The Democrats’ calls for transparency and accountability in the current administration ring hollow as they turn a blind eye to the recent discovery of classified documents improperly held by President Biden at his private residence and in the office of his think tank.
In a recent town hall event, Democratic Rep. Katie Porter of California stated, “I definitely think that we want to get answers from the White House,” in reference to the ongoing investigation into President Biden’s illicit storage of classified documents.
However, when pressed on whether she would sign on to a request from Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer for records related to these classified documents, Porter refused to commit.
This hypocritical stance is even more glaring when considering the Democrats’ past actions. Rep. Porter herself has pointed to “much broader abuse of classified information” by former President Donald Trump, yet the Democrats failed to hold him accountable. Now, when presented with the opportunity to hold President Biden to the same standards, they are hesitant to do so.
What’s more, President Biden continues to ignore reporters’ questions on the matter, refusing to address the classified documents from his time as Vice President that were recently found at his Delaware home and the Penn Biden Center.
This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable and undermines the very principles the Democrats claim to stand for.
It’s time for the Democrats to put their money where their mouth is and hold President Biden accountable for his actions. Americans deserve answers and transparency, regardless of party affiliation.
The Democrats’ blatant double standard on this issue is a disservice to the American people and undermines the integrity of our government.
