Former President Joe Biden took to social media on Tuesday to warn Americans that “violence and terror have no place” in the United States – especially when it’s the government doing the targeting.

Biden’s remarks are clearly aimed at condemning the Trump administration for enforcing immigration law – after Biden and Democrats allowed millions of illegal aliens into the country to create havoc and destruction. What’s missing from Biden’s outrage is any concern for Americans harmed by crimes committed by illegal aliens, including domestic abuse, sexual assault, and homicide.
As Biden lectures the country about government “targeting,” it’s worth noting that much of his administration was defined by its pursuit of Trump and his supporters. In fact, they barely had time to do much of anything else.
Biden’s message boils down to “accountability for thee, but not for me.” The violence and chaos tied to his immigration policies – and amplified by Democratic-run sanctuary cities and states – are ignored and the repercussions of it are blamed on Trump.
If no single person can destroy what America stands for as Biden says in his X comment – not even a president – Americans might reasonably ask: then why do Democratic presidents keep trying?
