Mayorkas-Biden Blame Game is Definition of Failure and Narcissism
September 07, 2023
Winston Churchill observed that “the price of greatness is responsibility.” He understood that meant accepting responsibility when things go wrong – and indeed, he admitted many mistakes during Britain’s World War II campaigns. Great leaders always acknowledge their errors. In 1961, President Kennedy took responsibility for the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion contritely observing, “Victory has a hundred fathers and defeat is an orphan.” Similarly, President Reagan assumed ownership of his administration’s Iran-Contra scandal in 1987 with an Oval Office address famously remarking, “what should happen when you make a mistake is this: You take your knocks, you learn your lessons, and then you move on. That’s the healthiest way to deal with a problem…you change. You go forward.”
Unless it’s the Biden administration and you’re Department Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In that case, you blame New York for the migrant mess you handed them. As Politico reported, Secretary Mayorkas “sent letters to Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, citing two dozen areas where the city needs to improve its response to the crisis.” Mayorkas identified problems with New York’s “governance, issues of authority, structure, personnel, information flow, data collection, planning, case management, communications, and other aspects of day-to-day operations.”
…Bureaucratic double-speak substituting for what could be a simple, helpful memo: “I screwed up. Need to secure the border. Am on it ASAP. All the best, Alejandro.”
