Jill Biden – the Edith Wilson of the new administration
By Andrea Widburg
In the early days of America, presidential First Ladies were hostesses at the White House. In recent decades, they’re goodwill ambassadors for feelgood causes. One exception to this rule was Edith Wilson, who, in 1919, appointed herself as acting president when her husband, Woodrow Wilson, was felled by a stroke in the second-to-last-year of his administration. It’s beginning to appear that Jill Biden, married to a decaying, increasing mentally incapacitated man, has chosen Edith as her role model.
Edith was a typical product of the post-Civil War South. She was raised in a large family, had minimal education, and believed devoutly in the Confederate Cause. In 1915, when she was a 42-year-old widow, she met President Woodrow Wilson, who was 16 years older than she was and who had recently lost his wife. They married that same year.
Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat and a progressive. He still supported the Confederacy; segregated the formerly integrated federal civil service; screened Birth of a Nation, the pro-KKK film in the White House; and believed firmly in eugenics. That is, he believed that Whites were a superior race and that people with darker complexions were inferior, with their inferiority increasing in direct proportion to their increased melanin. (In other words, he was the mirror image of Kristen Clarke, Biden’s choice to lead the Civil Rights division of the Department of Justice.)
Wilson was also the progenitor of the Wilson Doctrine: Briefly, to drag a reluctant nation into World War I -- which many Americans saw as Europe’s problem, not theirs -- he announced that it was America’s responsibility to make the world “safe for democracy.†This doctrine controlled American politics right until the Trump presidency.
