Attacking Biden for the possible crimes of his son is bullshit. Likewise, attacking Boebert for the possible crimes of her son is bullshit. Two hypocrites don't make a right.

No one's calling for a House investigation of tHe BoEbErT CrImE fAmiLy because her son is a thief, so spare me the pearl clutching and half-assed false equivalency.

I sincerely think my point was not well conveyed. I was not trying to equate this article to ongoing impeachment hearings. Quite the contrary.

Yes yes, both sides are exactly the same and calling out hypocrisy is somehow the exact same as being a hypocrite. That's nice, dad, now remember that dinner is at 6.

I didn't say that though? Where did I compare calling out a hypocrite to being a hypocrite? I was trying to offer a word of warning to those who might quickly jump onto the same platform they've been shouting from for years.

She's not being attacked for the crimes of her son, though. She's being criticized as a hypocrite.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't say that she was.

When Joe Biden has a page like this on his website, you'll have room to talk.
