Presidential candidate and former VP Joe Biden
Ed Koch never missed an opportunity to tell his side of a story. When a newspaper or television report said something about him he saw as wrong or unfair, the
late New York mayor invariably fired off a letter of complaint. The habit was so pronounced that I once asked him why he bothered, especially when the issue was minor. His answer:
If you don't object, your silence is assumed to be agreement.
Attention, Joe Biden. This is why your silence in the face of serious allegations of corruption is highly suspicious.
It makes you look guilty. If you are innocent, why don't you say so?
As a very strange presidential campaign enters the final days, one of its strangest features is taking center stage. The Democrats' presidential nominee, who has spent most days in
his Delaware basement,
has not disputed charges that he was secretly involved in his family's business schemes, including while he was vice president.
Doubly strange, Biden also has remained silent about the explosive claim by a former partner in one family venture. Retired Navy Lt.
Tony Bobulinski told
The Post and others that he met with Joe Biden in 2017 to discuss a partnership with
Chinese executives tied to the ruling Communist Party, a deal where Bobulinski says the former
vice president is the "big guy" who had a concealed 10 percent stake.
Biden's failure to offer straightforward denials is baffling because the charges are serious enough to help President Trump. Yet even that prospect has not stirred the Biden campaign to action, nor has it deputized surrogates to make denials for him. There is only silence.
Instead of a thundering, "NO, Hell NO," we get crickets.
Comment: Common flu is always more active when the seasons grow colder - the same has happened every year for decades, commonly known as the 'flu season'. Nevertheless, Fauci had a few words for the Prez; It would seem most of those Biden drive-in rally 'attendees' are parked blocks away social distancing their cars. Similarly, Kamala Harris drew a lively crowd of ten in Asheville, NC. Trump, garnering tens of thousands to his rallies, doesn't treat people like they are the disease.
