With antisemitic violence rapidly on the rise in America, the country needed a categorical condemnation from the White House.
We just got one from Joe Biden:
The recent attacks on the Jewish community are despicable, and they must stop. I condemn this hateful behavior at home and abroad — it’s up to all of us to give hate no safe harbor.
— President Biden (@POTUS) May 24, 2021
We couldn’t agree more, Mr. President. Though we’re not sure why you waited until this morning to make the statement you could have and should have made back when all this started blowing up.
What took you so long? https://t.co/bQGbFaEZFo

It took Biden over a week to make a statement. Over a week. https://t.co/glhcuqlZkl

I guess better late than never, but this is so late that it constitutes a failure of leadership. https://t.co/Z4iGWiIgTr

This tweet today rather than yesterday or the day before that and only after the DNC talking points memo went out yesterday is bizarre at best. https://t.co/Rp4ia6GusQ

Time for the “Imagine IF Game”!
Imagine if Donald Trump took this long to condemn rising violent attacks on the Jewish Community?
Holy Hell. https://t.co/GJsDrMBdUm

Jake Tapper would be monologuing like crazy. Instead, Joe Biden will be hailed for his stunning bravery.
This is what all the statements should look like and this is all starting to feel like a calculated dynamic where Biden always says the right thing so that everyone else in his party can spout their bullshit. Pretty shrewd if you ask me. pic.twitter.com/UpP9ysYBvd

Oh, you mean like the “Islamophobia” stuff?

This statement is the only one that doesn't mention Islamophobia when the Vice President, DNC chair, and high profile senators and congressmen all had precisely matching messaging. I'm suspicious because it's different, not because it's good. https://t.co/PL1HsJIpcl

It’s sad, but Noam Blum is right to be suspicious. The Democratic Party has left us with no other option.
I hate that we've become so cynical. I hate even more that there is good reason.

We’re not cynical by choice; we’re cynical by necessity.
Biden’s statements provide cover for the administrations lack of action.

That’s demonstrably true. As is this:
Antisemitic hate has a safe harbor in your party… https://t.co/yposNgYPU1
