Biden’s silence on the riots, arson, vandalism, and statue destruction signals approval, which isn’t what mainstream Democrats, such as are left, likely expect from their presidential candidate.
Biden promised to pick a woman for his running mate, but that wasn’t enough. The party’s hard left wing demands a black woman, and last week he said he was considering four possible candidates. One name that surfaced was Karen Bass, who represents California’s 37th district in Congress.
The problem? In the past, Bass was a full-throated apologist for communist mass-murderer Fidel Castro and spent time in Cuba with the Venceremos Brigade, a front for Cuban intelligence.
Another problem for Biden might be his snuggling up to socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, another apologist for communist mass murderers, and Biden has even proposed ending American suburbs as we know them and forcing high-density housing for the poor into neighborhoods zoned for single-family homes.
“Biden’s plan is to force suburban towns with single-family homes and minimum lot sizes to build high-density affordable housing smack in the middle of their leafy neighborhoods — local preferences and local control be damned,” Betsy McCaughey reported in the New York Post.
Biden, McCaughey reported, will likely expand an Obama-era program that forced towns “to make it possible for low-income minorities to choose suburban living” and provide “adequate support to make their choices possible.”
Had the rule been implemented nationwide, towns everywhere would have had to scrap zoning, build bigger water and sewer lines to support high-density living, expand schools and social services and add mass transit. All pushing up local taxes. Towns that refused would lose their federal aid....
Biden and the equality warriors are using accusations of racism to accomplish something different. Their message is: You worked and saved to move to the suburbs, but you can’t have that way of life unless everyone else can, too....
Count on Trump to make Biden’s war on the suburbs a key issue in the election. In his Rose Garden news conference [on July 16], the president came out swinging, warning that Biden would “totally destroy the beautiful suburbs” by “placing far-left Washington bureaucrats in charge of local zoning.”
Biden’s Lead in Polls Narrows, Move to Hard Left Won’t Bode Well in November
