Summary

What was billed as Joe Biden’s first post-presidential speech, turned out to be a disaster. However, the mainstream media, most namely the Wallstreet Journal, is still running cover for him, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “But my point is this the Wall Street Journal headline was that he attacks Trump, accuses him of cutting Social Security. And the article said that [Biden] looked ‘rested.’ “That was just a complete distortion. And when you start looking every single day, as I'm doing, if it's tariffs, it's a disaster. If it's DOGE, it's a disaster. If it's Ukraine, Trump is doing something wrong, he's favored Putin too much. It's a disaster. “Everything. If it's the mistakenly deported Mr. Garcia, there's no background about who Mr. Garcia really is. It's a disaster. Almost every article it's like an itch or a twitch—is negative, negative, negative, negative.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
