It highlights instances where Biden has shown meanness and dishonesty, such as falsely accusing a man of causing a fatal accident that involved his family or \u200bsmearing Supreme Court nominees\u200d with unsubstantiated claims. The article questions \u2064Biden&#8217;s reputation as a &#8220;nice\u200d guy&#8221; and\u200b calls out his lack of decency \u2063and integrity \u200bin various \u2063aspects\u2062 of his\u200b public life. Additionally, it discusses Biden&#8217;s handling of accusations of sexual misconduct and how he has not applied the\u200d same standards to himself\u200c as\u2062 he has to others.\u200d The \u200darticle ultimately argues that Biden&#8217;s behavior contradicts the \u200cimage of him as\u2063 a kind and honorable person.  <\/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<div>\n<p>Even as they attempt to force him out, Democrats are still praising the sterling character of the president, especially in contrast to Trump. But that\u2019s always been a lie.<\/p>\n<p>As corporate media and a growing number Democrats try to force Biden to stand down \u2014 an effort that, at the moment, appears to be failing due to the adamant refusal of the Biden family including his wife, Dr. Jill, and son, Hunter, to give up power \u2014 the standard refrains heard on MSNBC and CNN debates about the issue always include the requisite tribute to his greatness as a president and his inherent decency and goodness.<\/p>\n<p>We can dismiss the claim that his administration has been a great success, an astonishing disconnect with the reality of an inflation-ridden economy, open border, and a world in chaos on his watch, that is nonetheless ritually repeated regularly on the left-wing news channels. But Democrat partisans actually think they are on firmer ground in affirming that he\u2019s a great guy \u2014 and therefore a stark contrast to Trump, whom they denounce as personally evil \u2014 even as they come to grips with the fact that he lacks the mental acuity to be the leader of the free world.<\/p>\n<p>But the notion that \u201cScranton Joe\u201d is a nice guy is as wrongheaded as the claim that he\u2019s mentally competent or a brilliant leader.<\/p>\n<h2>A Record of Lies and Slander<\/h2>\n<p>The one constant about Biden has been his essential meanness, which, when combined with his well-known predilection for telling tall tales about his own life, is a formula for slander of all those who are not materially contributing to his success.<\/p>\n<p>This even concerns events in his life that were undoubtedly tragic, such as the death of his first wife and a young daughter in a traffic accident in 1972, shortly after his election to the U.S. Senate. For many years, he claimed that the accident that killed his wife and daughter was caused by a drunk driver. But the truth was that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2019\/01\/25\/joe-biden-2019-profile-grief-beau-car-accident-224178\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">those familiar\u00a0with what happened<\/a> say Neila Biden was at fault and drove into the path of the tractor\/trailer driven by Curtis Dunn, causing the collision.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s grief at this horrible incident is to be pitied. But that he, a public figure, repeatedly spoke of an innocent private citizen as essentially having murdered two people is despicable. Why did he do it? Did it make it easier to live with to imagine his late wife as a victim? Perhaps. But it\u2019s more likely that it just made for a better story and heightened his own status as a victim. Much as we should all sympathize with the trauma he went through, forcing Dunn to live with the opprobrium brought down upon him by a senator was deeply wrong. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newarkpostonline.com\/news\/local\/daughter-of-man-in-biden-crash-seeks-apology-from-widowed\/article_6c9a477e-63be-561b-b771-1330b4cda02d.html?utm_medium=social&#038;utm_source=twitter&#038;utm_campaign=user-share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In 2008,<\/a> Dunn\u2019s daughter called on Biden to apologize and said he called to do so. But he never cleared the record on this smear in public.<\/p>\n<p>The same lack of common decency applies to his conduct concerning a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-7908559\/Joe-Bidens-brother-Frank-owes-1-million-dead-mans-family-2020-Democrat-did-help.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fatal accident <\/a>that was caused by his brother Frank. In 1999, Michael Albano was killed when a Jaguar rented by Frank Biden (and which he was shifting even while someone else was driving), hit him. The youngest of the president\u2019s siblings, an alcoholic, who has profited from the influence-peddling schemes run by brother Jim and nephew Hunter, reportedly told the driver to \u201cpunch it,\u201d just before the hit and run occurred, and then told him to flee the scene. Albano\u2019s family successfully sued for $1 million in compensation but has never received a penny.<\/p>\n<p>When Albano\u2019s family begged Joe Biden for help in 2008, all they got was a letter of refusal from the then-senator\u2019s chief of staff. The president has become a wealthy man while spending his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bareback-rocket-ride-the-hunter-biden-story\/\" title=\"\u2018Bareback Rocket Ride\u2019: The Hunter Biden Story\">entire adult life<\/a> in public service receiving relatively modest salaries but never lifted a finger to aid a poor family that was harmed by his brother. Is that the behavior of a \u201cnice\u201d man?<\/p>\n<h2>Nasty and Mean Politics<\/h2>\n<p>The evidence of his meanness in his public life has been just as abundant.