Rules for thee but not for me has long been an unwritten motto within the Democratic Party. Whatever they do to you, you must not do to them lest you be improperly “politicizing” whatever the topic of the day is. That was the line trotted out on CNN in a discussion about the Biden-Harris administration’s response to Hurricane Helene, and Scott Jennings was having none of it.
Appearing on Anderson Cooper’s show on Friday, Jennings lit into the suggestion that criticizing Biden and Harris is crossing some sort of line. Specifically, he mentions how George W. Bush was treated in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina:
Joe Biden was at the beach when the hurricane came ashore. VP Harris was raising money w/ celebrities before staging a plane photo op. I promise you if a Republican were in the WH there would be no political restraint, just as there was none after Katrina.
