The commentary uses these\u200c examples to \u2064question Biden&#8217;s fitness for office, while also addressing\u2063 broader criticism regarding\u2064 the\u2063 media&#8217;s portrayal of such incidents, suggesting bias in favor of\u200d Biden.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/cillianzeal\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/cillianzeal\/%20\"><span>C.

It still stands for who we are,\u201d Biden said during his remarks, according to the AP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I also refuse to believe that for us to continue to be America that embraces immigration, we have to give up securing our border. They\u2019re false choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was the part where he got the teleprompter reading right. Good for him.