<\/p>\n<p>His plagiarism, including stealing the life story of a British politician whose family background made for a better story than his own, provided abundant evidence of his bad character and drove him from the 1988 presidential race. But Biden has continued to lie about that and to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-endorses-moving-mlb-all-star-game-out-of-georgia-lauds-athletes-using-sports-to-push-politics\/\" title=\"Biden Endorses Moving MLB All-Star Game Out Of Georgia, Lauds Athletes Using Sports To Push Politics\">repeat false claims<\/a> about his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-bidens-big-messes\/\" title=\"Joe Biden\u2019s Big Messes\">law school record<\/a> and other biographical details.<\/p>\n<p>But his meanness has always been an element of his conduct in office.<\/p>\n<p>In 1986, Biden said that Judge Robert Bork was qualified to sit on the Supreme Court and that he would vote for him even if liberal groups complained. But the next year when Bork was nominated by President Ronald Reagan, he didn\u2019t just change his mind. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he presided over and assisted in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/SB124294934268945409\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smearing<\/a> of the same man he had praised for his brilliance and helped ensure his defeat. While Ted Kennedy\u2019s infamous \u201cRobert Bork\u2019s America\u201d speech \u2014 in which the judge was falsely accused of racism and misogyny, among other crimes \u2014 was the keystone of that brutal chapter of dirty politics, it was all enabled and orchestrated by Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Four years later, he played a similar role in the smearing of Clarence Thomas during his Supreme Court confirmation. The unsubstantiated claims of sexual harassment alleged by Anita Hill were only brought forward after the hearings on Thomas\u2019 fitness for office had concluded. But, not losing a chance to harm a black conservative, Biden again enabled attacks on Thomas\u2019 reputation that a more judicious and less partisan chairman would never have allowed.<\/p>\n<p>These were the acts of a ruthless partisan who sacrificed the reputation of the court to make cheap partisan points while harming innocent men. Perhaps that\u2019s what we expect from career politicians. But a nice man? No.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies to the treatment given by Biden and his followers to Tara Reade, the woman who has accused him of sexual misconduct. When it comes to those who accuse other men who are not political allies of Biden, he\u2019s a consistent advocate of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/03\/17\/biden-echoes-believe-all-women-in-abc-interview-but-what-about-tara-reade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cbelieve all women\u201d <\/a>standard. But not with the woman who has consistently maintained that he touched her inappropriately in 1993 and told others about it at the time. We don\u2019t know if Reade is telling the truth about the incident and, other than his well-known offensive habit of touching and sniffing the hair of women in public, Biden has not been accused of similar conduct by anyone else. Reade\u2019s own character has been called into question, including her decision to go live in Russia last year. But it\u2019s fair to say that although her accusation had more substance to it than those of Christine Blasey Ford against Justice Brett Kavanaugh, she was subjected to attacks simply because she claimed the man who was Donald Trump\u2019s opponent had abused her.<\/p>\n<p>Even as he showed us just how unfit he was to be president during the debate with Trump, he also gave the nation more reasons to doubt his good character. Recycling the lie that Trump claimed the neo-Nazis at the 2017 Charlottesville rally were \u201cvery fine people\u201d is standard Democrat rhetoric. But a decent politician would have dropped it since even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snopes.com\/fact-check\/trump-very-fine-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Snopes<\/a> labeled the claim as \u201cfalse\u201d only a week before the debate.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Biden is always happy to repeat lies that hurt Trump or even efforts to discredit honest journalists who reported about Hunter\u2019s misdeeds. The way he repeated the false claim that Hunter\u2019s laptop was \u201cRussian misinformation\u201d at the 2020 debate with Trump showed that the talk of his goodness has no relation to the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s supporters will answer that Trump is a bad man who has always uttered falsehoods. They have reason to say that. His public philandering was a staple of tabloid coverage for decades before he began his run for the presidency in 2015. Indeed, the reason why many conservatives believed he was unelectable was that it was difficult to imagine anyone who had spent much of his adult life being featured on the New York Post\u2019s Page Six gossip column being elected president. The \u201cAccess Hollywood\u201d tape resonated because it seemed in character. The same applies to the claims about him having a tryst with Stormy Daniels, whether or not that is true.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has many good qualities \u2014 and among those who know him, there are many who can cite many good deeds, as well as some who will speak of wrongful conduct. But, unlike Biden, Trump has never claimed to be a paragon of virtue. In fact, he has enjoyed his \u201cbad boy\u201d reputation, and a lot of voters love him because he doesn\u2019t dissemble about it.<\/p>\n<p>But whatever one can say about Trump not being an example of a virtuous public figure, Biden\u2019s reputation as a good guy is as unfounded as any assertions of his greatness as a leader.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Jonathan S.
