Biden and the Left Had No Issues With Oligarchy and the Ultra-Rich Until They Backed Trump

Bill Maher’s guest reminds him that Joe Biden had no issue with the “oligarchy” and the ultra-wealthy until it came back to bite the Democratic Party.

MAHER: “Bezos, Musk, and Zuckerberg are all on the dais… And I don’t think Joe Biden is wrong.”

ERIN PERRINE: “I find it very difficult for Joe Biden to credibly hold an argument about the tech-industrial complex, which has so served Democrats up to this point. He talks about the fact that there is extreme wealth and that this needs to be broken up.

“Democrats didn’t have a problem with that extreme wealth when $1 billion was raised by Kamala Harris in under 100 days to try to fuel her to the presidency. Nobody minded extreme wealth then. They didn’t mind extreme power when Joe Biden was able to unilaterally pardon his son for over a decade of alleged or convicted crimes.

“And they certainly didn’t mind extreme influence when both the Biden White House and the Biden campaign were pressuring these social media companies to suppress conversations, stories, the Hunter Biden laptop story, and people pushing back on Covid that they didn’t like.

“So, while we can definitely have a conversation on the overall merits of regulation when it comes to social media companies and the uber-wealthy in this country, Joe Biden has no credibility to carry that argument.”
