The Ashley Biden Diary Has Hit the Fan

 

Tucker Carlson spent much of his episode Friday discussing Ashley Biden’s diary. About six months ago, he mentioned it in passing but I think he said no one was sure if it was authentic. And he never mentioned what it said other than to say that it was horrible if true.

Tonight he never even addressed that question, speaking matter of factly as if it was authentic and detailing the most disturbing allegations as true. His guest did too. This is the first time it’s been mentioned in this way in the MSM.

So now, either…

Ashley Biden comes to her dad’s defense and claims the diary is a fake, or…

Joe Biden throws his daughter under the bus, or…

Joe and the MSM attempt to ignore the story.

I think most Americans were not aware of the allegations until now. So I’m not sure if the last option is viable. Especially if Ashley Biden doesn’t speak up.

    True, but it is another confirmation of what a despicable creep we have for a president. He is, and for all of his public life, a man without any moral or ethical grounding.

    I think our president is a despicable creep, but I don’t necessarily give credence to Ashley’s allegations. She is a wreck, and wrecks aren’t reliable truth-tellers.

    Yes, but she’s more likely to tell the truth to her diary which she didn’t intend to be seen by the public.

    Good point! But wrecks are good at lying to themselves as well, creating situations that perhaps lessen their responsibility for their being wrecks. I just don’t think we can know with certainty here if she is telling the truth or not.

    I can’t imagine why she would make it up about taking showers with her father. Certainly, as an addict, she’d be even more inclined than most people are, to claim that things that had been done to her are the only reason she continued to engage in stupid or destructive behaviors. That’s the way addicts (all of us, to a lesser extent) tell you and themselves a half truth. I should say, rather, it is the half truth used when people don’t want to get honest with themselves about, or take responsibility for, their own behavior, especially going forward.

    Yes, why would she make that up of all things?
