President Joe Biden was criticized for his holiday speech's focus on unity, with critics saying he has been anything but a unifying president.
"This is who Biden is," he said."Biden is the Tony Clifton of politics. There was an old Andy Kaufman character [who would] come on stage as his alter ego and he'd be like, ‘All right, folks, this is a no smoking club’ before the show starts. Then he would light a cigar and do his act, and everybody was like ‘the nerve of this guy,’ -- and that's Biden."
Failla added Biden preaches unity but then also will openly – and falsely – claim mounted Border Patrol agents had been whipping Haitian migrants in Texas earlier this year, or divide people by previously claiming the later stages of the coronavirus to be a"pandemic of the unvaccinated." He also pointed out the president compared Georgia's state election security law to 20th century Democrats' Jim Crow segregationist laws.
"And that's the thing -- Joe Biden lecturing us on unity is like Johnny Depp and Amber Heard lecturing us on civility," he said."No one is buying it, even if they promise to forgive the loan down the road. No way."against Heard in June after a six-week trial that featured allegations of physical and sexual abuse — as both stars took turns on the witness stand.
The jury found that the"Aquaman" actress had defamed her ex-husband by penning a 2018 op-ed in which she identified herself as"a public figure representing domestic abuse."
