The Real Reason Republicans Pretend to Be So Concerned About Joe Biden’s Age
The profit-driven billionaire-funded corporate media might be guilty of luring people into fretting about President Joe Biden’s age, but the republican party, particularly those in it running to succeed Biden, aren’t really concerned about the president’s age at all, despite all their vociferous bluster. After all, Donald Trump, the one who might likely be their nominee, is only three years younger than Biden.
There is a much more cynical motive behind all the faux pearl clutching over the fact that Biden is the oldest president we’ve had.
If, for some reason, Biden doesn’t finish a term, republicans would have to contend with Kamala Harris in the Oval.
And that’s just a bridge too far for the GOP.
Kamala Harris is a mixed-race female, which, to a republican, means she might as well have horns and eat babies. (Some already believe she does.)
Of course, they can’t come right out and admit that, just like they can’t come right out and admit they’re only in office to serve the morbidly rich and corporations.
So they have to pretend it’s President Biden’s age over which voters should be wringing their hands.
Need proof?
