Texas Sen. John Cornyn (R) offered a very curious critique of Joe Biden’s presidency in a series of tweets on Monday.
Quoting from a Politico article headlined » The Biden White House media doctrine: Less can be more, » Cornyn wrote this: « The president is not doing cable news interviews. Tweets from his account are limited and, when they come, unimaginably conventional. The public comments are largely scripted. Biden has opted for fewer sit down interviews with mainstream outlets and reporters. » Then he added his own editorial comment: « Invites the question: is he really in charge? » OK, OK. So, the way to show that you are « really in charge » is to, among other things, stop sending « limited » tweets from your account that are « unimaginably conventional »? Does that approach sound like anyone you know? Like, maybe the last President? You know, the one who lost his reelection bid, left office with a 34% approval rating and botched the handling of a pandemic because he tried to play politics with every aspect of it? Here’s the thing: As a journalist, I wish Biden were doing more interviews and news conferences.
