Mediocracy..

 

Analysis by Brianna Keilar, CNN Anchor

As President Joe Biden stood outside Philadelphia's Independence Hall, making the case ahead of the midterm elections that "equality and democracy are under assault," he wasn't standing alone.

For most Americans watching the prime-time speech, the uniformed Marines flanking him were just part of the setting for the address.

Genuinely surprised the White House had made what appeared to me and many others to be an obvious visual error for such a high-profile prime-time address, I tweeted:

"Whatever you think of this speech the military is supposed to be apolitical. Positioning Marines in uniform behind President Biden for a political speech flies in the face of that. It's wrong when Democrats do it. It's wrong when Republicans do it."

That tweet got ratioed. The White House chief of staff Ron Klain retweeting a thread from a liberal blogger who called me a propagandist; commentator Keith Olbermann saying I should be fired.

Comment:

1- President Biden wants to say please Vote for the Democratic politicians. We are far better than the other side regardless of what we are doing.

2- CNN have had enough with this Mediocracy.  Just a thought.
