Biden isn’t better

Mr. Milbank, are you serious? (“Rice as VP pick won’t wear well,” Aug. 6).

“Biden would be better than … Trump even if he put the general secretary of antifa on the ticket.”

Seriously?

Biden’s profound cognitive decline guarantees the VP will be president in a short time. Antifa, despite Democratic congressman Jerry Nadler’s assertion that antifa violence is a myth, is an organization with decades of struggle against capitalism. Antifa is now violently rioting on America’s streets fighting for the overthrow of capitalism in the U.S. republic for something more fair — like socialism.

Dana Milbank, you should get out of Washington, D.C., more. You will find the only evil in the world is not Donald Trump, the best system by far for raising people out of poverty and reducing inequality is free-market capitalism, and that a “journalist” promoting an antifa presence in the White House has abandoned journalistic standards.
