The Laughable Excuse for Why Biden's Activities Will Be Limited at the UN General Assembly
BY STACEY LENNOX SEP 20, 2021 9:51 PM ET
Joe Biden will speak to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. If the past is any indication, the chances of a major blunder are high. Biden also tends to be more than a little petulant when things are not going well. As CBS’s Ed O’Keefe pointed out, nothing has gone well for the Biden administration in the last few weeks.
O’Keefe’s tweet doesn’t cover the Americans and greed cardholders left in Afghanistan, the Pentagon admitting that they droned an aid worker and seven children in Kabul, or the COVID-19 booster shot fiasco. Team Biden is rightly concerned about how the UN speech may go, and no one will be there to cut the mic. UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield came to the rescue with the most absurd cop-out possible.
In a press conference Friday, she said, ‘We are concerned about the U.N. event being a superspreader event, and that we need to take all measures to ensure that it does not become a superspreader event.” During the presser, she also said Biden’s attendance at the meeting would be short due to the pandemic precluding opportunities for many meetings during the General Assembly.
These statements come after images of maskless elites at Barack Obama’s 60th birthday party hit the internet. They also come after Americans gathered at college football stadiums filled to capacity for the last two weekends. There is no evidence that these were superspreader events. On Sunday night, the Emmy Awards went off at an indoor venue with no masked celebrity in sight. And of course there was the Met Gala, where there were no masks unless you were a lowly servant. The idea that anyone in elite circles is taking the mitigation steps of face coverings, social distancing, or anything else seriously anymore is absurd.
