Letter to the editor: Left's hypocrisy on display
The hypocrisy of the left revealed itself on Nov. 7 with the media’s proclamation that Joe Biden will be the country’s 46th president. Despite businesses boarding up their windows in preparation for mass chaos, there were no signs of violence or looting by the more than 70 million people who submitted their ballots in favor of the current president. Instead, it was Democrats who engaged in large street celebrations that would be labeled as dangerous superspreader events if swapped out for Trump rallies.
President-elect Biden preached unity in his acceptance speech just two weeks after calling Trump supporters “chumps” and one day after an Obama administration official promoted an accountability project to document and punish Trump staffers for serving the country under his leadership. Progressive pundits forcefully disregarded investigations into potentially fraudulent actions by the U.S. Postal Service and election officials after four years of relentless focus on election interference by Russia.
In the same way that the pollsters can rest easy knowing their inaccurate predictions will be quickly forgotten by a biased media, liberals will continue to throw stones from glass houses and burn a few in the name of social justice while an enabling public looks the other way.
