the kicker: “I now ask President Joe Biden to step aside.”

She said this just after calling Donald Trump a liar.

Without actually citing a single untruth, demonstrating not even one error.

But the funny thing? Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., is a known serial liar, a prevaricator from way back. Infamous in his heyday, sure, but lying even now, all the time — only now he has the tricky excuse of decaying gray matter. Glenn Greenwald devoted a segment of his Rumble program System Update to the outright deception involved in this de rigueur encomium prefixed to current calls for the senile politician to step down:

Greenwald concludes the segment arguing that this is really about Trump. Biden has to be righteous and decent and nicey-​nice not because of anything he has said or done, but because Trump is so icky. This narrative context trumps all. “I’ve often said,” Greenwald quips, “that if Adolf Hitler got reincarnated and he decided to denounce Trump, he’d probably get an MSNBC show the next day.” For he is a good and moral man, dontcha know.

“It’s really all about class loyalty.”

And Trump is déclassé.
