Joe Biden delivered another speech last night about the threat Republicans pose to the health of American democracy, this time drawing a straight line from the January 6 riots to the attack on Paul Pelosi. Is he right? Or are Democrats as conditional as Republicans when it comes to their affection for the mechanisms of self-government?

    Did he mention the attempt on Kavanaugh or the shooting of the baseball practice?

    How about the summer of mostly peaceful protests

    The rants from Charlie Schumer about how Kavanaugh and Gorsuch were going to pay if the change Roe

    Or how Maxine Waters told people to “get in their faces”

    No.  Biden, of course, did not mention these things.  The podcast episode makes note of this per the very unequal treatment of people per their political party or whether or not a person’s actions spell political advantage for Democrats.
