Brent Leatherwood and ERLC Regurgitate Democrat Talking Points on Biden’s Exit
Reinforcing the ideological alignment between the ERLC and the blue-haired harpies running the Democrat’s war room, Brent Leatherwood, President of the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Commission, has shared his thoughts on Joe Biden’s dropping out of the race, and they are perfectly on brand.
Commenting on the exit, Leatherwood insists “We should all express our appreciation that President Biden has put the needs of the nation above his personal ambition. Despite what some partisans will say, to walk away from power is a selfless act – the kind that has become all too rare in our culture.”
It’s an obscene, dishonest statement, both for how little it reflects anything resembling the truth of Biden’s predicament, as well as how little respect Leatherwood has for himself and his readers. (See Endnotes)
Rather than give the straight dope, Leatherwood is regurgitating frothy talking points fresh from the DNC’s stinkin’ gullet and telling you it’s a 5-course meal of truth and integrity. Put another way, he’s urinating on your head and telling you it’s raining.
Biden is dropping out because he made the miscalculation of revealing to the world how senile and decrepit he’s been for years. He bumbled through the debate in a manner that Democrats and their ally reporters weren’t able to hide, conceal, or cover-up, resulting in historically low favorability numbers within his own party and a surging increase in the fortunes of Donald Trump. Every poll put the exclamation point on the fact that if Biden goes up against the former President in November, his party will be crushed and decimated, much to the dismay of Leatherwood and the hangers-on at the ERLC.
It’s not selfless; it’s cynical and self-serving, and Leatherwood should know better.
Although, to be fair, there is a real possibility, nay near certainty, that Leatherwood and his crony ERLC organization have been so deeply embedded within Democrat spaces, so intrinsically linked and locked in with leftist personalities, so immersed in progressive echo chambers and so mind-melded with whatever familiars and spirits that have been going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it, that he likely genuinely believes Biden’s motives were genuinely unforced and purely altruistic.
After all, in another article about it, Leatherwood states that there have only been “weeks” of concern about Biden’s mental acumen, suggesting he’s responding to the faux shock of the mainstream media following revelations from the disastrous debate performance, despite Republicans have been saying this living corpse of a seasoned citizen has been barely sentient for years.
While Leatherwood having Wormwoodian conversations is a possibility, it’s more than likely true that this is simply a case of the ERLC president engaging in ‘magical thinking’ while asking “who you going to believe, us, or your own lying eyes?”
