Charlie Hurt: The Background to Biden’s Speech Last Night Resembled a Scene from ‘The Shining’
EXCERPT:
HURT: "If Democrat voters looked at that and said, 'Yes, that’s speaking for me,' then we have a lot of very, very, angry, disenchanted people in this country who have had their way for the last two years, they control every lever of power in Washington and they have no one but themselves and their policies that they support to blame for it, and yet they are still so angry. And I can’t help but think — I mean, I would hope the White House is smart enough to look at the scene from that, the angry, visceral, bitter speech that the President gave where he is attacking voters, the voters that he supposedly works for. But then the scene, the blood-red, bathed in blood-red, it looks like that scene from 'The Shining,' with the marines in the background. And if that speaks for half of our country, man, we are in for some really hard times coming ahead. And that’s after two years of getting their way on absolutely everything and look where we are. People can’t afford gas, they can’t afford groceries, the border is wide open, and we havea crime spree. If they aren’t happy with their policies, they have no one but themselves to blame. Yet they will still lash out. I think it's a really troubling moment."
