Washington Post: Joe Biden Has ‘Won Praise’ for ‘Low-key’ Approach to Texas Disaster

Joel B. Pollak 21 Feb 2021

President Joe Biden has “won praise” for his “low-key approach” to the natural disaster that knocked out power to much of Texas in the midst of a bitter winter storm, according to the Washington Post.

The Post hounded President Donald Trump for years about Hurricane Maria — even after he visited the island personally, and despite the fact that his concerns about local mismanagement in the distribution of aid were proven right. Yet in an article published on Saturday, with the headline “Biden’s low-key approach to storm wins praise but courts risks,” the Post took a dramatically different approach:

    As the Biden administration faces its first natural disaster, the president himself is taking a notably low-key approach. He has not visited the stricken region or delivered prime-time remarks; he did not mention the disaster at a recent town hall; and he is studiously avoiding the controversy over whether wind energy or fossil fuels are to blame for widespread power failures.

    It’s a marked contrast to former president Donald Trump’s habit of making himself the often-hostile center of attention during natural disasters. He famously tossed paper towels to hurricane victims, excoriated Californians for “gross mismanagement” of forests and called Puerto Rican leaders “corrupt and incompetent” for their handling of aid money.

Biden ignored the Texas disaster for days. He did not speak to the governors of states affected by the winter storm until after a journalist raised the question during a White House press briefing. He did not even tweet about Texas until several days into the crisis:

This story has to get the bullsh*t media spin award of the month.

Compare and contrast their reaction after Katrina. Or Covid.

Low-key, let 'em die Joe, and democrat party, the butcher of NY-old peoples homes New York 15,000 reported dead Cuomo , New Orleans Katrina, and now almost the entire state of Texas in desperation, democrat concern suspended, denials and rationalizations fly .  What ultra-sensitivity, what caring, what humanity, Biden sitting on his mountain of ill gotten gold.  Nero fiddled while Rome burned, Biden just sat on his mountain of gold fiddling, like a good 'caring' 'sensitive' socialist democrat.
