The inauguration is less than 48 hours away, and the Washington Post is doing their part to welcome the future first lady as only “journalists” can:
Most people know her as Jill Biden. But to some she is Dr. B, the compassionate and challenging educator who went the extra mile. https://t.co/Rd81MrTlHa

Let the sucking up begin!
Apparently there’s some sort of media competition underway to see who can get the most humiliatingly sycophantic piece past their editors https://t.co/daawFoLGD0

Is this a newspaper or Joe Biden’s PR department? Can’t tell honestly !!! https://t.co/cQATI56F2c

Not even waiting until the inauguration for the hagiography.

Shortly before the presidential inauguration in January of 2017, the future first lady at that time didn’t get such a glowing welcome. You might even call this a dressing down of sorts:
"Should designers dress Melania and Ivanka? The question is more complex than it seems." https://t.co/jeKUAaDR9S

Opinion: Why declining to dress the first lady isn’t like refusing to bake a same-sex wedding cake https://t.co/HiT98DXxkt
