Joe Biden’s latest stumble during a speech about equality — where he floated that “10 to 15 percent” of people are “just not very good people” — has many conservatives rightly furious and many independents worried about the optics of a man who keeps saying things that divide rather than unite. The remark, made during a virtual town hall moderated by actor Don Cheadle, was more than a slip; it sounded like the contempt of an out-of-touch elite speaking down to vast swaths of the country.
Fox & Friends Weekend didn’t mince words, and neither did guests who called the comments “disturbing” and emblematic of left-wing elitism that writes off voters as unworthy. Turning Point USA spokesperson Rob Smith told hosts that Biden’s line of thinking is exactly the type of arrogance that turns people off from the Democratic Party — an argument conservatives have been making for years.
This isn’t an isolated moment; it’s part of a pattern of verbal miscues and memory lapses that have dogged Biden for years, from calling world leaders by the wrong names to muddling basic facts in public. Those incidents add up and create a real question about who should be speaking for America on the world stage — and whether the Democratic establishment is more loyal to legacy than to competence.
Meanwhile the mainstream networks have been selective in their coverage, with conservative commentators accusing CNN and MSNBC of ignoring the story or soft-pedaling it when it damages their preferred candidate. That media double standard fuels the distrust many Americans feel toward the press and the political class that treats voters like chess pieces rather than citizens.
Beyond the theatrics and cable-show outrage, there’s a practical consequence: alienating tens of millions by implying they’re morally deficient is political malpractice. If Democrats think condescension wins elections, they’re either playing a long game of hubris or they simply can’t see the anger they’ve helped create; either way, it’s unforgivable to expect voters to accept being written off.
Patriots who want an America that honors work, faith, and decency should be paying attention to how often the left’s leaders talk about “equity” while sneering at people who disagree with them. This moment should serve as a wake-up call: voters deserve leaders who build up the nation and respect its citizens, not elites who gloat about who counts as “good” or “bad.”
