Responding to Joe Biden's announcement of his candidacy for president, Ben Shapiro oddly saw it as an opportunity to bash President Trump yesterday, laughably resurrecting the long debunked "fine people hoax" of Charlottesville to riff on Trump's weakness for reelection in 2020.
Trump's still a racist, you see.
Shapiro might as well have been speaking as a paid member of the Biden campaign. That he wasn't speaks to an uglier animus which is willing to lie in order to smear. The goal doesn't care about the facts.
David French, meanwhile, has been in Shapiro's corner of late, defending him on Twitter against recent WaPo stories ludicrously painting Shapiro as alt-right.
Now French is out in TIME, tag-teaming with Shapiro in criticism of Trump as, you guessed it, weak:
What a cohencidence!
In French's reading, Trump is weak because the Mueller report shows him not to be the alpha male he makes himself out to be. If the voters ever find out, he's finished, you see.
Leave it to the impotence of NeverTrump to fixate on fantasies and miss the real source of Trump's 2020 vulnerability.
If the public which elected Trump realizes that the border is even more wide open than it was before he was elected, that's when Trump will be finished.
But, of course, NeverTrump is just fine with wide open borders.
The public won't be hearing that from them.
