OPINION:
Everyone — that is, those willing to admit it — knows that Joe Biden and his family are probably criminal skunks. But Gerard Leval goes too easy on Biden when he compares the president’s disastrous decisions to the ones made by France’s King Louis XVI and Russia’s Czar Nicholas II (“Failed parent Joe Biden and his unwarranted Hunter denials,” Web, May 17).
The king and the son of the czar suffered diseases that were untreatable at the time. In Louis’ case, illness may have clouded his decision making, and in Nicholas’, worry over his child’s health may have done the same. Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, however, is not suffering from an irreversible, untreatable disease. Rather, Joe, Hunter and other lowlifes in the Biden family suffer from what Don Feder recently called a “crisis of character” here in The Washington Times.
Patients end up dying from terminal diseases. People with serious character defects may end up going to jail.
